WISE POWER SYSTEMS PARTNERSHIP TO HELP BOOST USE
OF SOLAR ENERGY

Wilmington, DE–To help Ontario, Canada continue to move its green economy forward, Wise Power Systems, a Wilmington, DE-based green energy company, is partnering with Grape Solar to manufacture and market pre-assembled ready to install solar power PV kits in Ontario. Wise will use the PV solar panels manufactured by Grape Solar in the design and engineering of the complete pre-assembled kits.
“Ontario’s 2009 Green Energy Act has sparked the rising demand for solar powered energy by making it environmentally and economically beneficial to install renewable energy systems”, said Bill Rawheiser, president, Wise Power Systems. “Easy access to solar energy is the key. The pre-engineered PV solar panel kits with Grape panels are complete systems, allowing

Ontarians who choose to power their homes and businesses with renewable energy sources can do so more easily, confidently, and efficiently. This means they will more quickly be able to contribute to a cleaner environment and make money.”
Provisions of the Green Energy Act ensure that those who have solar systems will be paid a guaranteed price for all the electricity they produce for at least 20 years, making clean energy a profit-making enterprise.

Further, using the pre-manufactured 10 kW or 250 kW kits greatly reduces the time it takes for installation, making it possible to have a residential solar system installed in as little as a day and larger systems in a matter of weeks.

The pre-assembled solar PV kits will deliver a return on investment in about five years, depending on the amount of energy used. “For systems up to 10 kW, the contract with the Ontario Power Authority guarantees a payout of 80.2 cents per kilowatt hour (kWh)a year for 20 years. So if you use 12,000 kWh a year, you would earn up to $10,000 annually,” said Wise.

The pre-assembled kit expedites installation by breaking down the process into four easy steps: install the Wise mounting system, place the pre-assembled panel modules to create the array, run the conduit wire to the pre wired inverters, then have an electrician run wires from the “pre-installed revenue meter” to the electrical grid.

Locally-manufactured pre-engineered kits, which use Grape Solar’s PV solar panels, will be marketed to installers as well as directly to end-users in Ontario. All kits will include a step-by-step installation manual and video. “To provide technical help and support, we also will have a hotline and a web site,” said Wise.

What Is A Photovoltaic Solar Panel And How It Can Help You

You may have heard of a photovoltaic solar panel before, but most
people are unsure exactly what it is and how it can help them. This
is important to know no matter where you live. The people of
Wilmington, DE are being smart and taking time to find out what
this is and how it can help them. There are many things it can do
for your home, business and bank account.

Let’s start with what this solar panel is. It is a panel that was
designed to generate electricity using a phenomenon which is known
as photovoltaic effect. This happens when certain materials produce
electric currents when they are exposed to the light of the sun.
The panel is basically a large series of semiconductor PN junctions.

Understanding how this panel works is a subject for now that you
will need to research more on your own. Now you need to know the
main ways that it can help.

1. Saves money – When you use solar energy to power your
home or business, this solar panel will help to save money because you will get all of the energy needed from the sun. The money that will need to
be spent is to get a good solar system installed. Once it is
installed, it is free to use because no one can charge you for
using a natural resource that is everywhere.

2. Provides sufficient energy for any home or business, no matter how large or small.

Now that you know what a photovoltaic solar panel is and how it can
help you, it is time to decide if this is something that is right
for your home or business. Do more research to make a more informed decision, but don’t delay because every minute you delay is costing you money that doesn’t need to be spent for energy.
