Photovoltaic Systems by Rochester Solar and Wind

Low Profile

Low Profile Solar Panel Mounts by Unirac minimizes the vertical height of your array. For example, array can be discreetly positioned behind a parapet.   Low Profile Mounts are particularly versatile.  Turn them upside down and you have yourself a solar overhang.  With a low profile mounts  solar panels can be mounted either landscaped or portrait.   

 

High Profile

High Profile Solar Panel Mounts

High-profile solar panel mounts are an inexpensive way to mount solar panels on ground or roofs.  Our Syracuse Solar and Wind team have utilized high profile mounts for many solar installations in central and western new York.  A high profile mount orientation maximizes module density at your site. Choose tilt angle based on geographic location, or change the tilt angle seasonally to maximize your electrical output.

 

 

 

Battery Back up Inverters

Battery Back up Inverters for Emergancies

Battery Back-up inverters can be consider these a separate type of inverter altogether. They combine the grid tie functionality with the benefits of being connected to a battery bank and/or  a standby generator. The battery bank allows you to store power for those emergency power outages.

Micro Inverters

Micro Inverters

A solar power systems (Photovoltaic systems) production can be affected by many factors such as module mis-match (module mismatch is the fluctuation of output between two solar panel with the same plated wattage, but one produces less power than the other), shading, and obstacles such as dust or debris. In addition, non-uniform changes in temperature, solar irradiance, and shading create complex current-voltage curves, affecting energy output. This is due to the fact that in traditional systems the performance of the entire system is dictated by the performance of the weakest module.

Grid Tied Inverters

Grid Tied Inverters

Inverters are the single most important part of any solar system, they converts direct current (DC) power to alternating current (AC).  Every home and business in the Rochester and the rest of New York uses AC power.  Inverters that integrated with the grid are called grid tied or a grid-tie.
