10 kW MicroFIT Solar Power System
|
Eric has a small suburban factory and wants to turn an unused roof into a secure, green investment.

Partial shading called for a micro-inverter system to maximize output and revenue. Micro-inverters monitor output from each panel separately, so the Solar Power System continues to produce electricity even when not all the panels are producing power.
The installation includes includes south-facing ballasted mounts pitched 25° and spaced to avoid shading. Ballasted mounts use heavy materials, such as concrete, to hold panels on the roof, so penetration into the roof structure is not required.
