Roof Shingles roof shingles, and photovoltaic shingles
Shingles that look and install just like ordinary
shingles, but allow your roof to evolve from mere protection from
weather, to a source of solar electric power. These shingles have
been honored with the Popular Science Grand Award, "Best of What's
New," and with Discover magazine's "Technological Innovation Award."

Photovoltaic shingles serve as a conventional shingle for
weather protection, while generating clean solar electricity to
commercial and residential buildings. SHR17.
PV SHINGLES (SHR)
Combining solar innovation with award
winning design, the flexible SHR assumes the pattern of traditional
asphalt shingles. The new PV shingle enables roofs of residential or
commercial buildings to become sources of electricity as well as
protection
from the elements. The PV shingle face is textured to blend and
complement the granular surface of conventional surrounding shingles.
Each shingle is 12 inches (30.48 cm) wide by 86.5 inches (219.71 cm)
long and nailed in place on roof decking over 30 lb. felt sheeting.
Electrical lead wires,
#18AWG, extend 12 inches (30.48
 cm)
from underside of each shingle and pass through the roof deck allowing
interior roof space connections. Once in place, the sun’s warmth helps bond
shingles together forming a weather-resistant seal. Cell exposure 5.0 inches
(12.7 cm) x 86.4 inches (219.46 cm). Array size depends on power demands.

How do you install the solar shingles?
An owner's installation manual is included with the purchase of all
solar roofing products. In general, a roofing contractor will
begin by following conventional roofing installation procedures, until
the solar shingle installation. Using a template provided by
Manufacturer, the roofer will then mark and drill holes for the solar
shingle wiring to be pulled through the roof. After the solar shingles
are installed to match the course of the conventional shingles, an
electrical system installer will wire the solar shingles together in the
space below the roof, and then wire the array of shingles to the
combiner box. The electrical contractor will take the wires from
the combiner box and run them down to the power conditioning equipment
(charge controller, meters, system disconnect switches, fuses, inverter,
and batteries).

The
Triple Junction cells are made by depositing the active silicon material
on unbreakable stainless steel sheet metal. A steel back plate provides
stiffness and the modules are encapsulated in UV stabilized polymers and
framed in anodized aluminum. No glass is used. Bypass diodes ore
connected across each cell, enabling the modules to produce power even
when partially shaded. The US64, 42 and 32 come equipped with (I conduit

OFF-GRID for
Stand Alone Power OkSTA™
Everything in one complete package, meaning that they are
not connected to an electric utility.
Provide electricity beyond power lines. Stand-alone solar electric
power systems install easily for all types of standard or remote power needs,
systems add a battery backup for uninterrupted power during utility
blackouts or outages .
A basic off-grid system consists of a
renewable energy source, which generates DC power, a battery bank that
stores the DC power, and a inverter. Our inverter is the
intelligent center of a renewable energy system, seamlessly converting
DC power to clean and reliable AC electricity for your needs.
The off-grid system pictured here is a solar electric hybrid system that
offers additional automatic features. It consists of solar panels, a
battery bank, our top-of-the-line Plus Inverter/Charger, a
charge controller that manages battery charging, and a generator.

Batteries Required! Utility Tie To the Electric Grid.
A basic grid-tie system, as
shown on the right, consists of solar cells and a
grid-tie inverter. Solar cells take the Sun's energy and turn it
into DC electricity. The inverter turns the DC
electricity generated by the solar cells into utility grade AC
power for use in your home or business.
To enjoy the benefits of green power production and protect your
family from blackouts, you can choose a Xantrex grid-tie system
with batteries and a generator, as shown in Figure. When
utility power fails, your power system will
automatically provide power to run your home security system,
refrigerator, lights, computer and other vital appliances.
A grid-tie system is an effective way to reduce your dependence
on utility power, lower your electric bills, increase green
energy production and improve the environment.

XW Hybrid Inverter/Charger system
The OkSolar XW Hybrid Inverter/Charger
system is a true sine wave inverter/charger that can be used for both
industrial and commercial applications; stand-alone,
grid-backup, and grid-tie with battery energy storage. Capable of being
grid-interactive or grid-independent, the XW Series will operate with
generators and renewable energy sources to provide full-time or backup
power. OkSolar System can process multiple forms of incoming power making it
a popular choice for off-grid applications (those not connected to the
utility grid), as it provides Commerce and Industries with a completely autonomous supply of
electricity from OkSolar. Most applications use solar arrays, but a wind generator,
micro-hydro generator, and/or a fuel generator can also be incorporated into
the system.

Wind Generators
Small wind systems are used for individual homes and businesses that are
off-grid and grid-tie. A small off-grid wind system consists of a wind
turbine, which generates electrical power, a battery bank that stores the
power, and a Xantrex inverter. In many locations hybrid systems that include
solar panels and a generator are used to ensure a “round-the-clock”
electricity supply.
A grid-tie wind system may be as simple as a wind turbine and a Xantrex
grid-tie inverter. Depending on the amount of power being used by the
household, electricity is either fed to or accepted from the utility.
The wind turbine is placed on a tower at a height of up to 100 feet where
the rotor blades are exposed to faster and less turbulent wind. This enables
the turbine to produce the maximum amount of power. Usually, two or three
blades are mounted on a shaft connected to the turbine to form a rotor.
Wind blowing over the blades causes them to lift and rotate. This
rotation is used to spin a shaft inside a generator that converts the motion
into electricity for use in the house or business.
Wind is a completely renewable fuel source and produces no health risks and
no air pollution. For information on complete wind systems follow this link

IQ Solar trees will Power the Future click here for more
information or contact us! Free parking spaces are generally far
too narrow and also very rare. From this point of view, the idea of using
such parking spaces for solar trees appears quite illogical. However, at the
front corners, where most cars are rounded, there is enough space to install
them. With an average power of 400 Wp, the individual units are admittedly
not particularly powerful, but there are many free corners, which add up to
a lot of electricity. UPS systems by IQUPS

Solar Cabin Kits
Are you tired of kerosene lamps and
flashlights when you retreat to your cabin? For less money than you think you
can install a fully functional solar electric system in your cabin or weekend
home to operate your lights, water pump, small appliances, entertainment and
computers. In most parts of the world, solar is actually cheaper than batteries,
kerosene or even installing and operating a generator.
