Overview
Four 64 Watt panels and one 75 Watt panel connect to a battery bank and are used to power this business and charge buggy batteries. This totally off-the-grid business also has 12V DC lighting and even a 12V DC washing machine which both get their power from the photovoltaics.
Two more 10 watt panels with batteries power lights that illuminate a small sign at night. Most of the lighting inside the building is provided by large sun-tubes in the roof which direct outside light into the work area. An Exceltech true sine wave inverter provides 120V AC power to enable electronic equipment like cash registers and phones without relying on grid power. The store also has some 12V DC lighting and even a 12V DC washing machine that both get their power from the photovoltaics.
Levi sells a variety of solar and battery equipment, including energy efficient skylight systems that direct and diffuse natural light deep within a building.
