Components that make up a typical solar system
Inverters
A solar inverter, or PV inverter, converts the 'Suns Rays' variable direct current (DC) output of a photovoltaic(PV) solar panel into a utility frequency alternating current (AC) that can be fed into a commercial electrical grid or used by a local, off-grid electrical network [home]. It is a critical component in a photovoltaic system, allowing the use of ordinary commercial appliances. Solar inverters have special functions adapted for use with photovoltaic arrays, including maximum power point tracking and anti-islanding protection.
|
Solar Panels
A solar panel (also solar module, photovoltaic module or photovoltaic panel) is a packaged, connected assembly of photovoltaic cells. The solar panel can be used as a component of a larger photovoltaic system to generate and supply electricity in commercial and residential applications. Each panel is rated by its DC output power under standard test conditions, and typically ranges from 100 to 320 watts. The efficiency of a panel determines the area of a panel given the same rated output - an 8% efficient 230 watt panel will have twice the area of a 16% efficient 230 watt panel. Because a single solar panel can produce only a limited amount of power, most installations contain multiple panels. A photovoltaic system typically includes an array of solar panels, an inverter, and sometimes a battery and or solar tracker and interconnection wiring. |
Smart Meter
Monitoring and meteringThe metering must be able to accumulate energy units in both directions or two meters must be used. Many meters accumulate bidirectionally, some systems use two meters, but a unidirectional meter (with detent) will not accumulate energy from any resultant feed into the grid.[13] In some countries, for installations over 30kWp a frequency and a voltage monitor with disconnection of all phases is required. This is done to prevent supplying excess power to the grid, in the unusual case where more solar power is being generated than can be accommodated by the utility, and can not either be exported or stored. Grid operators historically have needed to provide transmission lines and generation capacity. Now they need to also provide storage. This is normally hydro-storage, but other means of storage are used. Initially storage was used so that baseload generators could operate at full output. With variable renewable energy, storage is needed to allow power generation whenever it is available, and consumption whenever it is needed. The two variables a grid operator have are storing electricity for when it is needed, or transmitting it to where it is needed. If both of those fail, installations over 30kWp can automatically shut done, although in practice all inverters maintain voltage regulation and stop supplying power if the load is inadequate. Grid operators have the option of curtailing excess generation from large systems, although this is more commonly done with wind power than solar power, and results in a substantial loss of revenue. Inverters have the unique option of supplying reactive power which can be advantageous in matching load requirements. |

Green and Renewable Peer Discussion Topics
In discussions with other Peers involved in the Construction Industry about the building and remodeling of homes and business in the St Louis Area. I keep a mental log of the conversations and what I noticed was a re-occurring theme in something we all did agree on ( and it didn't matter if I was speaking to a Democrat, Republican, Independent- Young or Old).
They all agree that:
Which always leads me to ask:
A new re-occurring theme appeared and they asked these three main questions: Is it affordable-Aren't they expensive to install? Is Solar Reliable?
Zero $00.00 Down Solar Lease
Installation Is Covered
20+ Year Guaranty
They all agree that:
- Material prices have skyrocketed in the past few years.
- A Building shouldn't be drafty and have air leaks.
- Heat and Cool Buildings Efficiently and Afford-ably.
Material Prices (using a simple 2x4x10 Wall Framing Stud as an Example)-
- Supply and Demand is Driving the Material Costs Higher. World Wide Population growth coupled with what seems like some form of Natural Disaster Somewhere in the World every Month or Two. It doesn't matter if the home or business was destroyed by the Flood, Hurricane, Tornado, Tsunami, or whatever it was. The End Results are the Same: Cities and Towns left Completely in Ruins. And we simply can't get trees to grow as fast as whats needed to rebuild the damage.
Air Leaks and Drafty Homes
- Whether its your home or office: Everyone wants to be comfortable. With the Advent of the different types of Air and Vapor Barriers, Insulation, Advanced Framing Techniques, Windows, and Doors. (As Required by current building codes) Buildings are now constructed and or remodeled using progressive building techniques that eliminate over 90% of these Air Leaks.
