A brand-new solar home installation in Escondido, California is showcasing an array of solar energy equipment, including a solar hot water (solar thermal) system, solar photovoltaic (PV) panels and SolarEdge Technologies inverters, which have an industry-leading efficiency rate of 97.5 percent. Generally speaking, this means that only 2.5 percent of the energy is lost when converting the direct current (DC), which is generated by PV panels, to alternating current (AC), which is used to power homes.
- With a 97.5 percent efficiency rate, SolarEdge’s DC-AC inverters are among the most efficient on the market
The Escondido solar home plays host to 26 multi-crystalline PV modules, which were installed by Photon Solar Power, a solar installation company that serves customers in Colorado, San Diego and other parts of southern California.
According to the press release, solar energy professionals in the area may pay particular attention to this residential solar installation because it is the first grid-tied system in the U.S. to incorporate SolarEdge’s inverters. If successful, the installation could pave the way for many more solar homes to incorporate the company’s high-efficiency inverter technology.
Colleges are the place for this…..the activist spirit is strong in young kids…..Keeping the planet green and sustainable. There are opportunities all over the place. Envision solar has a very interesting plan about how and where to utilize solar energy. PARKING LOTS, which colleges have a lot of….. Using this inefficient space and building solar groves parking lots will better utilized…..
