Solar Electric System Kits

We stock what we sell and ship most orders within 48 hours. We will match or beat most any sale price on any PV modules, Trojan batteries, and any other products we sell.

Photovoltaic systems naturally fit into the format of kits because they are modular. Once a price range is determined, a balance of components can quickly be chosen. Most users do not begin with an accurate value for load and then purchase a system to supply that load. Instead they begin with an affordable price range and need to know what they can power for their money. There is a load worksheet on page 74 for those of you who want to calculate your power requirements.

New England Solar Electric Inc. can make a system of any price or size and then put it into kit form to facilitate easy owner installation. At your option we can prewire DC load distribution equipment and charge controlling equipment. Then all you or your electrician would need to do is wire and mount the array outside, and wire the array to the charge control panel. Assemble the battery bank, hook up the prewired charge control panel and DC distribution panel (or inverter) and you're all powered up!

The following seven kits cover the full spectrum of sizes for most remote homes. Each kit is available in a basic model, an intermediate model, and an advanced model. You may chose which one meets your individual needs. The more expensive kits include more optional components and more prewired controls while maintaining the same power production. You may mix and match any options from one level to the other. Tell us what you want or ask our advice as to what you need, and we will promptly give a price quotation.

The following kits include BP Solar SX50, BP Solar SX75 or Shell Solar SP150 solar modules and Trojan T-105 batteries. We can custom design a kit with any components you may want. Call for more information and a quote.

Each listed kit or custom kit comes with complete directions and custom plans to be used by you or your electrician. We offer technical support before, during, and after the installation.

Each kit description on the following pages has the approximate output, for the Northeast, from the module array, and the approximate amount of electricity that can later be used from the charged batteries. This is given for an average daily condition. Weekend use only, of a camp or cottage, will mean heavier daily loads for two days, but five days to bring the batteries back to full charge.

PV/Gen Hybrid

We can make a PV/Gen hybrid that combines the best use of a generator for large AC loads and battery charging for short intervals and a photovoltaic system and inverter for all other loads. This generator back up with automatic transfer switching allows a PV system to be smaller (hence less expensive) and still meet load demands of no-sun periods. The PV inverter part of the system extends generator life and eliminates continuous noise.
