Solar Electric Photo Gallery

A mixed collection of pictures etc. taken over the past 25 years of some of our installations and other notable events. (adding comments and descriptions as we get time)

Signature Photo

This is kind of our signature photo, of an installation we did on an off grid cabin near Flagstaff, Arizona around 1992.

Early Project

This was one of our first solar installs, sometime around 1978, on an off grid home. At that time solar was around $12 a watt, so for it's time it was fairly expensive.

Navajo Reservation, 198?

This was one of many installations that we have done over the past 20+ years on the Navajo and Hopi reservations. We lost count a while back, but it is around 1200 or so, ranging from a small single panel on a hogan, up to a large grid tie system at one of the special schools.

Ancient Charge Controller

This is a Jurassic age charge controller that we found at a cathodic protection system for a wellhead in North Texas. The rats seemed to have liked all the heat it gave off in winter also. Needless to say, efficiency was not the best.

Portable Panel

This is not even our picture, we stole from one of our customers, but we needed to fill in this blank spot.

Mexico - Resort Installation - 2004

Microwave Repeater Site - California, 1991

Miscellaneous

Some Kind of Battery Picture

Not sure why we put this here, kind of a generic battery bank picture, but we had the extra space...

Our Customer Service & Complaint Department

We have had this picture on our websites for years, and we get the occasional complaint about how it is in poor taste, which bothers us a lot, so we may take it off in 15 or 20 years.

Our 2003 Ad in Lake Powell Magazine

This ad was a direct slam at the Sierra Club, and their "plan" to drain Lake Powell. It shows our fearless leader tied up in a solar powered electric chair, with a Sierra Club T-shirt. This ad generated some controversy - which also bothered us a lot, so we continued to run the ad for the remainder of that year. We considered running a similar ad for PETA in 2004, but could not find any PETA members willing to sit in the chair.
