WCP Solar was contracted to design and construct a residential roof mounted solar system located in Barrington, Illinois. This grid connected system ties directly into the Commonwealth Edison Utility’s (ComEd) power grid and generates enough electricity to provide power to more than 75% of the home electrical needs.
The project was sized at 7.20-kWp1, using 90 CdTe Thin Film frameless photovoltaic panels rated at 85-W mounted on a 25 degree tilted roof. The system also employs 1 SMA6000TL-Kw AC rated string inverter to convert the DC energy produced by the solar System into AC energy.1 Estimated production of over 242 Tons of CO2 - Equivalent to Planting over 5639 trees or driving reduced by 484,000 auto miles, or 24,684 gallons of gasoline.
