Montana Residential Solar Electric System
This is an excellent example of an on grid home that encompasses a battery bank. When the grid goes down this system provides power to major appliances, powering these thru what we term a critical load subpanel.

Net Zero Habitat for Humanity Home
This is an all-electric home with new energy star appliances, LED lighting and a very well insulated envelope.

Designed for Growth
Here is a system that was designed with growth in mind.
There are many considerations to take into account when you are designing a solar electric system. And growth is one of the considerations.

Remote off-grid Solar Electric System Montana
Here is an off-grid, remote home near Polebridge, Montana.
We mounted 27 modules on three top of pole mount structures some 300 feet from the home, taking advantage of a natural opening in the spruce forest.

4 kW Solar PV System
This 4 kW utility interactive photovoltaic system is expected to provide nearly all of the electrical demands of this Missoula resident’s home. Missoula’s yearly insolation for a fixed, south-facing plane tilted at 35° is about 4.4 kWh per square meter per day.

Bimodal Solar PV, Grid-tied & Off-grid Combo
SBS Solar was really excited to work on this bimodal system. It is just a few minutes from downtown Missoula, and the customer wanted to be fully self sufficient when the grid was down.

Ballasted Solar PV Mounting System for Flat Roof
A ballasted solar PV mount is a graceful, highly engineered solution that secures the array without damaging the flat roof. It is compatible with the usual framed photovoltaic modules and typically does not require roof penetrations. Read More

Hamilton Grid-Tie Photovoltaic System
The Moore’s of Hamilton, Montana completed this installation of a 10 module photovoltaic system which will provide 40% of the electrical power used in their home.
