| Xantrex powers residential solar system in Canada Xantrex Technology Inc. supplied the solar inverters for one of Canada's largest residential solar systems connected to the electrical grid. A couple in Queensville, Ontario had the 8.55 kilowatt peak system installed in their large country home. It will significantly reduce their electric utility bills. The system includes three Xantrex GT 3.0 grid tie solar inverters and 50 Sanyo solar modules. The Xantrex inverters efficiently convert the raw DC energy collected by the solar panels into household AC power for use in the home or for sale to the electric grid. The system was installed by Enviro-Energy Technologies, Inc. The Queensville house is located about 30 minutes north of Toronto. The solar array is located on the south-facing roof of the house and also on the porch roof. The system is expected to produce approximately 11.8 MWh of electricity per year. Depending on the time of year, it will provide anywhere from 50% to 95% of the electricity for the home. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Construction News :: home page |
