The cost of installing a solar electric system
has dropped 50% in the past decade. This dramatic savings
in system installation
is due in no small part to the efforts of Shell Solar.
With more the 300MW of solar power delivered to date, Shell
has
more experience than any other company in the industry.
And for good reason, unlike other solar cells, Shell’s
patented Powermax technology is extremely efficient even
in lower light
conditions (sunrise, sunset, cloud cover) allowing for
a greater system efficiency over a longer period of time.
The
timing to “Go Solar” has never been better,
with cash rebates from the CEC, combined with federal and state
investment tax credits, on site solar electricity production
is a sound investment that will pay for itself often within
5 years. And with Shell Solar’s 25 year module
warranty your investment will generate on going cash
savings for
years to come. All back by commitment and resources
of Shell. A worldwide
energy leader for over 100 years.
The operation of the system is simple and
involves no moving parts. There are 3 major components:
1)
The high performance
Powermax Shell Solar Module at 140kW and 150kW.
2)
Installation Roof Rack.
3) The SMA or Xantrex system
inverter which
coverts DC (direct current) from
the modules into AC (alternating current)
that is fed back into the utility grid. Each component
is certified by (UL) Underwriters Laboratories. The
Xantrex inverter web site is www.xantrex.com 
As
an extra added
benefit the roof mounted system will protect
the roof from inclement weather, reduce summer cooling
loads and
helps
prolong the life of the roof.
