EarthSafe Solar Electric System - Shell Solar
Module
The heart of the
EarthSafe solar electric system is the Shell high-performance
modules. Only Shell Solar has
the patented PowerMax mono-crystalline cell. The surface
of the PowerMax cell has a pyramidal textured surface to
enable
more light absorption which delivers exceptional efficiency
even on cloudy days or in low light conditions.
In addition,
the transparent tempered glass cover ensures high impact
resistance and protection against hail, snow, ice and storms.
The corrosion-resistant
anodized aluminum frame provides superior cell protection
even under harsh weather conditions. The entire module
is backed
by a 25-year warranty and Shell Solar’ s 30 years
of experience in advanced mono-crystalline development.
The EarthSafe System
EarthSafe solar electric
systems have been pre-engineered by Shell Solar to provide
clean efficient solar energy matched
to the utilities power in voltage, frequency, and phase.
The EarthSafe line of products provides utility-grade power
which
allows consumers to feed energy, provided by the sun, back
into the electrical grid and run your meter backwards.
The system has four major components:
1) The Shell Solar
Modules
that collect the solar energy.
2) The universal
roof-mounting kit for installing on shingle, tile or flat
roofs,
for new construction, re-roofing or an existing roof.
Manufactured from stainless steel and aluminum, the mounting
kit
is
weatherproof
and suitable for all climates.
3) The Inverter
takes the DC (direct current) produced by the solar
cells and converts
it
into AC (alternating current) which is used
by your home appliances and your local power company.
The
inverter
comes
in an attractive
weather proof cabinet that can be mounted
inside the home or on an outside wall.
4) The standard wiring
and
disconnects
that tie the system into to your circuit breaker
box or electrical
panel.
