Selbyville Business Moves to Solar Power for Stabilizing Energy Costs

Selbyville, De - 2009-11-11

This Selbyville business was interested in reducing his energy bills.  His manufacturing business operates using compressors and other equipment that is completely reliant on fossil generated energy supplied by the power company. 

With historical data that shows an annual 11% average inflationary rate on electric power in this region there were real concerns over what his energy bills would be in a couple of years.  Not to mention that at anytime the rates could be increased even higher than than what we have seen. 

He was convinced that lowering his reliance on fossil fuel and stabilizing his operating costs now - for power in the future, - would be a smart business decision.  He had heard from some local businesses that there were state and federal incentives in place that made purchasing a system affordable however everyone seemed to have a different take on what incentives were out there and what the status was on funding.  More so, how do you even get it?

So he called Flexera to investigate what he could do to reach this goal.

The Flexera team met with the owner and completed a thorough energy analysis to determine what opportunities were available for his specific energy needs.  After a lot of research and review it was determined that his facility would benefit the most from a self ballasted system that leverages photovoltaic energy reflected from the surface of the roof.  The custom design enabled him to maximize his watts per square foot and give him the return on investment that met his expectations.

In addition, Flexera handled all grant forms and processing, signed him up to manage and sell his Solar Renewable Energy Credits (often referred to as Certificates) and generated detailed cash flow projections.

The system is designed to produce an expected average monthly output of 3239 kWh's from the 180 solar panels installed.

Commercial Solar Panels Drive Down Energy Costs for Lewes, DE Business

Lewes, DE - 2009-10-19

This Glass Manufacturer installed new equipment to increase their manaufacturing capacity and product line.  With the improvements came additional power expenses so they looked at clean, renewable solar power as a possible solution.

Flexera did a complete study of their energy history to determine what size solar power system might be needed to drive down costs to a feasible level.

Flexera then analyzed the roof structure for load capacity and available direct sun exposure to determine where panels should be placed to maximize productivity.

Flexera Solar Designers also evaluated some shading issues which could have reduced output then worked with the client to position panels to avoid the shade.  In doing so Flexera helped the client avoid the additional cost of micro-inverters. 

Why avoid micro-inverters on this job?  Micro-inverters have their place.  Micro-inverters allow each panel to operate independantly of eachother which helps the entire system in cases where shading cannot be avoided.  they also improve to some degree efficiency.  However they are costly and for most installations unecessary.  Also, by adding 40 micro-inverters to the system you increase the number of necessary components to operate the system.  In turn this increases the probability of service calls.

This particular system did not really need them to gain the necessary output and it was decided by the client not to use them. 

Flexera designers avoided using micro-inverters on this system by simply performing a digital scan of annual shading to isolate areas in question of shade.   The Flexera installers then placed panels far out of range of any shade areas eliminating the need for the additional cost.

Flexera has a solid reputation for evaluating your complete energy situation before offering solutions.  Flexera Designers specialize in researching every possible means for getting customers the most for their investment. 

This situation is a good example of how design expertise and understanding saved the client money.  

Flexera has heard many stories regarding consumers who are sold out-of-the-box solutions from inexperienced providers.  What most do not know is that solar power systems are not all alike and that each owner has a unique energy situation that requires individual assessment.  

Flexera is committed to the highest level of service and performance and promises only the best systems at the most affordable prices.

Dewey Beach Home Looks Sharp and Works the Right Angles with Sharp 142 and Sharp 72 Watt Solar Panels

Dewey Beach, De - 2009-10-10

This Dewey Beach, Delaware homeowner decided that with the current solar energy incentives and the rising cost of energy now would be a great time to put an energy plan into play.

After researching several companies a decision was made to go with Flexera. 

The Flexera team took a close look at his energy bills, roof lines, solar facing, pitch, grants and a long list of other site characteristics and came up with a dual array.

The first system utilizes the most south facing roof which happened to be in the shape of a triangle.  Using Sharp panels which also has angled panels to fish off edges we were able to foloww the triangular roofline to not only maximize the number of watts per square foot but to make the array as aesthetically pleasing as possible. 

We were also able to place 8 Sharp 142 Watt panels on the Southwest roof to generate more power.  Both have a sleek black on black color tone that makes them very pleasing to the eye and does not detract from the roof's visual integrity.

In the end the owner has a system that is going to look good, work well and generate about 4814 kilowatt hours per year.

Micro-inverters at Work for this Harbeson, Delaware Home

Harbeson, De - 2009-10-10

This Harbeson, Delaware homeowner wanted solar to cut down on their energy bills and help save the environment from harmful carbon emissons. 

Their wooded lot posed some challenges for solar efficiency however Flexera was able to determine exact locations impacted by shading with a shading study. 
By carefully calculating shade patterns throughout the year Flexera was able to place panels in unobstructed areas for higher productivity.

As an extra precaution, the homeowner opted to move to a solar panel array managed by micro-inverters.  This allows each panel to operate independantly from the others.  In the event a tree grows enough to shade a small portion of the array, the system would experience minimal production impact.

The Enlighten monitoring system which comes with the system will also indicate any performance issues due to shade or any other factors so they can be remedied quickly.

Solar Hot Water is a Good Investment!

Rehoboth, DE - 2008-09-06

When this owner realized that up to 35% of their energy expenses were attributed to their hot water heating it was an easy decision where they would start with a renewable energy system.

With the installation of 3 Gobi solar hot water collectors this homeowner will realize a savings of approximately $1008 a year (depending on hot water use).  The panels were split among 2 separate systems to heat water in different parts of the house.  This was decidedly the best way for them to optimize their investment and reduce energy expenses attributed to their hot water needs.  If the cost for electricity rises they may see even bigger savings.

Solar hot water is not usually the first place folks look for cutting down on energy costs, but when we investigate their power use we often find that potential energy savings on hot water is substantial.  The systems also pay themselves off in a very short period of time too.

Power Between the Vents!

Rehoboth, DE - 2008-08-20

This is a great example of how innovative engineering and system design can get homeowners the power they need to realize the benefits of an onsite renewable energy source. 

We met the challenge of the broken roof lines and multiple obstructions by separating the solar strings onto various locations to optimize size and performance from a photovoltaic solution. 

We adapted the setup by breaking the array into 3 different subsets to avoid 2 vent pipes, an air duct and an extended roof line.  We recovered as much usable roof space as possible and in doing so we were able to fit (30) 200Watt GE PV Panels to give this homowner 762 kilowatt hours a month.
