This system is a roof mounted battery backup system that is not connected to the grid.
It supplies power to essential rooms and appliances for the family,
even if there is a local power provider outage.
This system uses (22) 200W Suntech Panels
along with 12 Rolls-Surrette batteries.
So far winter output has been approx. 14.96 kWh per day.
Waverly Installation
January 2010
This is a system designed for maximum performance.
It utilizes panels that absorb light from the back, as well as the front.
The tracking racks follow the sun throughout the day.
The inverter is housed next to the array to reduce energy loss during transit to the home.
This system uses 24 Sanyo HIT Double 190W panels and
2 Zomeworks trackers.
The white rocks are in place to help reflect ambient light to the back sides of the panels.
The owners are careful about their power consumption,
and only use 10 - 20 kWh of power each day.
The system produces (on the shortest days of the year) approximately
25.17 kWh per day. Expected summer output is much higher.
The excess power is sold back to Alabama Power
Cordova Boy Scout System
(January 2010)
The boy scouts of Cordova, Alabama are now powered up!
The hut, which is located on a fantastic hilltop property, was donated to the troop,
but electricity was not available on-site.
Thanks to a local grant, help from the local Mason lodge, and
the donation of labor by our own eagle scout installer- Hank Moreman, the scouts now have Alabama's first solar powered boy scout hut!
This system uses 2 BP 190W panels, and 2 MK batteries for storage.
It produces approximately 1.292 kW of energy per day.
This will be a sufficient amount of power for evening lights, and the occasional
laptop or other small appliance use.
