A solar installation has been completed in Lacombe LA. It was recently completed as a 5.8 KW solar powered system that is a grid tie. It is a flex mounted system not a fixed mount system.

Wednesday, it produced 27,000 watts on this stationary track. But, the homeowner wants it to be more than that. The goal is (at least) 30,000 to 35,000 watts a day. That can be achieved by producing that with a tracking system. With the loss of what's happening on your panels, you may not be producing what you think.

Thursday it produced 21 KW on a mostly sunny day. That goes to prove that a stationary or fixed system does not give you exactly what it says. In other words, let's say you have a 5.8 KW system. If you produce 5800 watts with 5 hours of peak sunlight, that would be 29 KW per day, minimum. It should have produced more. To date, the max it has produced is 27 KW. It goes to show you that a system doesn't always produce that maximum wattage you should get.

In some cases, some solar systems that are installed are installed using a higher wattage so you can produce exactly what you say you can. The inverter can produce, per hour, 5000 watts. It's not supposed to produce any more than 5000 watts, 25000 watts a day. But it can produce more because you can get more hours of sunlight by tracking instead of a fixed system. This system will be a tracking unit and will produce more in the future.

By installing a solar powered system, you can reduce your electric bills and may eventually achieve a zero electric bill. Go Solar! Goodbye electric bill!
