Solar Panels Available

We have a large order of 60 cell, the standard size solar panels, 250w, coming in and will be available on a first come first serve basis. We also have our next order of hybrid inverters small ones 12v for vans and such, medium size 24v units for travel trailers, motorhomes, and small cabins/homes, this is the one we are currently installing in our own large 5th wheel, and two sizes of 48v units for larger applications. Three of them can even be paralleled for 3-phase power.

For those of you exploring the costs and savings of solar power, we would be happy to take the time to go through it with you and can design, provide all of the materials, install the system and arrange for the electrician to do the final inspection and connection.

As a point of reference current systems are coming in at 6-8 cents a kwh compared to 8.5 and 12.5 that you are paying hydro currently. 

Contrary to popular misconceptions, solar panels generate 30-45% of their power from the portion of the suns spectrum outside of visible light. In other words, principally ultra violet and infrared which penetrate cloud cover.
