Solar panels for your home

Home in the prestigious Blackhawk community goes solar

Blackhawk Residence 
Danville, CA
Ground mount installation

Completed 1/2011
Installed by Go Simple Solar

System Details:

• 17.6 kW
• 72 solar panels
• 245 W mono Sunmodule™ solar panels
• 3 SMA inverters

System Overview:

• This project was very challenging with the multidirectional hill azimuth (from 90 degrees true to 150 degrees true) and the multiple slopes on the hill (from 20 to 35 degrees).
• The racking height was increased on the down-slope side of the hill to find the "sweet spot" of solar production by optimizing azimuth and tilt.
• All three arrays have a slightly different azimuth and tilt, providing good year round production.
• This was a turnkey project; all landscaping, engineering, surveying and construction was performed as part of the contract.
• The customer is ecstatic that this project is outperforming all estimated solar production calculations.

• The system provides 100% of the residential electrical needs including charging the Leaf to drive an average of 1,000 miles per month.

“The installation of the Sunkits system was seamless and the system has performed without a flaw since integration.  Generating all of the electricity for your residence and banking the extra watts with the Utility is the way to go.” – Kent Bullard

A single family residence in Southern California installs the largest residential solar system in the U.S.

• 150 kW
• 600 solar panels
• 250 W mono Sunmodule™ solar panels

System Overview:

• At the time of completion, this 150kW system was the
  largest solar system in any single-family residence in the United States.
• The owners of the new residential solar milestone system, who have requested anonymity, placed their installation on a craggy slope along their hilltop estate in Southern California, playfully omitting a block of six solar panels to accommodate a protruding boulder.
• The system also sets a new size record for SolarWorld’s increasingly popular Sunkits® solar systems.
• The new record-breaking system in Southern California – installed by SRC Inc., an electrical contractor based in Vista, Calif. – came from the Ramona, Calif., branch of Consolidated Electrical Distributors Inc.
