For Sale ...
Silicon Solar Panels or Modules

Standard Monocrystalline / Polycrystalline Silicon panels.
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
sharp 175 watt monocrystalline 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
ni-fe battery

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.

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.
