Tick Tock Energy, Central Illinois’ leading solar contractor, recently wrapped up a 12kW (DC) solar installation on their new Effingham office.
The solar system consists of 39 Solar Tech Universal 310W solar panels, two SolarEdge 5kW inverters, and a newly developed racking system from Advanced Racking.
Only recently put into production, Advanced Racking’s new system is rail-free with a matte-black finish. The system works well for Tick Tock’s choice of solar panels, which are black-on-black. It was also an opportunity for the office to install the latest solar racking technology from Advanced Racking.
Tick Tock’s new solar install will be a useful tool in demonstrating to customers how solar works. It also demonstrates Tick Tock’s commitment to standing by their products, as well as their commitment to producing clean and sustainable energy.
Tick Tock’s solar installation is just one more example of how solar can help small businesses take control of their utility costs and put those savings to work growing their business.
