Madrid Engineering Group, Inc. has just completed our 25kW Solar Installation!
The complete system is split over two sections of roof on two different buildings on the Madrid property. For the larger system on the rear building, (96) modules were used with (4) centralized SMA inverters. On the front building, (15) Solar World modules were placed with each of them having their own Enphase micro inverter. The decision to use micro inverters for the smaller area was done to maximize sunlight exposure per module in that area due to trees creating shade at different times of day. This hybrid system is state-of-the-art, using only the top brand names with the best ROI warranties offered in the solar industry.
Florida-based Solar Source (www.solarsource.net) was selected for the installation based on their experience as the largest and oldest solar contractor in the South Eastern United States. Solar Source Institute is their training arm and provided interns and training opportunities at Polk State College in the name of Madrid Engineering Group, Inc. as part of the project.
The system will eliminate over 40,456 pounds of CO2 every year. This is equivalent to a re-forestation of trees covering an area of 131,195 sf. or driving a vehicle over 48,540 miles, which represents the distance of traveling from Tampa Bay to Los Angeles 19.2 times!
