Solar (PV) Power Systems

Commercial Solar

Solar (PV) Power Systems provide a reliable and proven source of DC power by converting sunlight directly into electricity. Solar (PV) Power Systems are a good fit for commercial and industrial applications because they’re economical, require very little maintenance and have no ongoing fuel requirements.

Mounting Configurations

We offer a variety of mounting options to satisfy virtually any budget and/or site requirement. We can also provide custom mounting solutions for unique requirements.

Roof Mount

Our Roof Mount Systems are a good fit for commercial applications as they make use of often unused real-estate (roof). Systems can be flush mount or mounted at a desired tilt angle. Systems are designed in accordance with applicable building codes and standards.

Ground Mount

Our Ground Mount Systems are a cost-effective mounting solution when and where space permits. We can provide a variety of ground mount options large and small from reputable racking manufacturers.

VersaTilt Mount

Our VersaTilt Mount is designed to allow solar arrays to be adjusted to reach multiple desired tilt angles horizontally from 0° – 55°. This gives the system the ability to achieve maximum performance during the change of seasons.

Pole Mount

Our Fixed Pole Systems are a cost-effective solution for mounting single or multiple solar arrays to an aluminum pole structure. Fixed Pole Systems can be equipped with an optional ladder (on back of pole) to help faciliate periodic maintenance and troubleshooting.

Retractable Pole Mount

Our patented RP Series Retractable Mast is a safe and convenient solution for mounting solar arrays to a pole structure at ground level. The system can be raised and lowered via a hand-crank or power drill for safe and easy installation, maintenance and replacement.

Custom Mount

This custom Ballasted System combines a solar array, charging & monitoring equipment, batteries, battery box, ballast and adjustable leveling supports. This flexible design can be constructed in a few hours and can be used as a permanent or temporary solution.

System Components / Hybrids

We can provide the balance of system components for a truly “turnkey” solution; saving you time and resources by eliminating the need to source system components from multiple vendors.

Controllers/Accessories

High-quality MPPT Solar Charge Controllers, Relay Drivers, DC-AC Inverters and DC-DC Converters can be provided to complete our systems and come pre-wired and pre-assembled to customer requirements. For existing customers we can also provide replacement controllers. Contact us below.

Batteries

Batteries play a vital role within your wayside solar power system. Faced with the complex charge/discharge cycling patterns imposed by the unpredictability of weather, batteries with high cycling capability should be used with solar power systems. We offer both Ni-Cd and LA.

Battery Boxes

Temperature extremes and unwanted exposure can place stress on critical battery systems. Our robust all-welded aluminum (steel construction also available) battery boxes are designed to shield and protect battery systems located in harsh outdoor environments.

Micro-Wind Turbines

Wind Turbines can provide supplemental power to solar power systems during periods of insufficient solar radiation. We utilize the robust SuperWind Wind Turbines (350W-1.2kW) which can operate under extreme conditions autonomously and automatically for improved reliability.

Solid Oxide Fuel Cells

Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFC) can provide supplemental power to solar power systems during periods of inclement weather and winter to improve overall system reliability. We utilize Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (250W-1kW) that are powered by propane or natural gas and automatically start when voltage is low.

Stirling Engines

Stirling Engines are capable of providing supplemental power to solar power systems during periods of inclement weather and winter months. We utilize PowerGen Stirling Engines (1.2kW to 5.6kW) that are powered by propane or natural gas and can operate automatically for 60,000+ hours!
