Solar Power Electrics

Posts Tagged ‘Electric’

This is a tour with details of an off-grid solar power installation I worked on a few years ago. I go over a system diagram, show the system itself, and then talk about the safety features including breakers/fuses, lightning arrestors, and bonding equipment to ground.

This system includes 2100watts of solar panels, a 10kW diesel generator, two Outback FM-80 charge controllers, two Outback inverters, an Outback Mate, a Xantrex TMA-500 battery status monitor, and 6 4volt, 1104amphour Surrette/Rolls lead acid deep cycle batteries.

Thanks to Ottawa Solar Power (http://ottawasolarpower.com) for allowing me to use this installation in this off-grid solar power video.

Microgrid Energy interviews one of its residential clients, Jim Meeks, a homeowner in Hillsboro, MO who had Microgrid install a 5 kW Ground Mount Solar PV Array using Enphase Microinverters.

SOLAR CURIOUS? Call us at (314) 657-0955 or tweet @microgrid

In the video, we highlight Mr. Meeks experience with having solar installed in his home, how the process works, what to expect as a home owner interested in solar, how his micro inverters can be tracked online, and how his wife’s new favorite hobby is watching the meter spin backwards!
