Product Overview:

The Grape Solar 9,000-Watt Monocrystalline PV Grid-Tied Solar Power Kit GS-9000-KIT  can be a good source for energy efficiency because of it's ability to collect and transform the sun's solar energy into free electricity. But how well do solar panels work in the south? According to NREL's Solar Photovoltaic Solar Resource Map of the United States, the south has the potential to create 5.5 kilowatts a day per square meter. So the Grape Solar 9,000-Watt Monocrystalline PV Grid-Tied Solar Power Kit GS-9000-KIT } may be a little too much energy efficiency for an average southern home. An average 1500 sf home uses about 4kW to 5.5 kW an hour. So solar panels are a solid way to save energy in the south.  Now the desert regions of the United States see the most benefit from this energy efficient product. The Desert can create 6.5+ kilowatts a day per square meter. Where ever the home, make sure to check with federal, state and local governments for any tax credits that can be taken advantage of before purchasing any energy efficiency upgrades. Taking advantage of energy efficient product tax credits is a great way to get more savings from your solar panel system. If you decide to purchase this product, please post your opinion and help future consumers make informed decisions.

The Grape Solar 9,000 Watt Monocrystalline Grid-Tied Solar Power Kit can generate between 9,800kWh and 19,700kWh of electricity per year. This works out to roughly one half to three quarters of the electrical power consumption of an average 2,400 square foot home. Unlike other power generators, there are no mechanical moving components; therefore, maintenance is virtually non-existent. The kit consists of high efficiency Grape Solar 250W Monocrystalline panels, 2 Kaco String Inverters and 2 combiner boxes. This product has not been tested by coolsouth.com.
