Choose between grid-tie systems for use in conjunction with utility power, or off-grid systems for complete independence from the utility grid.
A basic off-grid system consists of solar panels to generate DC power, a battery bank that stores the DC power, and an inverter.
Solar Panels
To increase power output, cells are electrically connected into a packaged weather-tight solar panel. Panels are then connected to form an arrangement, known as a grid-tied system. The number of panels connected together depends on the amount of power output needed.
Batteries
Off-grid PV systems use rechargeable batteries to store excess electricity. The size of the battery bank required will depend on the storage capacity required, the maximum discharge rate, the maximum charge rate, and the minimum temperature at which the batteries will be used.
Charge Controllers
Electron uses fully computerized MPPT or Maximum Power Point Tracking Mechanism change controllers. This computer board technology allows the solar panels to reach their maximum output capacity, saving you dollars in extra panels saved. This is the finest technology available on market today. We also sell all lines of regular charge controllers for smaller applications in international markets.
Inverter
Every Electron Solar system includes an inverter, which converts the electricity produced by the solar panels from direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC), which is the kind of electricity you use in your home. When the sun is up, the solar panels generate power to charge batteries and provide electricity. At night, the inverter runs your electrical equipment from your battery bank. The system can also be used as part of a backup power system by using batteries to store power and an inverter to supply AC power from the batteries.
Utility net metering:
Your Electron Solar System connects to your main electrical panel. A meter tracks net energy usage, which can generate a credit when your system creates more electricity than required.
Warranty
Electron offers one of the longest warranty on Solar Energy Systems in the entire Industry
Solar Panels- Guaranteed for 25 years for 80% of nameplate rated output.
Inverters- 5 to 8 year manufacturer warranty depending on model and application
Batteries- 2 year manufacturer guarantee
Workmanship- 10 year warranty on all installation workmanship and materials.
A Note to our customers: Electron hand selects the finest materials on the planet with an emphasis on products built in North America. With our substantial export department it is imperative that all products used in an Electron Solar Energy system be of the best quality on market. If a component fails in the mountains of Chile or the plains of Kenya, the shipping costs for a return far outweigh the value of the component in most cases. For that reason we do not strive to be the cheapest company of our type, we strive to be the best quality you will find for your investment in solar power.
