- Healthcare – Rural/remote clinics, for medicine refrigeration
- Military – Domestic bases, foreign bases, combat zones
- Lodging and Resorts – Eco-lodges, green tourism
- Golf Courses – Irrigation, sprinklers, weather stations
- Residential, Cottage – Green lifestyle, off-grid locations
Advantages of Solar Power
There are many advantages to using solar electric power in remote, inaccessible or standalone applications:
Affordable
Off-grid solar electric systems are now price competitive with alternative energy sources, such as operating diesel generators or installing utility electricity, as measured by Dollars per kWh of energy generated.
Reliable
Unlike gas or diesel generators, or wind turbines, photovoltaic power systems have no moving parts and require little maintenance.
Flexible
Solar power systems can be designed in modules to meet specific requirements now. Add more capacity later with no equipment replacement as loads increase.
