This 4.2 KW Silicon Energy array is composed of 24 Silicon Energy 175 watt modules and a 4.2 watt Silicon Energy inverter. This inverter comes from the manufacturer mounted on a 44″ wide X 35″ tall panel with DC and AC disconnects and a production meter already attached. This combination of made in WA solar equipment qualifies for a 54 cent per KWH state production incentive.

Ann and Bob pose with their 4.08 KW Silicon Energy array mounted on a brand new standing seam metal roof. The result is a very sleek array with no roof penetrations. Note the solar clothes dryer in operation on the deck (fancy name for a clothes line). When combined with the 4.05 KW SunPower array on their shop, the Sextros will be spinning their PUD meter backwards a lot! The solar array will double as a gas station for their new Nissan Leaf all electric vehicle set to arrive in early 2011.
