New Systems

LEFT: Prototype Tensioned Cable Solar Panel Mounting Systems - Findlay, OH and Port Angeles, WA

ABOVE: Cables v. Rails
(Low Cost & Green v. ???)

THIS SITE WILL BE UNDER RECONSTRUCTION IN FALL 2010...

We are developing a new solar panel mounting system - TCSPMS - using tensioned cables for roof and ground mount applications. For further information, READ our latest RE News (Fall 2010)

COME BACK AND VISIT. THANKS.

Anchor: Threaded Landscape Stake or buried Ecology Block
Stanchion: Engineered Treated Wood Fram Structure (w/ 4x4T lumber)
PV Cable: 1/4 inch diameter or larger galvanized or stainless steel wire rope (cable)
Dual Opposing Catenary (DOC) Cable: 1/4 inch diameter wire rope (OES developed concept)
Cross Cable: Wire rope (cable) or turnbuckles - forms the opposing catenary
Hold Down Cable: 1/4 inch diameter galvanized or stainless steel wire rope (cable)
Tensioner: Turnbuckle or Lift Tensioner (OES developed under patent) or other
Mid-Clamp: COTS hardware (bolt, nuts, and washers)
End-Clamp: COTS hardware (bolts, nuts, washers, and springs)
PV Panel: Framed crystalline or thin film PV panel (future design will use flexible thin film)

Professor Tim Murphy and his student built the first ground mount prototype in Findlay, Ohio. The University of Findlay is pursuing sustinability programs and the greening of campus.

Jonathan Clemens of Olympic Energy Systems.

The ground mount system is now available for installation of solar electric systems at the lowest unsubsidized price anywhere in the United States, as the cost of the system is the lowest to date. Installation costs approach $4 per watt, which allows a positive Present Worth...and a positive pay back, without incentives or subsidies beyond the 30% Federal Tax Credit.

A negotiated price for this green energy, via a Power Purchase Agreement, can allow a positive return on investment without any incentives or subsidies.
