- Solar Power Generation Systems
There are three general varieties of photovoltaic (PV) modules on the market today. They are monocrystaline PV, polycrystalline PV and thin film PV. To understand what the components of a solar power creating system are and how it operates click here.
Solar Panels convert the suns rays into clean, renewable electricity. We offer solar power for a multitude of alternative energy applications including home and commercial applications.
Photovoltaic solar power is very dependable and has rebates and tax incentives. Most solar panels come with an outstanding twenty-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.
The large solar panel category includes modules from 60 Watts to 260 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. 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. The modules 130W and up 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, modules of unusual voltages are intended for grid-tie systems which operate at much higher voltages than battery systems.
Please review the page marked 'Solar Panel Prices' for availability and pricing of modules.
Example of a rooftop system.
Power generating wind turbines have been around for several decades. Like their solar power counterparts, wind turbines have experienced increased usage and popularity. Wind turbines are available from 100 Watts up to 3 MW in output. The larger systems of 100KW on up are what you might see at wind farms. These wind farms are of a utility grade and take many years to get studied, permitted and built.
Our company’s purpose is to concentrate on what is referred to as vertical axis wind turbines (VAWT) designed and built by Skyron Systems in Portland, OR. These VAWT systems can be used in high-rise metropolitan applications, in urban settings, on coastal applications, on farms, wineries, ranches, or other areas where a good wind regime exists. These Skyron VAWT systems are currently available in 3KW configuration and are very attractive. Kind of like kinetic art.
Because of their unique design they are omni-directional, do not kill avian wildlife, are silent like a whisper in operation, and have a broad appeal for marketing, branding or showing the sustainability mindset of management.
Each potential wind turbine location has its own ‘fingerprint’ wind patterns. When considering whether to install a wind turbine it is recommended you have a wind study performed for your location to determine feasibility. A specific location may have strong winds during certain times of year but is devoid of wind at other times. Wind studies should be performed over a one to two month time frame at the site being considered for mounting the turbine.
Winds vary in velocity and turbulence depending on a location’s altitude, time of year, location to adjacent structures and trees, location relative to mountains and cities, etc. Data captured by the instruments is compiled and analyzed for determining if a site is good enough for a vertical axis wind turbine. The VAWT wind turbines are relatively new to the market and the Skyron Systems design appears to be an effective unit.
