Photovoltaic (PV) systems
In addition to solar modules or panels, a photovoltaic (PV) system requires
a mounting structure to tilt panels toward the sun, an inverter to convert
panel-generated direct current (DC) into appliance-friendly alternating current
(AC), in some cases battery storage to compensate for power outages, and a
charge controller to regulate battery operation.
Grid-tie systems are interconnected
to the utility network. Wired with a synchronizing inverter, grid-tie systems
feed surplus electricity back into the local utility. The utility acts as an
infinite storage system, buying the excess electricity through credits. Grid-tie
systems are aligned with many government-sponsored incentives.
Lock in your electric costs now
by producing your own electricity before the power company raise
rates AGAIN. (SDG&E just announced 30% rate hikes and PG&E announced a 12% rate
hike.) The Obama Administration intends more financial penalties
for the Electric Power Industry in order to encourage conversion to clean
renewable energy sources. This will result in significantly higher energy rates
to the consumer in the near future.
Help the environment: Sun-generated
power is clean -- no pollution, noise or fossil fuels. A typical 6 kilowatt
system will eliminate 120 tons of carbon dioxide over its 30+ year lifetime.
Gain energy independence:
While everyone in your neighborhood is experiencing brown outs or black outs,
you will still enjoy full power.
