Thames Solar Electric designs and installs PV [photovoltaic] solar systems with battery backed-up systems for Grid Tied
and Off Grid systems. We install systems on both residential and commercial buildings. Ken has been teaching
the PV installer certification classes for CoSEIA (Colorado Solar Industry Association), 2005 & 2006, and
an Advanced PV Class starting January 2008.
Photovoltaic [PV] solar systems are a good alternative energy source. The sun is a reliable source of energy,
and PV systems have access to that on a daily basis. PV systems fit on roofs, so they blend into neighborhoods very
easily, even in covenated developments.
Off Grid buildings should first be designed to use electricity efficiently, then the actual loads of the building are
used to size the solar array, instead of the square footage.
