We have a 2.76 kilowatt PV system, which consists of 12 230-watt Sharp ND-U230c1 panels. Our photovoltaics are made of Polycrystalline silicon, which will convert solar radiation into direct current electricity. We’re still connected to the grid, so we’ll have an inverter to convert DC to AC. The company, Sharp, claims that the ND-U230c1 panels use an advanced surface texturing process to increase light absorption which will, in turn, improve efficiency.
By taking advantage of daylighting techniques, conserving energy and using only Energy Star-rated appliances, we hope our PV system will offset our electricity needs in the warmer months and take a chunk out of our electricity bill in colder, darker months.
And finally, I leave you with a YouTube clip about solar energy. Sounds boring, but it’s not. How's this for an endorsement—one person comments:
Man this 2 minute commercial was far superior in many ways than Transformers 2 and 2012!
It’s important. It’s dramatic. It’s short. Watch it. Please. :)
the apparatus he is standing on is that stationary or does he remove that after installation. We need to add trim to our metal roof and are trying to figure out how to do that also did you use ice breakers not sre tech term place on roof so snow and ice does not come down is sheets. Thanks
