These page show examples of local solar installations with which we have been involved.

...and the DC disconnect, SunnyBoy 2500, AC disconnect
and PG&E meter cupboard.
A 40-panel roof-mounted photovoltaic system.

The array is in three sections:- one 10 module string on the left,
two sets of 10 in the middle and the last set of 10 on the right.

The white pickup truck and the red Th!nk City are both pure
electric vehicles. The charging needs of the truck as well as
the requirements of the house will be met by the solar system.
