cmrs2k Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 I have not been very active with my posting, mostly because I don't typically post unless I have something specifically important or helpful to add to a thread. I've seen a few topics touching on the subject of solar power for audio and it doesn't seem like there is much there yet, at least nothing practical. Finally, however, it seems that solar on the home is now becoming financially practical. So, at work, given the change in the way many things have been going these days, we have decided to adapt in the best way we know how. So, for some off topic sharing: My house - This is my company's most recent solar project, installed 7/2/2009 We left the rails long to allow me to add two more modules at a later date One of our customers' hay barn - Installed 6/30/2009 Thanks for checking it out.

BigPimpin91 Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 Since this is your profession, how much do these cells contribute to the average home? Is the supplied voltage wired in on a separate circuit or directly into the existing wiring? What's the average life-span per panel?

Sable Nave Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 If I remember correctly, they charge the batts all the time there is sunlight if they have a battery, if not, I'm not sure of how they operate.

cmrs2k Posted July 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 Thanks. It is a grid-interconnected solar photovoltaic system. The beauty is that it operates without batteries which significantly reduces the cost and the hassle. The solar system is the dominant power system and it is either utilized to serve the loads in the home or feeds back onto the utility grid if it generates any excess power and it is sold back to my retail electric provider. At night, or at times when the load is greater than what the solar system is generating, my normal utility service supplements it as necessary. The modules have a 5 year warranty against defects, etc., plus a 10 year warranty that guarantees 90% their rated power and a 25 year warranty for 80% of their rated power.

Forevrbumpn Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 I dont care what the Rep- (well, I wont go there) Say, green energy is the way of the future, and will benefit jobs, and economy I would love to get in to something like that cmrs Quote I have a ritual called "terminator". I crouch in the shower in the "naked terminator" pose. With eyes closed I crouch for a minute and visualize either Arnie or the guy from the 2nd movie. I then start to hum the T2 theme. Slowly I rise to a standing position and open my eyes. It helps me get through my day. The only problem is if the shower curtain sticks to my terminator leg. It sorta ruins the fantasy.

cmrs2k Posted July 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 My company is working on a website right now. It will probably be a couple of weeks before it is up and running. I can check with our renewable energy network and see if there is a reputable company in your area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
