Location: Deep Draw Road
Size: 1.15 kW Grid tied Photovoltaic system
Installed by: Installed by SimpleEnergyWorks a Solar Installation company based here in Cumberland county.
Grid Tied: Yes, and participating in the TVA green generation partners program
Production Estimates: View actual real time production (it will be live during daylight hours and it shows the complete history of energy production from the time the PV system began).
Description: This system was a demonstration system for the 2010 Cumberland Solar Energy Solar Home Tour. The system was designed to demonstrate how the racking, inverters and modules are placed on a shingled roof home. The system is designed using Enphase Microinverters (so the energy production can be tracked per module in real time) and with Yingle 230 watt modules.
