THE PLUG&PLAY SOLAR KIT SYSTEM
The Plug and Play Solar Kits GT is the first solar product of its kind to combine interactive
features and simplicity of use. Each unit arrives fully assembled and only needs to be plugged into a
dedicated outdoor outlet in order to start producing solar power! Once it’s plugged in, the user can
truly “play” with the GT by using the interactive wireless meter to help find ideal placement and tilt-
angles.
Each lead unit comes with a wireless meter that has three displays. The displays show:
1.
Kilowatts generated
2.
Amount of carbon dioxide reduced
3.
Average dollars saved.
This innovative interactive feature makes it easy for the user to adjust the placement and tilt-angle of
the panel to find the optimum output for the panel(s) – something that is not possible with traditional
rooftop solar.
The Plug and Play Solar GT is similar to any other appliance that plugs into a standard household
120Vac outlet. The only difference is that the unit
produces
power instead of consuming it! When
plugged in, a single unit will provide up to 240 Watts to anything currently using power within your
house. For example, if the house is consuming a total of 1,000 Watts of power, the GT will provide up
to 240 Watts of that power, reducing your electricity from the utility company to only 760 Watts. The
GT therefore slows your meter and reduces your electricity bill. In some conditions, it may be possible
for the GT unit to provide enough power to stop your meter or even spin your meter backward! In
this case, you can consult your local utility about selling power back to the utility company or receiving
credits on the power you’ve produced. This is often called “net-metering.” In order to net-meter, you
may need to have your utility’s approval prior to connecting your GT unit.
The GT is perfectly safe when unplugged from the dedicated outlet. The unit is designed to
immediately shut down when unplugged.
All electrical components contained within the GT unit are individually UL listed. The unit as a
whole is not UL listed.
The GT, when installed in an ideal shade-free area in Arizona, will produce an average of 1.2
kWh’s a day, or 438 kWh’s per year. This is enough energy to offset a large capacity
refrigerator or five 20-Watt light bulbs for 12 hours per day.
Up to six GT units can be connected together on one 15A or 20A dedicated outdoor outlet.
Consult Plug and Play Solar Kit's technical support if you would like to use more than six units.
