Reuben Trane (right) inspects the latest in solar panel technology in Silicon Valley, California. Since the “real estate” available on the DSe for the solar array, it is important to use the most efficient technology commercially available today. Island Pilot will be in a position to adapt the latest advances as they occur.

Extensive testing has been done with an Enersys “Truelead” high-voltage battery bank. Charging & discharging & charging again. Cycle after cycle to see how the battery bank will hold up. Seems these batteries are essentially “bullet-proof” and can withstand over charging and complete discharging without shortening the life span of the bank.
