ÉSLCHS Solar Electric System
• 5760 Watt grid-tied solar electric system– 32 x 180 Watt Canadian Solar modules
• 12 modules at entrance to school• 20 modules in central area of school
– 32 x Enphase M190 208VAC micro inverters
• Enphase Enlighten per-module monitoring
• One inverter per module instead of one inverter per array of modules
• Advantages– Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) per module
maximizes output of system and limits effects of shading– Cost is less for smaller systems– Monitoring system– Allows for modular systems - Start small and add later!– 15 year warranty (Standard for string inverters is 10)
• Disadvantages– Higher cost for larger systems– Demand is high– Newer product; not as proven
System 1: Front Entrance
• 2160 Watt grid-tied solar electric system– 12 x 180 Watt Canadian Solar modules
• Modules at front entrance of school
– 12 x Enphase M190 208VAC micro inverters
• Enphase Enlighten per-module monitoring
System 2: North Array
• 3600 Watt grid-tied solar electric system– 20 x 180 Watt Canadian Solar modules
• Modules in central area of school
– 20 x Enphase M190 208VAC micro inverters
• Enphase Enlighten per-module monitoring
Lacombe Composite Eco-Vision Project
• Our Mission:
The purpose of Eco-Vision is to lower the impact of our school’s carbon footprint by making it a more ecologically friendly environment. Ultimately, we hope our actions will not only effect but also inspire our community to follow suit.
