ROCKS THAT MAKE ELECTRICITY n Photovoltaic (PV) solar cells are silicon-based solid-state semiconductor devices that convert light from the sun directly into electricity. n n n There are no moving parts and no external fuel is required. The phenomenon occurs when photons of light provide the electrons enough energy to create a current flow. The current produced is DC, which is then converted to AC via an inverter ("solar electric interface") for use in your building's current electrical system. ABC Solar Incorporated www. ABCsolar. com
How do you determine what size of solar system do you need? n n n Typical home can be run with a 3 KW solar system (1400 sq. ft. ) Typical Elementary School can be run with a 60 KW Solar System 1 KW = 150 k. Wh a month in production ABC Solar Incorporated www. ABCsolar. com
What are the Incentives? n California Energy Commission n $2. 80 per ac watt. $7, 000 for a 2. 5 Kilowatt AC Solar System Federal Tax Credit n n 30% after rebate fed tax credit (max $2000) $2, 000 for a 2. 5 Kilowatt AC Solar System $9000 In Total First Year Incentives ABC Solar Incorporated www.
