Questions we get asked
Can you install three-phase power?
Yes. We install and upgrade three-phase and single-phase services and coordinate the connection with Maritime Electric.
How big a solar system can a farm install?
Maritime Electric net metering allows systems up to 100 kW. Systems around 30 kW and larger may need three-phase power.
Can a generator run my storage fans?
Yes. We size the generator for the loads that matter most, such as ventilation, coolers and pumps, and set it to start on its own.
