1 When Solar Energy is your Home Energy Solution. The Canadian Solar Energy Guide 2008

2 Solar Systems for Homes In Canada Welcome to Home Energy Solutions! Home Energy Solutions understands how to use solar power in homes. Our founder, Dave Egles, also founded Soltek Solar. Since 1988 he has dedicated his career to helping Canadians use solar energy to power appliances in homes, to operate lighthouses on remote coastlines, to provide telephone service to remote communities, and more recently to help Canadians supplement the electricity grid with green energy. David uses solar in his own home, started the Solar for Schools program in BC, and is the current President of CanSIA, the Canadian Solar Industries Association. Home Energy is a new company whose staff share a common goal: To help Canadians put as much solar to work on roofs as possible Home Energy has warehouses strategically located to service all of Canada, a large selection of the best quality and latest PV technology products, and skilled staff to help. We hope to help Canada transition towards a renewable energy supply. Home Energy is a uniquely Canadian owned and operated and our staff have years of PV experience.

8 S o l a r M o d u l e s Solar Modules by Sharp Sharp is the leading global brand of solar panels. For battery charging applications, there are Sharp products in 12 and 24V, and sizes from 80 to 175 watts. For larger off-grid systems, and grid tie systems, the 187 OnEnergy panels are ideal for MPPT controllers, or high voltage inverters. Sharp modules feature some of the strongest frames in the industry, tempered solar glass and high efficiency mono or poly cells. as well as 25 year power output warranty and Canadian 1703 cul approvals.

10 T e c h T a l k You have Questions? 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 ft 2 ), 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. 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 % 25% 2 kilowatt % 50% 5 kilowatt % 125% 10 kilowatt % 250% 10

11 T e c h T a l k We have Answers. 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 sinewave (cheaper) or sinewave (cleaner). Other features to compare are charger size, efficiency and warranty. Solar Array Inverter 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. 11

12 P o w e r P a n e l s Outback Power Panels Larger 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. Outback Power Panels include: DC disconnects for battery cables AC bypass and disconnect fully wired Mate remote Crated for site delivery 10 Inverter battery cables & conduit Comunications hub Model DC Voltage Total Output Charger Dimensions FW500-VFX3524x2 24 VDC 7.0 kw V 20.5 x 46.3 FW500-VFX3648x2 48 VDC 7.2 kw 90 48V 20.5 x 46.3 FW1000-VFX3648x4 48 VDC 14.4 kw V 40.6 x 46.3 Accessories X /240VAC Auto Transformer, Installed to balance loads or Generator MX-60-Add LA-Add CSA-Add 60 amp Solar Array charge controller Installed with Disconect AC + DC Lightning Protection Installed CSA approval on Final Assembly 12

13 P o w e r P a n e l s E-Panels and Inverter Installation Accessories Inverters 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. We offer installers a choice: Buy all the parts and do the assembly, or buy a completed package, ready for installation.

17 Charge Controllers Maximum Power Point Tracking R e g u l a t o r s The 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.
