News
DEPCOM Power located in Arizona has found a unique way to give back. This company formed a non-profit and separate LLC to give to the impoverished and veterans, and to educate and provide solar. On their solar installations panels are sometimes bruised and not used on that job. But, DEPCOM refurbishes them and donates the panels for non-profit use.
Solar and energy storage comes to Grand Rapids. Circuit West is a project that will encompass 10 city blocks around Bridge Street and Seward Avenue. It will focus on testing and implementing solar and energy storage systems for residential and commercial customers. The city of Grand Rapids has forward-thinking sustainability goals and supports such projects.
The MSU solar carports were commission on November 15, 2017 and were touted to save the university $10 million over 25 years. One year later the solar carports are performing as designed. This is the one of the largest installation of solar carports in the US.
Projects
Forty 365 Longi solar panels with half-cell technology are mounted to this ornamental canopy structure using Ironridge rails and a custom mounting technique. The DC is converted by two 7.7 kW SMA inverters.
Eaton Rapids 14.4 kW Ground Mount. This ground mount uses a helical screw to anchor in the racking and has two 7.7 kW SMA inverters. The panels are 380 W Jinko Solar.
This roof installation in a historic neighborhood has twelve 395 W Jinko Solar panels with a 5.0 kW SMA inverter and optimizers. The racking is Ironridge.
This off grid system has a manually adjustable tracking system and 4 kW of Trina 340 W solar panels. The inverter is an Outback 4048, with a Schneider charger controller, and Outback batteries. No electricity bill for this home!
This is the project that Greg enjoyed most. A 2.45 kW system installed with a special helper, his daughter. The panels are Silfab 350 W with Solar Edge P-370 optimizers and a 3800 HD Solar Edge inverter.
This 6.8 kW solar awning provides power and shade. The shading will save on cooling costs in the summer and the solar will generate electricity all year around.
Electric vehicle charging station commercial install, Wyoming. These 4 Siemens chargers each put out 7.2kW and come with 20’ cables and SAE J1772 couplers. Michigan has an EV roadmap plan and is incentivizing the installs.
This large custom array of 44 panels has 20 kWh of Li-on battery backup, 5 inverters, automatic backup units, Tigo optimizers, and Lumin Smart Energy Panels.