Heat and Cool Buildings Efficiently and Affordably
- We've came along ways in providing heat for the home over the years. Long past is the time we spent sitting around the campfire for warmth. Our warmth in the winter and cold air in the summer; now comes from the switch on the wall. (I enjoy the modern convenience of a climate controlled room.) And any business owner will state that their employees productivity is greater when the staff isn't too hot or cold. In times long since past the costs for turning up or town the temp didn't make too big of a bill at the end of the month. Nowadays it seems that every notch on the dial leads to higher bills at months end.
Its obvious to me that: Green and Sustainable Buildings is the Answer for today's Construction Needs. I would venture to say that 90% of today's builders and re-modelers (worth their Salt) adhere to Energy Efficient Building Guidelines.
Which always leads me to ask:
"What is wrong with making your own Electricity?"
Zero $00.00 Down Solar Lease
- I then start telling them about the: Zero Down Solar Lease, which makes solar affordable on most every budget. (for every home I have figured- Solar either eliminates or cuts the Electricity Bill in half.) What could be better than a Non-Polluting Solar Electric System that generates its own electricity for less than your current Ameren UE Utility Bill?
Installation Is Covered
- With the $00.00 Down Solar Lease- Any Permits, Inspections, Installation, and Maintenance is included in the Solar Lease.
That means that you will not have to come out of pocket for a Dime to install a Solar System at your Home or Business. Installation and Maintenance is covered in the Solar Lease
20+ Year Guaranty
- The various Solar Systems I sell, lease, and install all have guaranties for 20+ years. These warranties come from Field Tested Systems; where the electrical output is so predictable that the "Yearly" electrical outputs are guaranteed as well. As long as the sun is shining they will produce electricity for your home for many many years into the Future. And Unlike the rising costs of electricity- an Owner of a Solar system costs decrease as the Solar System pays for itself.
It will decrease your High Energy Bills leaving more $Money$ for you and your household. And it will last 20+ years and still produce electricity in its old age. What is there not to like about a Free Solar Lease System? - as always Scotts Contracting provides a Free Estimate for any job. What have you got to lose? Use the contact info below to contact Scotty for a "Free Solar Lease Quote".I can't spell it out any clearer. Solar is Affordable Now.

Missouri- court upholds renewable energy rules
Missouri court upholds renewable energy rules [St. Louis Post-Dispatch]
By Jeffrey Tomich, St. Louis Post-Dispatch McClatchy-Tribune Information Services
Nov.
20--A Missouri appeals court on Tuesday upheld Public Service
Commission rules outlining how the state's renewable energy law is
implemented.
The
opinion from the Western District Court of Appeals reverses a lower
court order concerning the impact of the green power mandate on electric
rates. Earlier this year, a Cole County Circuit Court judge had
declared the rules "unlawful and unreasonable" and remanded the matter
back to the PSC.
Tuesday's
court decision is a victory both for the PSC, which spent months
developing the rules, and renewable energy advocates, who filed a brief
on the commission's behalf.
Henry
Robertson, a lawyer representing Renew Missouri, said the lower court
ruling could have had a "crippling effect" on efforts to advance green
power in the state if it had been upheld.
Missouri
voters approved the state's renewable energy standard by a 2-1 ratio in
2008. The law requires Ameren and other for-profit utilities to
gradually increase the use of renewable energy through 2021, when 15
percent of their power must come from wind, sun and other renewable
resources.
The
law says the use of renewable energy cannot cause electric rates to
rise more than 1 percent from what they would be otherwise. The rate cap
provision in the rules was at the heart of the legal battle.
The
PSC rules require utilities to use a 10-year average when calculating
the 1 percent rate impact to allow for higher upfront costs. Utilities
argued for a narrower definition of how rates are affected.
Tuesday's
court decision is the latest chapter in a long-standing battle over how
for-profit utilities in Missouri must add renewable energy to their
generating portfolios. And it may not be over yet.
Ameren
Missouri and other utilities that challenged the PSC rules may seek a
rehearing or try to get the state Supreme Court to take up the case.
An
official with Missouri Energy Development Association, the utility
lobby in the state, wasn't available Tuesday afternoon. An Ameren
Missouri spokeswoman said the utility had no immediate comment and said
the utility was still reviewing the court opinion.
