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.

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.
