Photos From Installations

These are photos of houses in Connecticut that I installed PV grid-tied systems on.

• Capable of designing photovoltaic systems of any size.
• Designed and installed systems as large as 36kw.

Residential Projects I Managed As Lead Installer:

7KW.  Torrington, CT

5 KW.  Newington, CT

7 KW.  Oxford, CT

Dual Axis Tracking Pole Mount.  Coventry, CT

Commercial Projects That I Managed As Lead Installer / System Designer:

30 KW. John Dorr Nature Center, Washington Depot CT

36 KW.  Saybrook Point Inn, Old Saybrook CT

I've worked on a ton of projects, but these are a few of my favorites.

I am also Sunpower and OSHA-10 Certified.

Flashing and Roof Penetration

This is a classic photograph on a brisk winter morning, of what a flashing looks like when it's properly installed on a roof.  Note how the shingle is cut at the right point, and the rubber gasket fits all the way around the LB pullpoint.

Also, you might notice how there's wire that is suspended, coming out of it.  Those wires are held above the roof surface using zipties and tension on the groundwire.  The code violation here is the tension being placed on the grounding conductor.  The alternative?  None was ever offered, and none was given.  It might have been considered OK if we used a different wire to hang the other wires by its tension.  As long as that particular wire wasn't a conductor of any kind.  But that would just seem a bit odd, considering that we were already under certain time constraints, and it would also be a questionable use of additional copper.

Room Full Of Inverters

Each of these inverters is equally spaced with enough distance for their fans to work.  At least, as spaced as possible with the dimensions of the room.

The room used to be the servant's closet in the top floor of the Saybrook Point Inn.  There's really no indication to anyone where this room actually is, although there should be a map to it somewhere.  Luckily, Nick the Super is a superhuman being.







additional information
There's 3 inverters on the left wall, each feeding 24 x 305w SPR modules facing east, totalling 72.
Then there are 2 inverters directly in front, which feed 24 x 305w SPR facing west (48 panels).
Finally there's a 6th inverter on the wall facing, which has a single 24-panel array, same panel.

1. What's the total number of panels on that installation? 
2. What's the VOC rating with temperature adjusted for -24°c?
