Andalay PV Panels now available for do-it-yourselfers through Lowes

andalay panels install


Andalay PV (photovoltaic) panels, the ones installed by Akeena Solar, have a near plug and play installation format. With almost all of the pieces integrated, you simply install the base into the roof, set the panels down, plug them together and the rooftop installation is done. Now, for the first time, Lowe's sells all the pieces to the Andalay system in 21 stores across California, so Do-It Yourselfers can purchase their own Andalay panels and install them.

The Andalay panels are easier for homeowners to install because almost all of the parts and pieces are integrated into the panels themselves. In addition, Andalay states that you can add panels to your system over time as your needs increase because each panel has its own individual inverter that convert the DC power produced by the panel to the AC power needed to power your home. This means that you don't have to worry about resizing your inverter as your system size changes.

21 Lowe's shops across California now carry Anadalay PV panels and Lowe's plans to expand their Energy Centers throughout the US and Canada in 2010.

    Thank you, I've recently been searching for info about this topic for a long time and yours is the best I've found out till now. But, what concerning the conclusion? Are you certain about the source?|What i don't understood is in fact how you're not actually much more well-favored than you may be now. You are very intelligent.
