• Lower equipment cost with Zep Compatible™ frame.  

• Reduce labor costs on roof by 25% or more.    

• Leverage a built-in grounding system - if it's mounted, it's grounded.

• Ultra-low parts count - eliminates rails, screws, mounting clips, and grounding hardware. 

• Design and permit projects easily with access to layout calculator and stamped drawings.

 HOMEOWNER BENEFITS 

• Cut total installed costs with savings across equipment and labor. 

• Take advantage of the strongest module system yet, requiring minimal roof penetrations. 

• Invest in an attractive solar array that includes a black frame, low mounting profile, and aesthetic array skirt. 

• Increase energy output with flexible mounting options (portrait or landscape). 

• Trust in the reliability and theft-resistance of the Zep Compatible™ system.  

The Z Series is also optimized for use with Enphase Microinverters. Enphase's Zep Compatible™ Microinverters are designed to connect directly into the Z Series module groove, eliminating the need for tools, fasteners or a grounding wire. With one easy step, you can simplify design, lower install time, and begin monitoring system output.

DC Power Systems & Solar Depot are one of the nation's first distributors of the YGE-Z Series.  Click HERE to download the spec sheet. Modules will begin shipping in early Q4.  Contact your sales rep for more info. 

The Yingli Solar PANDA is a new monocrystalline module technology with n-type solar cells that have average efficiencies higher than 18.5%.  Combined with high transmission glass, module efficiencies are up to 16.2%.   

Compared to traditional modules with p-type solar cells, PANDA modules have lower initial degradation and higher performance under both high temperature and low irradiation conditions.   

Ideal for residential or commercial applications where high efficiency is essential. 

   

New equipment is now available to help design hybrid systems.  There is virtually no limit to the size of the systems that can be created, and there are huge opportunities out there.  Installers can now tackle projects once thought to be impractical.  Hybrid power systems with energy storage and combinations of inverters, generators, solar, wind and other sustainable technologies - on or off-grid, size 30kW are within reach.  A common application is adding solar or wind to existing diesel generator systems.

 

Robert Seton has taken a new role as Hybrid Power System Design & Sales Account Manager.  He has been with DC Power Systems for over 7 years, leading the engineering department for most of the time.  He has over 35 years experience in power generation, distribution, utilization and control.

We've enhanced the DC Power Systems downloads page to make it easier and more accessible for our dealers.

• Added "Quick Links" to the pages to quickly jump to the category you are interested in. 

• Created product category (i.e., inverter, PV modules, batteries, etc.) web pages and manufacturer web pages (i.e., Sharp, Fronius, Enphase, etc.).    One quick click too see all literature available for one manufacturer.   

Approved Alternate Grounding Methods - Ground Lugs
BURNDY® Lug 

A BURNDY Lug (CL50-1TN) can be attached to SHARP module frames with a standard #10 machine stainless steel screw, spring star washer and nut to allow an EGC to be installed.  The module frame ground hole must be expanded with a #9 (Ø0.196 inch) drill bit.  

 

ILSCO® Lug An ILSCO Lug (GBL-4DBT) can be attached to SHARP module frames with a standard #10 machine stainless steel screw, spring star washer and nut to allow an EGC to be installed.  The module ground hole must be expanded with a #9 (Ø0.196 inch) drill bit.  

 

TYCO® Lug A TYCO Lug (2058729-1) can be attached to SHARP module frames with a #10 nut with internal lock-washer and nut to allow an EGC to be installed.  

 

Ground strap A Ground strap can be attached to SHARP the module frame with a #8-32 machine screw, nut, and star washer. 

 

Expanding Existing Ground Hole Instructions - WEEB®  

WEEB (Washer, Electrical Equipment Bond made by Wiley Electronics LLC) can be installed in accordance with the applicable Wiley Electronics installation manual to provide a bond between SHARP module frames and specific, approved racking systems instead of a module-module EGC. Note that NEC AND CEC guidelines requiring a continuous ground must be followed.
