Your panels will be clean and shiny, but surprise surprise, it’s more expensive than the panel itself.And it has lots of moving parts so it probably won’t last as long as our 25 year warranty panels!

SMA inverter with emergency back up power.

Yesterday we installed a state of the art SMA TL inverter with Emergency Backup power!

This allows for appliances to be used even when the power is out.

All you have to do is flip the switch below the inverter during a power outage and you’re free to use your refrigerator, coffee maker, cell phone charger or any other item in the house up to 1880 watts!

 

 

Check out our satisfied customer plugging in an appliance using solar power. As long as the sun is shining during a power blackout, you have power!

]]> Edison’s “toaster test” http://solarforward.com/edisons-toaster-test/ Sat, 20 Aug 2011 06:44:00 +0000 http://www.solarforward.com/edisons-toaster-test/ Why is Edison wanting to “test” inverters and “inspect” solar systems as if we are in the 1950’s and the electron is to be feared?

The test is like someone coming to your home and turning on your toaster and waiting for it to pop! When was the last time a brand new toaster didn’t pop? Do you think a solar installer is qualified to know if a toaster (inverter) is working properly?
This is a money grab by Edison and forces clients to wait for a month for the inspector to show up before they get credit for their solar system.
