Solar Energy System Now Economical For Everyone

The federal stimulus package makes this the perfect time to install a solar power system.

The solar industry has been crying out for something like this for years.

Simple, inovative, and effective. These solar modules are sleek and refined being designed to blend in with your roof.

Design Advantages

With the old technology solar power systems needed some care to install, especially with the high voltage DC cabling and main central inverter setup. In fact it could be hazardous when handled incorrectly.

Not any more...

This new system uses micro-inverters fastened to each individual solar module to output grid compatible AC power. Modules are then connected in parallel, then wired directly into your AC load center.

You specify the size of solar power system you need (1 to 6 kilowatts), then everything needed for the installation onto your roof is shipped in a box to your doorstep! Cool isn't it?

Installation is quite simple because the micro-inverter is pre-assembled into each module's mounting frame.

Indeed, all the equipment is pre-engineered and pre-assembled to make this system easier to install than a rail system, using 70% less roof penetrations.

Everything you need is shipped to you ready to mount.

This solar energy system is equally suited for residential or commercial applications. In the business world it's especially important to maintain power. The built in redundancy afforded by the micro-inverter is perfect, because loss of power is never an issue.

The micro-inverter gives you modularity and scalability because you can start with any size of installation you wish, then simply expand with further modules as and when you are ready.

The energy management unit (EMU) allows you to watch a graphical display of your system produce power in real time, including individual module evaluation, total system output, and carbon equivalent offsets.

In a standard solar system with central inverter, the whole string of modules are treated as one. Therefore should a single module become shaded, or malfunction, the entire system is brought down to the output of the single module.

With this solar power system, shading is no longer an issue because modules are handled on an individual basis. The reduced output of a shaded module does not affect the remaining modules performance at all.

This means that modules can now be installed on multi-aspect roofs without detriment to the entire power system.

Economic Advantages

There always has to be an economic benefit for us to feel like we should make the investment, well you won't be disappointed...

• Federal Stimulus Tax Credit of 30% on all Clean Energy Installations
• State Solar Energy Rebate (Variable State to State)
• Solar Renewable Energy Credit bill (SREC), Which Obliges Utility Companies To Pay You For Surplus Energy You Produce
• Bomb Proof Against Volatile Oil Market
• Safeguard Your Future Energy Supply
• Net Zero Energy Bills
• Return On Investment As Low As 4.5 Years

...because the suns energy is abundant and free. Which makes economical sense to use, right?

You can have self reliance and be in total control of your energy supply, as well as being in zero net energy use after 4.5 years.

Given that your solar power system will easily last you 25 years, that's 20+ years of free renewable energy.

What's that worth?

Environmental Advantages

The natural environment is being degraded at an unsustainable rate year-on-year. By simply living the way we do, we are inadvertently causing this to happen.

By choosing to save money and energy by installing a solar power system, you are reducing your impact on the planet's resources.

You will be...

• Reducing Your Carbon Footprint
• Reducing Embedded Energy Consumption in Oil Supply Chain
• Reducing Climate Change
• Improving Your Energy Efficiency and Management
• Show Casing Your Solar Home to Show Your Neighbors How Good It Is

Only by individuals taking control of their lifestyle in an environmentally friendly way, can we make a difference.

It is now easier than ever to install a solar energy system that any good DIYer can do it (although I would advise having a local electrician make the final connection into the house load center).

Also it now makes economical sense to install a solar energy system. In the past the return on investment was way too long. At only around 4.5 years, you are very quickly into the free energy zone.

That's why I am excited over these developments in the industry. It would be crazy not to take advantage of this unique economic advantages coupled with these new design benefits.

Solar City $180.02 This book is based on a master thesis project developed by Helle Hejler Andersen Mathias Lind Klogborg at the Master program in Architecture at Architecture Design, Aalborg University, Denmark. The project focuses on designing an energy neutral building in a Danish context integrating dwellings, public outdoor spaces and other functions. The building industry emits more than 40 of the Danish energy consumption, and for that reason it is a focal point to act on. As architects we play an important role in reducing costs and CO2 emission while at the same time designing better homes and indoor environments for people to live in. In order to meet these issues and to achieve energy neutrality the focus has been on integrating renewable energy sources without compromising the architectural quality. To solve this task the Integrated Design Process (IDP) has been used as a tool during the entire project to reach an integrated design. The project is based on the Bolig+ program. It originates from a Danish architectural competition that ended in 2009. The project period lasted 4 months, from February 2010 to June 2010.
