Some Of The Longest Warranties In The Industry

The solar panels that are used in these San Francisco Solar systems come with a 25 year factory warranty. The inverters come with a 10 year factory warranty. Some of the longest warranties in the industry !

Before You Buy !

Click here to learn ten buying tips to use when shopping for a solar system.

San Francisco Solar only uses solar panels that have been manufactured with solar cells that have been cut from solid ingots of silicon.

When shopping for solar panels, always insist on solar panels that use solar cells that have been cut from a solid silicon ingot.

Many of the solar panels that are on the market that use solar cells that are not cut from solid silicon ingots may offer lower efficiencies, poorer tolerances or lesser warranties.

No thin film, ribbons, bows or strings attached.

Simply Better Components

In an effort to be more competitive, many dealers have resorted to offering thin light duty mounting rails that require many more roof penetrations, lower cost, lightweight inverters with high frequency transformers instead of a heavy duty 60 Hertz output transformer, solar panels with poorer per Watt PTC ratings and lesser warranties and or solar panels that use cells that are not cut from a solid ingot of silicon.

Here at San Francisco Solar we never skimp on quality. Every system that we sell includes only the very best heavy duty components available on today's market.

And that's not just talk. In a side by side comparison we'll prove why our name brand top of the line equipment outperforms the competition hands down at a price that can't be beat.

Weight Matters

San Francisco Solar only uses heavy duty inverters with 60 Hertz based, copper wound output transformers for high efficiency and unbeatable durability and performance.

Copper is expensive but its time tested performance in inverters is undeniable.

Since the year 2000 We've owned and operated one of the largest most experienced factory authorized inverter repair centers in the nation and we know the value of using a heavy duty 60 Hertz based output transformer.

Because of our in depth knowledge concerning the design, construction and repair of inverters, we simply will not use HF (high frequency) inverters in our systems.

Before making a buying decision, better ask how much the other dealer's inverter weighs, then ask to see the inverter's specification sheet to be sure.

Many of our competitors use inverters with lower cost, HF (high frequency) output transformers.

High Efficiency, Ultra Pure Polycrystalline Solar Cells.

You won't find any low cost, lower efficiency UMG solar cells in Trina solar panels.

Trina solar only uses ultra pure silicon in their solar cells. In fact the silicon that is used to make the solar cells in Trina solar panels are repeatedly refined until they reach 99.999999% (nine 9s) of purity for much higher efficiency and performance.

Trina's ultra pure refining process offers you higher efficiency and better performance in low light conditions. And because Trina Solar manufactures there own cells, they are able to maintain tighter tolerances and a higher level of quality control.

Strong I Beam Mounting Rails

Great News ! For An Extremely Limited Time We Will Upgrade The U.S. Made Unirac Clicksys Mount System In This Kit To The Even Higher Strength U.S. Made, Unirac Standard SolarMount Mounting System At No Additional Cost. Offer Ends Soon.

I beams have a long proven history in the construction industry. The I beam's efficient load bearing design lends itself perfectly for securing your investment into solar onto your roof's surface.

Low Cost C Shaped Rails Without A Factory Warranty Are Not Allowed In Any Of Our Systems.

The C shaped rail that many other dealers offer provides a flimsier design and don't even come with a factory warranty. To prove our point ask your dealer to provide a sample of their U shaped mounting rail. Lay the sample on its side and simply stand on it.

Note what happens to this rail. Next try the same thing with a ClickSys I beam rail from Unirac and you'll know right away which design offers you more piece of mind.

Because many C shaped rails use far less aluminum, the result is a flimsier design which will require many more holes drilled into your roof to provide the rigidity that is necessary to support the solar panels. Drilling more holes into your roof can increase labor costs as well as increase the risk of a leak.

Also Unirac SolarMount's taller rail provides more air flow for increased cooling. Solar electric panels work off of light not heat. Heat is a solar panel's worst enemy, the cooler a solar panels is, the more power it will produce.

