We offer several Solar Packages which makes it easy and simple for you to get up and running with solar.  This is a great way to go whether you want to do-it-yourself or or hire a professional electrician. These systems have been engineered by the good folks over at AEE Solar and all the components comply with the Underwriters Laboratories Standards for Safety.

We have systems for Grid-Tie (Utility Interconnection) and Grid-Interactive (Grid-Tie with Battery Backup) applications, as well as Grid-Independent Systems to meet all your electrical needs.

All these systems are expandable so that they can grow if your electrical needs expand in the future.

COMPLETE GRID TIE SYSTEMS




 

 


Engineered Grid-Tie PV Systems
      The AEE Grid-Tie Photovoltaic (PV) Power Systems are designed for use on residential and small commercial buildings (Call for larger systems). They consist of high quality Evergreen 190 watt or SolarWorld 175 watt photovoltaic modules, a Fronius, SMA or Xantrex inverter, array wiring, DC and AC disconnects, UniRac mounting structures to secure modules on the roof, electrical drawings, data sheets, warranties and instructions.

Engineered Grid-Tie PV Systems AEE Solar grid-tie PV power systems are designed for use on residential and small commercial buildings. They consist of high quality photovoltaic (PV) modules, Some Xantrex and SMA inverters have integrated DC disconnects. Systems that list “ST7000” as the inverter use the new SMA Sunny Tower 42 kW tower that consists of 6 SMA SB7000US inverters, pre-assembled on a stainless steel structure.

Wiring from the array to the DC disconnect, array ground wiring, and wiring from the AC disconnect to the main panel and all conduit must be supplied by professional installers (your specific installation or utility may require additional AC disconnects).  Contact us to obtain these essential resources and expert advice on your system installation. All components comply with the 2005 National Electrical Code (NEC-2005); IEEE Std 929-2000, Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Recommended Practices for Utility Interface of Photovoltaic (PV) Systems; UL 1741-Underwriters Laboratories Standard for Safety; and the ICBO 2000 International Building Code. The arrays and inverters are matched for maximum efficiency.

These modular systems can be combined to  form larger  systems to meet your

requirements. It is economical to put these systems together for use in 30 kilowatt or smaller systems. For larger systems, please ask us for a quote.

Select a pre-packaged system that meets your needs from the accompanying table. California Energy Commission bases rebates on the system CEC rating in column 4 of the table. CEC’s calculation takes into account module output in normal operating conditions and inverter efficiency.
 

 
 

GRID TIE INTERACTIVE SYSTEMS WITH BACK-UP BATTERY POWER


The AEE Engineered Systems with Battery Back-up are a good choice where brown-outs, black-outs and grid power fluctuations could be an issue. These Grid-Interactive Renewable Energy Systems give you energy independence without leaving you in the dark when the grid goes down. They enable you to demonstrate your personal commitment to a renewable energy future. With these grid-interactive systems, backup AC power is made available in the event of a utility outage, providing reliable power and peace-of-mind. An average conversion efficiency of 89% to 91% using the California Energy Commission (CEC) test protocol provides greater savings and a shorter time period for system payback than previous designs.

Battery Backup Grid Interactive Systems come with modules, array wiring, combiner boxes, roof mounting structures, inverters/control systems with all required over-current protection and disconnects (Your specific installation or utility may require additional AC disconnects). They require a 48 volt battery bank to operate. The size of the battery determines the amount of backup power available during power failure. Use the worksheet on the next page to determine battery bank size. Battery backup systems qualify for the California Energy Commission incentives and the Federal Tax Credit.

Use an FX series Inverter/charger if you don't access to the utility because the Grid Tie Inverter/chargers do not support back-up generators.  If you want the security of having a back-up generator with the benefits of a Grid Interactive system you will need to consider some additional items.  Using an automatic generator start module with a good battery charger (not an automotive type charger) or a separate OutBack's FX series inverter/charger and relay would allow you to have continuous AC electric by using a generator to keep your batteries full during extended Grid shut downs.
