"No Hassle" Solar Power means Cardinal Solar Capital will manage all required maintenance on the system.
- we install an on-line monitoring system
- so that we (and you) can monitor
system performance, and measure the electricity generation on a continuous basis.
- we provide periodic maintenance on the system:
-cleaning the solar panels (hosing them off)
-checking and tightening the electrical connections as
required.
Timing will vary depending on the location, but this is
typically done 2 to 3 times per year.
- there is also planned maintenance on the power inverter(s) -
which require replacement of a few components on about a 10 year interval.
"A cheaper way to get solar power installed"
UCSF wanted solar power for its new Mission Bay campus
but was daunted by the cost. So the school found a new
way to go solar - get someone else to pay for it.
"It's very simple - we got someone else to take on the headaches, and we get the power,"
Maric Munn
the school's director of facilities management. - SF Chronicle - 6/25/08
