Solar in Chewelah, WA
This Chewalah, WA ground mount solar panel system offsets electricity bills, a major cost for this rural tree farm.
Utilizing your open space to install a ground-mounted solar array is a great way to customize your system to your needs while ensuring that you have the best sun access available. When installing a ground-mounted system, we ensure that it is in the correct orientation (azimuth) and tilt to capture the most solar irradiance available.
But how do we do that? Solar irradiance is the actual electromagnetic radiation at a given location. That's a fancy way of saying how many kWh are actually falling to earth from the sun. We then take the amount of power available, and we calculate the best Total Solar Resource Fraction (TSRF) we can capture.
The TSRF is a calculation that considers the placement of the actual solar panels. It starts with the total amount of irradiance available then calculates the efficiency, direction, and angle the solar panel faces the sun.
