| Sharp solar modules on Habitat for Humanity Homes  Sharp will supply solar modules for several Habitat for Humanity homes in Suffolk County, New York. Up to 10 additional homes on Long Island will have solar modules installed over the year 2007 on existing newly constructed homes. Each array of Sharp modules will be 3 to 4 kilowatts in size; enough to provide most of the electricity used by each household. All systems will utilize Sharp's new Solar Racking System, SRS. The system includes 187-watt ND-187U1 solar modules, mounting structure and a Sharp Sunvista inverter, all designed for streamlined installation, improved aesthetics and high reliability.Designed for residential or light commercial systems, the SRS sits lower on the roof than prior racking systems, and is ideal for both retrofit and new construction. In addition to the home installations, Habitat for Humanity will have Sharp modules installed on its own corporate offices in Suffolk County. A 4 kW system will be installed on one of its two buildings, followed by a 6 kW system on the larger, second building. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Construction News :: home page |
