  • Solar Power Generation Systems

There are three general varieties of solar panels using photovoltaic (PV) cells on the market today. They are monocrystaline PV, polycrystalline PV and thin film PV. To understand what the components of a solar power system are and how they operate click here.

Solar panels of photovoltaic cells convert the suns rays into clean, renewable electricity. We offer solar power panels for a multitude of applications including industrial, community, ranches, farms, urban and metro applications.

Implementing a solar panel power system has never been better in terms of getting rebates and tax incentives. Most solar panels come with an outstanding twenty to thirty year warranty. The majority of modules use wafer-based crystalline silicon cells or a thin-film cell based on cadmium telluride or silicon. Crystalline silicon, which is commonly used in the wafer form in photovoltaic (PV) modules, is derived from silicon, a relatively multi-faceted element.

Solar panels that we sell range from 60 Watts to 280 watts. Electricity from solar PV panels is DC (direct current) and must be converted to AC (alternating current) so it can be used in home or commercial applications. This conversion is performed using an inverter that comes with the system procured.

Generally speaking, modules of 125 Watts and under are 12V nominal and may be wired at 12, 24, 48 or higher voltages by putting them in series. Solar panels of at least 130W output are generally 24V nominal or more and so may only be used for 24V or higher arrays. There are some newer modules which have nominal voltages different than the traditional 12 or 24. These are a result of different form factors using a different number of cells. Generally, panels of unusual voltages are intended for grid-tie systems which operate at much higher voltages than battery systems.

Please review the page marked Solar Panels for availability and pricing of panels.
