3240 watts, 18 Sunwize 180 watt panels and 18 Enphase Energy Inverters, Price $32,789.  We now may construct a reinforced 5 inch thick concrete pad in place of tube footings or we may use Techno Metal Post hydraulic pressure to install the mounting legs.  This unit can also be installed on a flat Commercial Roof without roof penetrations and without the concrete using a ballasted array system that is a little more costly, but does not require extensive renovation every time a roof needs repair.

Construction began in mid-January in Northern New Jersey.

There was no snow and no frost in the ground.  What a winter!

The array covers 31 feet in width.  It was designed wide to be low profile.

This is a view from the rear of the home.  The array faces due South (180 degrees)

It is tilted at 30 degrees.  The footings are 5 feet deep plus the above ground concrete.

The legs are 2 inch galvanized pipe (2 1/2" od). Solar Modules (panels) are Sharp 170 watt.

The diagonal bracing is square aluminum tubing by Unirac of New Mexico

As you can see, there is quite a slope.

The Xantrex GT 3.0 Inverter is managing the power from 18 panels totaling 3060 watts. On the second day of operation on February 7, 2006 the sun shone brightly for about 10 minutes.  The 3000 watt inverter's meter showed that the array was producing 3000 watts of power.  There is nothing like perfection.  It received a rating of 100% when inspected by the BPU inspector.