Always ask your dealer to show you a sample of the mounting rails the he's going to use on your roof. ******

Important: If you've been provided with a quote with no mention of the brand or model number of the mounting system that your dealer is using, then the dealer is probably trying to sell you the cheapest available racks on the market. This is a common practice amongst less reputable dealers. Always demand to see a full list of material including brands and models and ALWAYS ask for a copy of the mounting system's factory warranty.

Just because a company makes a great TV or other household appliance doesn't necessarily mean that they make a great solar panel. Some of the poorest performing solar panels are made by some of the biggest names in the industry.

Never rely on a salesperson to tell you what's a great product and what's not. We'll provide you with all of the resources that you would ever need, including specification sheets from our competitors offerings, so that you can make your own educated decision about solar panel performance and compare for yourself. After all you are making a big investment into a product that should last at least 30 years so even minor differences in performance can make a big difference in the long run.

Solar Panel Comparison

California and other states have adopted a much more stringent system to rate real world performance of solar panels. This rating system assigns what is known as a PTC (PVUSA Test Conditions) rating to each solar panel that is approved for use in their rebate programs.

This rating system was developed to test and compare PV systems as part of the PVUSA (Photovoltaics for Utility Scale Applications) project.

The PTC rating, which is lower than the STC (Standard Test Conditions) rating, is generally recognized as a more realistic measure of PV output because the test conditions better reflect "real-world" solar and climatic conditions, compared to the STC rating.

According to the California Energy Commission, Click Here To Compare For Yourself our TSM-230PA05 230 Watt panel has a higher per Watt PTC rating than all of the following solar panels. Which means that in California and other states, watt for watt you'll get a bigger rebate with Trina Solar than with any of the solar panels listed below.

The BP^â 190 through 237 Watt panels.

The Solar Tech Powerâ 210 through 230 Watt panels.

The REC ScanModuleâ AB 205 through 230 Watt panels.

The Ningbo Max^â 150 through 175 Watt panels.

The GE^â 200 and 205 watt panels.

The Yunnan Tianda Photovoltaic^â 160 through 180 Watt panels.

The Alpsâ 210 through 230 Watt panels.

The Andaly Solar^â 165 through 210 Watt panels.

And according to the following manufacturer's own specification sheets, the Trina TSM-230PA05 panel offers a better negative tolerance rating than the Sun Powerâ line of solar panels, the BP^â line of solar panels and the Sharp^â line of solar panels. A better negative tolerance rating means that you are guaranteed in writing of getting more of the power that you paid for.

The Trina TSM-230PA05 also offers a warranty that is 5 years longer than the Sanyoâ 180 through 205 watt panels 170 through 210 Watt panels.

"The single most important criteria when choosing a solar panel is not price nor is it performance. It's the financial strength of the manufacturer behind the solar panel's guarantee."

Thousands of U.S. consumers will make the same mistake this Summer that so many have made in the past of trying to save a few pennies per Watt by buying non name brand solar panels without ever looking into the manufacturer's history or even its current financial status.

When it comes to purchasing a solar system for your home or business it is crucial that you take a very close look at the solar panels that the dealer is offering you. After all, solar panels are the workhorse of any solar system. Far too many consumers simply purchase what ever it is that a dealer happens to have available without even looking at a specification sheet. Performance that is lacking by just a few percentage points or an inferior warranty can make all the difference in the world over the expected life of a solar panel.

With more than nine years of experience operating our own state of the art, in-house solar repair center, we know what technologies perform well in the real world and what technologies do not.

Over the years, we've seen expensive, name brand, solar panels fail only after a few months worth of use. We've even seen popular U.S. made solar panels fail soon after the manufacturer closed its doors leaving its customers with no warranty.

This is why it is important that you choose a solar panel manufacturer that is well established in the industry and has the financial strength to be there in the event that a warranty claim arises. This is exactly why we chose publicly traded Trina Solar for our Gold series solar systems.

When Reliability And Performance Matter

When it comes to aircraft, reliability and performance means everything. That's why Lisa Airplanes chose Trina Solar Cells for their revolutionary Hy-Bird Solar and Hydrogen powered aircraft.
