A photovoltaic solar panel system that uses solar cells to convert sunlight into electricity. The solar cells are combined into photovoltaic modules, which are connected together into a system or an array. The modules are mounted into a rack system based on installation location. Racks could be mounted to the ground or roof. The photovoltaic system produces electricity in the form of direct current, which is converted to alternating current using a solar inverter unit. The electricity generated is used by the structure or fed back to a grid system, such as a local or public power company grid.
Included in Cost: Roof mounted grid-tied photovoltaic solar panel system that generates 2 kilowatts (kW) of electricity, ten (10) 205 watt 16 volt 59" x 39" photovoltaic panels, DC/AC solar power inverter, aluminum rack system, combiner panel board, safety switches, lightning arrestors, grounding rod, conduit and wiring to power grid at service panel, feeder wire, connection and activation of photovoltaic array, and installation labor.
Enter the number of 2 kWh photovoltaic systems found in the home.
