Q. How much energy can I gather with a solar electric system?

a. In most of Canada, a kilowatt (1000 watts) of solar panels (area of 6-9 ft2), mounted with good exposure facing south, could generate between 1000 and 1400 kilowatt hours (kWh) of electricity per year. The map below shows how this varies around Canada.

you have Questions?Q. What happens in winter?

a. Solar energy does vary throughout the year. The graph below is for Vancouver. Many full off-grid homes have a generator as backup for the winter. Some systems are designed with larger battery banks to help in the winter months. Grid connected systems use the utility as a backup.

Q. Explain Grid-Tie to me. What can I expect?

a. Grid-tie solar systems are used for homes in the city. A solar system mounted on the roof can produce some or most of the electricity consumed in the home. Most Canadian houses use between 5,000 kWh (very efficient) and 13,000 kWh (not very efficient) per year. Solar systems can reduce electrical consumption by the following amount:

array Size kWh/year % typical electrical load

1 kilowatt 1250 12% – 25%

2 kilowatt 2500 24% – 50%

5 kilowatt 6250 55% – 125%

10 kilowatt 12500 100% – 250%

w w w . h e s h o m e e n e r g y . c o m11

t e C h � t a l K


Q. How does a Grid-Tie System work?

a. See the cross section of a house with solar grid-tie system. There are two basic components:

Solar array: One to ten kilowatts of solar panels, typically mounted on unused south facing roof space.

Inverter: Converts solar energy (DC) to match utility power. This box is usually located near your electrical panel.

Q. What happens during a power failure?

a. Grid-tie systems safely disconnect in the event of a power failure. We offer the option of a Secure Source battery backup that would run some selected loads like pumps or lighting in the event of a blackout.

Q. Explain Off-Grid Solar Systems to me. What could it do for me?

a. Solar can be used to provide the majority or all of the power in a remote cottage or home. Ideally, the solar system is designed by a professional to match your lifestyle and electrical loads. The systems are modular so they can grow as your power needs change.

Off-grid solar systems have storage batteries, and often have generators for backup. The inverter systems for off-grid application have built-in battery chargers, and can even be used to start the generator automatically if needed.

Q. What do I need to know about Inverters?

a. Most inverters used in off-grid homes connect directly to the AC load centre, and therefore energize to whole house.

Inverter output is either modified sine-wave (cheaper) or sinewave (cleaner). Other features to compare are charger size, efficiency and warranty.

Q. What do I need to know about Batteries?

a. Batteries are your gas tanks. Deep cycle batteries are needed for off-grid solar systems as they can handle deeper discharges better. Flooded cells offer the best value. 6V batteries like the Surrette S-460 are very popular for smaller systems, and larger, industrial 2V cells are used when more capacity and life are needed. Bigger, heavier duty batteries will last longer – and you usually get what you pay for.

We have answers.

outback power panelsLarger off-grid solar systems often combine generators, batteries and inverter systems. The Outback Power Panels are fully integrated systems that parallel the output of multiple inverters for more power and charging. Common configurations use 2 or 4 inverters for 7 or 14 kW of inverter capacity. This allows dual 120/240V input/output, and the combined pass-through of full generator power up to 60 amps per inverter.

Outback Power Panels include full AC and DC protection, with circuit breakers for each DC battery cable. Additional slots are available for solar input breakers and knockouts are provide for easy installation of the MX-60 MPPT solar controllers. The AC portion has a bypass switch, and connection points for generator feed and inverter output.

e-panels and Inverter Installation accessoriesInverters are an essential component of most residential off-grid and backup power systems. A professional installation done to electrical code needs other components to complete the job: high current battery cables, DC and AC switches with overcurrent protection and conduit to complete the job.

E-Panels are an accessory that completes the installation of single Outback and Magnum inverters. They fit between the inverter and the wall, and form a tidy, compact package. With a hinged door holding the inverter, E-Panels provide easy access to wiring terminals, allowing the AC input, output and battery connections to be made on site. cETL approved for Canadian installations.

maximum power point trackingThe old school way was to use a relay to disconnect your solar panels from the batteries when they are charged. New school is to use Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) battery charge control. MPPT has two advantages: First it drives your solar array at its peak efficiency, delivering more power to your batteries than a standard on/off charge regulator. Second, it allows the use of a variety of high voltage panels to charge a battery bank. You can wire inputs up to 150 VDC to charge 12/24 or 48V batteries. This allows longer wire runs and small cables to be used.
