We use Sharp modules for off-grid systems. Sharp makes many different sizes and shapes of modules, making them incredibly versatile. We like the 167-watt module the best for off-grid systems.
Due to a
unique combination of single crystal and amorphous, thin film silicon technologies the Sanyo
module achieves a conversion efficiency of 18.5%, one of the most powerful modules available
today. This allows more power to be collected per square foot of roof area.
Sanyo also makes a translucent module, which works well for awnings and building integrated design.
Central to the design of the RES commercial system is the use of the German made, SMA America, Sunny
Boy 7000US, 7.0 kW string inverter. SMA, the largest supplier of inverters for the European
solar market (the largest market in the world) is widely recognized as having the best customer
support system in the industry, the most reliable equipment in today’s market and the most
advanced data acquisition and data display systems in the industry.
