Energy products from various sources Some based on current research at Microsec R&D (Energy Product Sellers are welcome to email us to post their products) For Sale ... Silicon Solar Panels or Modules We are offering Sharp brand
silicon solar panels in the 80-225 watt
ranges.
Prices including shipping to anywhere in Canada are available on request. Sharp 175 watt solar panel ![]() The Sharp 175 watt monocrystalline panels are $689 Canadian each. Discounts given for quanity orders ... please email. These are one of the most
popular panels for home systems. With an
estimated lifespan of 40 years they are a popular choice. Similar panels have been in continous operation since the 1960s. Costs including shipping will be estimated if you email us with your location and the number of panels. If you need 32 or more panels for a big job there are special industrial prices. Please email us for module prices and shipping charges. Other models are available in
the 198 watt and 225 watt
ranges. We
recommend the 175 watt model since it is both economical and high quality plus it is easy to handle. Panels larger than 175 watts are a bit too large for convenient installation. However they are available upon request. Panels are warehoused in British Columbia (Victoria and Vancouver) and Ontario (Barrie). If you live in these cities you can pick them up yourself. At this time for home and industry use we are recommending monocrystalline and polycrystalline silicon solar modules. These panels are guaranteed by Sharp for 20 years and are know in tests to operate for 40 years. Solar Panels using Thin Film Silicon This
new
photovoltaic technology are in production in 2010 by Sharp.
Prices are lower for these panels and they are only used for grid tie work. Their lifespan is expected to exceed twenty years but they are a new technology. We can bring these in for lab and special large scale projects on request.
Solar
Panels using CIGS
(Copper, Indium, Gallium and Selenium) thin film technology This new
photovoltaic technology is in production in 2009 and is
expected to
bring the price of photovoltaic systems to about 1/2 of the price of silicon based systems. These panels are ideally suited for megawatt installations but they are experimental at this stage. Their lifespan is unknown. However we can bring these in for lab and large scale projects on request. Nickel
Iron Batteries ... Edison's Durable
Storage Cell
![]() Shown
above is a 300 AH Nickel Iron Cell
We
are in the process of
testing the battery system which will be for
sale in Feb 2010. If you are interested in testing the early imports, please contact us. We will be offering 10 AH models for testing for $25 / unit currently. The ones we are importing for solar systems will be 200 AH 400 AH, 600 AH and 1000 AH @ 1.2 volts. This remarkable cell and battery design ran in the Detroit Electric Car which was sold in 1912 to 1918. One of these cars was bought by a Victoria BC woman and it was still in operation in 1997 on the original Ni-Fe battery. This is a chemistry that is greatly superior to the lead acid based batteries typically used in solar home installations. For environmental reasons we will only be offering nickel iron batteries in our store. The range of these cells are 100 to 1000 amp hour ranges. Each cell is 1.2 volts and so you will need 21 batteries for a 24 volt system or 11 batteries for a 12 volt system. Lead
acid batteries are
very heavy and it is estimated that 10 to 15% of
them are not recycled and lead to a poisoning of the environment. Thus we will only be carrying nickel iron batteries in our energy store. Hydrogen Fuel Cells ![]() ![]() To Purchase hydrogen fuel cell systems please visit ... http://www.agoenvironmental.com ![]() Solar
Generation of Hydrogen
We
are working on a
dockside generation system using solar panels mounted
on a boathouse to continuously build a supply of hydrogen for use on hydrogen powered boats. For these hydrogen based systems please contact ... http://www.agoenvironmental.com For
