Introduction

The 10kW solar power system installed at Fort Nelson Secondary School consists of 98 solar panels, each generating 102 peak Watts, connected together through 4 power inverters. The system was installed using special non-penetrating roof mounts, ensuring the integrity of the school's roof remains intact.

It took approximately seven days for a five-person installation team from Carmanah to complete the installation and connect the solar power system to the school's grid power supply. An interconnection agreement with BC Hydro was officially signed on October 6, 2005.

System Performance

Going forward, this solar power system will generate approximately 10,000 kWhrs of clean, renewable electricity per year.
