eIQ Energy Completes 50kW Installation of Parallel Solar Technology for
San Francisco Bay Area Big O Tires
Benefits seen in design simplification, long-term economics of 500-panel installation
SAN JOSE, Calif.
, May 12, 2010 – A new solar power installation at Big O Tires of Dublin, Calif.
, utilizes innovative
parallel wiring technology from eIQ Energy to cost-effectively connect a 50-kilowatt generating system.
The
installation supplies 75 percent of the facility s electrical needs.
The Dublin installation illustrates Parallel Solar s ability to integrate different types of solar panels - a combination
of cadmium telluride (CdTe) panels from First Solar and amorphous silicon (a-Si) panels from Signet Solar, as well
as crystalline silicon panels from CentroSolar.
All feed into a single Satcon 50-kW inverter.
This heterogeneous
approach allows array designers to leverage the strong points of each technology, so that the array can perform
well under varying combinations of temperatu
