Solar Energy Case Studies and Testimonials
Projects Past and Present
Grid-Tied Solar
Energy Photovoltaic System Barry Schmidt
The home site is situated on a
number of acres and is located in a canyon on the
north facing slope with pines and oak trees in the
steepest areas. Not all of the property had full sun
throughout the year, but the array location had good
afternoon exposure.
Off Grid Residential Solar Power Case Study Vicki Reid
The site is located in Descanso,
California, just east of San Diego. The site is in a
small valley and at an elevation of about 3,000 feet.
The site sees high summer temperatures of over 100
degrees and winter temperatures in the low 30s. The home
had a roof that was oriented perfectly for southern
exposure and was an ideal platform for the solar array.
Commercial Off-Grid Solar Energy System Case Study Mono
Lake
The site is located at Mono Lake,
California. This is an extremely remote and harsh
environment. Summer temperatures extend into the high
80s and in the winter the temperatures can go into the
low 20s and winds can gust to 100 + mph. These winds
blow an acidic combination of sand and lake salts onto
the site. Accessing the site required the use of ATVs
and tracked vehicles due to the sand dunes and the soft
blowing sand conditions. The existing solar system that
was in place at the site showed signs of extensive
abrasion on the modules from blowing sand. All
electrical equipment had fine dust intrusion and was
failing due to the harsh conditions.
Off Grid Residential Solar Power Case Study Vic Cooper
The site is located in Big Sur, California about one
mile from the closest utility power pole. The
property is located on very steep terrain at 1800
feet above the Pacific Ocean with numerous scrub
oaks on site. Although the majority of the property
is steep, it does receive good southern exposure
with no obstructions.
Apex Solar Testimonials
We were very much satisfied. I thought the job was
professionally done. The components he picked out
seemed to work well together. We’re still in
construction and haven’t moved into our house so I
don’t know about the sizing, but he did a thorough
job of asking questions about our electricity use
and how we would use the system.
