About the Equipment We Sell
Solar Panels
Technically called photovoltaics (PV), solar panels absorb the sun's rays. PVs are made of silicon, a non-metallic semiconductor, and use the photons — or the light particles from the sun's rays — to knock off electrons that form an electric current.
PVs come in several sizes and types. As we work with you on your solar panel system, we'll learn all about your house, location, budget, and electricity use to help determine the right PV array for your home.
We equip PVs from the nation's top suppliers, including LG, QCells, Solaria, and Silfab Solar.
Solar Inverters
Solar inverters convert DC (direct current) electricity into AC (alternative current) electricity. Homes and businesses can only use AC to power appliances, lights, and outlets.
Solar inverters come in several types, including straight string inverters, optimized string inverters, microinverters, and hybrid inverters. Each functions a little differently, and solar inverters can cost anywhere from $1,500 to $20,000. We will work with you to determine the right kind of inverter for your solar array.
Our partners sell many different kinds of inverters from top brands such as Sungrow, SolarEdge, Enphase, and QCells.
Solar Racking
Sometimes called solar panel mounts, solar racking fastens to a foundation and holds your solar array in place. In most residential facilities, solar racking attaches to the roof. Sometimes, though, the racks attach to the ground or another surface.
Your solar array needs the right kind of rack to hold it in place on your roof or other location. If your roof is flat, for example, you may need tilt legs to fix your panels at the optimum angle to catch the sun. Or if you can't penetrate your roof with drills and screws, you may need ballasted (zero penetration) roof mounts as part of your roof rack.
Our partners offer a variety of racking paraphernalia including L-feet, flashings, direct attachments, mounting rails, module kits, and rail splice kits. Brands include Ironridge, Unirac, K2 Systems, and ProSolar.
Solar Batteries
Solar batteries hold the charge generated by the solar panels. Not every solar array includes solar batteries. In fact, most of them don't.
In a typical array, you use the energy you generate as you make it or soon thereafter. For off-grid arrays, however, you may need deep cycle solar batteries to hold your electricity. This stored power will keep your system working when your panels don't produce electricity, like at night or on an overcast day.
Solar batteries come in several different types, including lithium, sealed AGM, flooded lead acid, and sealed gel cell. Each kind of solar battery offers a unique set of benefits and drawbacks. If you need solar batteries for your home's array, we can help you select the right battery from a reliable brand at an affordable price.
Our partners stock batteries from Panasonic, Enphase, Simpliphi, and Generac PWRcell.
Charge Controllers
Controllers do what they are; they "control" the amount of charge in a solar battery so it doesn't become overcharged.
Solar panels can easily short circuit. The controllers close the circuit after a preset voltage is reached. Most controllers are sized to the system they help protect.
You only need a solar charge controller if you have solar batteries.
Our suppliers offer several charge controllers in different sizes and voltages and with different features. They stock products from brands such as OutBack and MidNite.
Solar Monitoring
If your solar panels stop working, no alarm alerts you that there's trouble overhead. Without a monitor, you might never know that your array wasn't producing electricity like it should.
Solar monitors offer real-time snapshots of your array's energy production. These devices can flag the panel that may be underperforming, track your system's performance over time, troubleshoot problems, and even update you on your financial savings through solar. Solar monitors usually sit on each panel or alongside the inverter.
CED Greentech provides an array of solar monitoring devices from brands like Enphase, SolarEdge, Tigo, and SMA.
Installation Supplies
Setting up a solar array requires a variety of tools, including disconnect switches, retention clips, cable clips, wires, combiners, and surge protectors.
Our partners purchase all these devices from top manufacturers in the solar industry. Their extensive inventory of supplies allows us to bring you the very best equipment, tools, and service for your solar system.
