| Description: |
This 1 kW solar energy project, installed at the
Vancouver Water Resources Education Center is tied directly into the
electrical system and provides clean, renewable energy. It’s also an
educational opportunity for students and the community to learn more
about solar energy as a viable source of power for our future. An added
benefit is the fact that the solar panels are manufactured locally from
silicone crystals grown by Shell in Vancouver, Washington.
The project consists of a six-panel solar array. The panels are Sharp
NE-170U1, 170 watt modules. The inverter is a SMA Sunny Boy 1800 with
RS 485 communication card.
