Many clients come to me from all around the country because they are looking to get a quality solar installation done right, the first time, often it proves challenging to find a local installer that cares about getting all the little details right, not to mention one that is comfortable with energy storage or off-grid solar. The clients below are a few of the many people I work with on a daily basis to design and engineer quality solar systems, all the way from breaking first ground on a scratch built house to flipping the final switch on a finished system.

Owner Notes: Our desire has always been to go off-grid with our Tiny house. Having the ability to park our Tiny anywhere and not be dependent on a power cord, would be a great achievement. That would entail some solar panels, an inverter, a charge controller, and some batteries. How difficult could this be? Lots of people seemed to have done it before. Well, once again, our situation was a bit unique so it required a fair amount of research and custom set up. There was lots to be learned. A few words about the battery install. This was definitely the highlight and the “cool” factor of this system. It was also the part that was not standard off the shelf. We had to manufacture the terminal connectors from copper bars and then the mounting brackets from wood that we tied into the floor. Perhaps the most exciting event for us was that the system generated 2kWh of energy, despite the fact that it rained the entire day. Yes, on a day of rain!!! We didn’t even see a ray of sun. Now, that is awesome!
We officially cut the cord.

Owner Notes: I have 12 SunPower E-20 435 watt panels. (Only 10 are currently connected) They are connected 2 parallel each to a midnite disconnect box. From the disconnect box to the magnum panel box. (Another disconnect inside the house) the solar power then gets sent to a midnite classic 150 (charge controller). I have 4 MS Tesla batteries wired 2 series 2 parallel.(not pictured sorry) This then runs from batteries to my Magnum PAE4448 inverter. Power from my inverter is wired directly to the house main panel. This is NOT a grid-tied system. This is a stand-alone system and has been working great.
It takes a bit of time to understand what you are doing but once you do it is so empowering and it saves you money if you are planning for the future.

Install Notes: I’m using an Australian made ‘Selectronic’ storage controller, this is a very cool unit… it can mange unto 15KWh, either all from batteries, or a combination of AC Coupled PV or Generator (which I don’t have yet). The Inverter is a Fronius Primo 6.0KW, this is AC coupled and managed by the
