  Our Installations  
       
  Gillcrist Residence - That Solar Guy is proud to present the installation of (16) Canadian Solar 250 watt mono-crystalline modules feeding a SMA 4000 watt inverter. The house is within 10 mies of the Pacific Ocean so there's no air conditioning. This 4000 watt system should come pretty close to eliminating the family's current consumption.   Chen Residence - In this video That Solar Guy takes you along on a recent installation we did. Check out this (36) SunPower 230's installation using Enphase 210 inverters.  
         
         
  Sun Residence - Here's a few of the major steps along the solar installation path. This was a text book job of two arrays on different pitches. The inverter is feed from two strings of 11 modules. We hope you find the video informational as well as entertaining.
