330-468-3957
Tour hours: 10 am to 4 pm
Description:
This is a stand-alone system with two 70 watt BP Solarex panels and two Trojan 105 batteries. The components for this brand-new system were almost all purchased locally: the inverter from Circuit City, the charge controller from Farm, Fleet and Dairy, the wire at Home Depot, the batteries at a local battery store, and the circuits and fuses from an are auto store. Jahn has shown that ordering expensive parts from a catalog or dealer is not the only way to use solar. With responsible care given to safety and code concerns, and expert help where needed, locally sourced components can be easier and cheaper to obtain.
