5.6KW PV Station
Carbon Negative with Chuck W.
We LOVE this install from New Mexico customer Chuck W! It’s not only a beautiful install, but Chuck was also able to maximize his roof space perfectly allowing him to reach carbon negative. We’re also excited that this is our first ever Install of the Month featuring SolarEdge’s HD Wave inverter. Its compact size fits just right on Chuck’s small structure.
Chuck has a 10kW Grid-Tied System including:
19 SolarWorld 295 watt silver mono panels
8 SolarWorld 340 watt black on black mono solar panels
8 SolarWorld 290 watt black on black mono solar panels
35 SolarEdge Power Optimizers
2 SolarEdge HD Wave 5kW Grid-Tied Inverters
IronRidge XR100 Roof Racking System
