A 10 KW Ground Mount system for at the Warm Springs Regional Fisheries Center in Georgia.
Micanopy Power Plant:
A 10 KW Residential system, installed in two phases.
The Largest Energy Producer in Starke, Florida:
Commercial Solar Power is our Business! This system on Ambient Air is the largest energy production facility in Starke, Florida at 30,000 watts. Ambient Air is an environmental consulting firm specializing in air emission related services.
Gainesville Tire Feeds the Grid!:
Pure Energy installed a 25.2 KW system (144 Sharp solar panels) on Gainesville Tire as part of the Feed-in-Tariff (FIT) Program from GRU. This system is one of the first FIT Systems in the United States. All power will be sold to GRU to help Gainesville reach 20% alternative energy by 2025.
Largest Solar installation in the history of Gainesville!:
Phase One: in 2007, Pure Energy installed a 25.2 KW solar system (126 Sanyo solar panels!) near downtown Gainesville. This system is the first commercial job of it's kind in our area. Pure Energy is proud to have been asked to install this historic solar energy system.
Phase Two: Since the first install of solar panels, Pure Energy Solar has installed an additional 50 KW (over 288 more Solar Panels) at the same location.
Residential Installations:
A collection of residential photovoltaic systems around Florida installed by Pure Energy Solar. Each installation is unique due to our efforts to maximize the efficiency of each system.
Commercial Solar Power:
This is a solar array on an apartment complex clubhouse in Gainesville, Florida. These solar panels will power the pool pump and other common area systems. Solar Panels make a great addition to keep costs down.
A 75% reduction in the electric bill:
Pure Energy installed this 5.2 KW system for a client whose goal was to reduce their electric bill. To achieve maximum efficiency, the panel were installed in the best solar window possible, with the optimal tilt. The end result was a 75% reduction in their electric bill.
One of the FIRST Feed in Tariff systems in the USA:
In March of 2009, Gainesville, Florida became the first place in the United States to adopt a Feed-in-Tariff program. This program sets the rate you will receive from GRU for 20 years. This is one of the first systems to be installed under that program and we are honored to be a part of it
Solyndra:
Pure Energy Solar was selected to install a residential SOLYNDRA system in Gainesville. The benefits of this kind of system are for large flat roof installations. There are no penetrations into the roof and the "self-tracking" panels are tubular, so a section of the panels are always perpendicular to the sun. The key to Solyndra's success is reflectivity, they get 20% of their energy from the reflection off of the subsurface.
Difficult roofs are no problem:
Pure Energy makes it look right everytime! This residential solar installation presented a challenge for us. Notice the ridgeline between the solar panels? This limited out surface area for the solar array to be installed all together. This design was selected to make get the most out of the solar array, while making sure the aesthetic integrety was at its best.
A perfect Solar Window:
Pure Energy Solar installed this 4.2 KW system in Gainesville recently. This is a perfect example of a desirable "solar window" to maximize the efficiency in your solar array.
Rack Options - Residential Solar:
This is a 6 KW solar electric system installed using ballasted system on the flat section of the roof and tilt up racking on the steeper pitch.
The PV Pergola:
A custom solar design and turnkey installation. The homeowner did not have a good solar window on the home, so Pure Energy Solar worked with local architect, Josh Shatkin, to design and build a custom structure to take full advantage of the best solar window on the property. The openness of the PV Pergola also keeps the solar panels cool, which increases the efficiency of the solar panels. To read more about the PV Pergola, please click here. Pure Energy Solar took care of every aspect of this installation, part of their turnkey solar service.
Solar Install with 120 mph Wind Loads:
5.6 KW of Solar Panels at a residential install in Citrus County. This area of Florida has a 120 mph wind load requirement. The solar panel installation needed extra permit and inspection information, which was all covered in Pure Energy Solar's turnkey solar service.
Stand Alone Solar System:
Pure Energy installed a 7.6 KW Sanyo Solar System with an Outback Power Grid-Tie w/battery back-up system on this Horse Farm barn. The Solar Panels operate as a stand alone system.
Optimized Solar:
In this installation, the slope of the roof does not face South, which is needed to get the best performance out of the solar panels. The solar panels were tilted to the south to maximize efficiency.
Home Energy Makeover:
In 2008, Pure Energy Solar, along with Gainesville Regional Utilities and WCJB TV 20, gave-away a Home Energy Makeover to one lucky Gainesville family. This makeover included energy conservation upgrades and a photovoltaic system, complete with solar panels, inverter, and rails, all installed by Pure Energy Solar.
Got Shade? Pure Energy Solar has a Solar Solution:
The "Wall of Power" is a 5 KW solar system. Due to the tree cover on the home, the home owner and Pure Energy Solar decided a ground mounted system was the best way to reach maximum efficiency for the solar panels. Ground Mounts are an effective way to get the best performance out of your solar panels if you have the space. If you are interested in Gainesville Regional Utilite's Feed-in-Tariff Program, you need to be aware that Ground Mounts qualify for a different kWh price than Roof Mounted systems.
Grid Tie, Pole Mount Solar System with Battery Back Up = Energy Independence:
This 2.8 KW solar array was installed with a battery back up system. With a battery bank and a grid tied inverter, this solar system creates and stores energy. It is designed to contribute to the power needs of the home under normal conditions and keep the power on in case of a blackout. Due to the remote location and long outages caused by storms, the homeowner wanted this system to keep the vital systems of the home going in the event of extended power outages.
