Solar Electric Power for Independent Living

Residential solar electric power systems offer an excellent alternative for people who are looking for back-up power or stand alone power systems. Solar electric systems are ideal for those who choose to live beyond the reach of conventional electric power. Solar electric power is clean, affordable and requires very little maintenance. More than 50,000 families in the U.S. have chosen solar power for their electric systems. Throughout the world, many thousands of people depend on solar electricity as their primary source of power.

Authorized Distributor

If you choose to live more than a third of a mile from power, photovoltaics can be a cost effective alternative for you. when you factor in the cost of line extensions and monthly electric bills, solar electricity is often the preferred alternative. Other options are wind, hydro, or gas generators or some combination of the above.

Over the past 20 year, residential solar electric systems have been installed in every climate. As the solar industry has grown modules have become more efficient and affordable, and the accessory equipment even more reliable. Kyocera solar electric modules have a 25 year warranty and have no moving parts and need little or no maintenance.

Choosing a solar electric company can be challenging. Let us help take the worry out of that decision. Kyocera Solar Global Distribution services a domestic and international network of hundreds of experienced Authorized Distributors and Dealers. These dealers will provide you with their expertise throughout the design and installation process.

IQ Green Energy Systems

Businesses and homeowners around the world are using OkSolar systems
Integrated systems Solar, fuel Cells and wind energy.

OkSolar products provide you with high-quality, reliable, "IQ green" electricity as an alternative to centralized power generation or combustion generators. Your choices include grid-tie systems for use in conjunction with utility power, or off-grid systems for complete freedom from the utility grid.

Applications

Commercial - Industrial - Military and Residential

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.

Grid Tie OkGT™ Everything in one complete package, systems are our standard complete packages that include everything you need to make your own electricity. Sell electricity back to your utility company, No 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.

OkSolar 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 to Wind Generators

Floating Wind Turbines, up to 1000 feet in height deliver 4kW to 1600kW

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
