Solar Supplies Comprehensive List HERE List without Mfg HERE Comment: Of these, the leaders in the US include BP, Sharp Solar (nice panels that come in shapes to conform to rooflines), Mitsubishi, Siemens, First Solar, Kyocera, and GE. Inverters Learn How It Works HERE List of Inverter Manufacturers Comment: The Inverter is the part that converts the DC from your panels to useable AC. Look through the list for Grid Tied inverters. Installers usually suggest a particular preferred brand in their installations. Installers List of Installers by Zip Code HERE Comment: This website that lists who installed what and where in the SCV. Advanced Solar appears to be one of the more popular choices here. You can go to the home page and type in other zip codes as well. It isn't perfect (some of their grid tied provider listings are wrong) but it is very helpful. If you click on the company names it links to a fairly complete list for that installer--prices, location, panels used, and inverters used. |

WIND POWER
One industry leader: Bergey Windpower Comment: Though in its infancy for home installation, there are companies developing products for smaller installations. Wind Turbines would be working quite well today! |
