Aart's Solar Power Page

[SOLAR] The top picture shows Aart's personal experiment with solar power: one ICP Solar Technologies BatterySAVER SE 18W panel and one 6W panel are linked together to feed a Xantrex XPower Powerpack 400 Plus. A 5.5mm OD x 2.5mm plug has been connected to the ICP plug-and-play cable, so that the power pack's internal charge regulation circuitry can be used. One sunny summer day suffices to recharge an empty power pack to 100%. The little white solar panel on top charges the motion sensor light on the right.

Inspired by this free and environmently friendly energy, Renu and Aart decided to get a professional roof mounted solar system installed. The two pictures below show their 2.1KW system (12 x 175 Watt BP photovoltaic modules) with a Sunny Boy inverter. The system is connected to the PG&E grid, so that any surplus power can be sold back for an energy credit.
