Southern View Energy completes solar install for SolAirsoft

When small businesses decide to take part in the green movement, few do it with more passion than SolAirsoft of Gainesville GA. This business, recently open and locally owned, has made a firm commitment to recycling, utilization of solar power and is dedicated to help promote sustainable living.

Before opening their airsoft fields for play in the summer of 2010 SolAirsoft partnered with Southern View Energy, a Georgia solar installer, to provide solar power to their entire operation. SVE used the following products to design and implement the SolAirsoft setup:

• 24 Trina 220
• 2 Outback Inverters
• 2 Outback charge controllers
• 16 Concorde batteries

What makes this specific application very unique is that SolAirsoft is completely “off grid”, meaning they have no ties to their local electric company. The system is designed to generate enough power for the business to supply for all their lighting requirements, run their septic system, power 2 computers, power 2 flat screen TVs and still have enough left to power plenty of other plug in items.

With very enticing federal and state tax incentives available there is no better time to invest in solar energy. Southern View Energy has the knowledge, ability and resources to help outfit you with the best photovoltaic equipment available.

If you need solar energy to power your home, your business, your farm or your commercial building you can feel confident in knowing that Southern View Energy will properly outfit you. Financing is available to all clients and now is the time to make a difference. Consider investing in solar energy; your family and your planet will thank you.
