I have designed the "Planet's Suite" to act as pillars, or standards, to guide you and inspire you. To form a framework in your minds, around which you may build an understanding of how to successfully apply solar electricity in your home or business.
All components used are of the finest quality. Twenty year warranty on the incredible, indestructible Uni-Solar panels, as used by the U.S. military. Three year warranty on inverter's, control systems. Five years on batteries.
As foundation systems, I am concious of the need to supply components of the finest quality. The finest solar panels, inverter's , batteries and controllers are used throughout....NO CHEATING, and no cheaply made sine wave inverter's, or regulators, typical of hobbyist electronics stores.
