PV
panels mount to any kind of roof material, pole structure
or ground lattice with standard or custom racking options
and single or multi-axis tracking arrays.
Pole
Mount Multi-Axis Tracking
The 2.5-kilowatt arrays, will produce more than 4,000 kilowatt
hours worth of power annually, or enough to run a typical
home for five months. Image: Beth Hecht / Muscatine Journal.
Solar
Shading Structures
BP,
Shell, and this ARCO station; Which utilizes the weather shelter’s
3,000 square feet of rooftop to power the station, air conditioner
and gas pumps included. Oil companies have found that reducing
their energy overhead allows them to sell fossil fuel at a
greater profit.

Fail-Safe
Siren
This system powers an early warning siren system for a nuclear
facility. Designed to provide a continuous and fail-safe independent
power for each of the four independent and differing systems.
Each Sol-Gen system required from six to nine 60 Watt BP Solar
PV modules and battery backup for 10 days of, sunless autonomous
operation. Image:

PV
systems produce grid-tied or standalone 120v, 240v, 480v,
single or 3-phase AC electric power, scalable for any sized
load.
Rail
Mount Single-Axis Tracking
PVUSA:
Single axis pole structures. By tracking the sun the system
converts 10-15% more power than fixed mounted systems of the
same size, justifying the nominal increase in hardware costs.
Autonomous
Communications
This photo shows how compact a PV power system can be. Placing
the panels above the battery control enclosure allows the
panels to provide shade for the enclosure during the hottest
part of the day. This PV system's low maintenance and
high reliability make it a perfect choice for remote locations.
This view, from the rear, shows the structural details. Thoughtful
design details allow the panel array to withstand high winds.
Enclosures can be made extremely vandal resistant. Image:

Highly
Durable Flat Roof Mount
Flat roof solar PV array provides peak power and critical
systems backup for the NASA-Ames Research Space Sciences Lab
in Mt. View, CA.
