About our solar panels

Sportsman Boats Manufacturing Plant - Summerville, SC

2,394 panels

Our system consists of 2,394 individual panels. Each measuring 3’ by 5’. They are anchored down to the roof with a none penetrating clamping mechanism that requires no drilling. Each panel is capable of producing 330 watts per day. That’s enough to power a light bulb for over 5.5 days.

**25+ years of energy

Our system has a life expectancy of over 25 years. During its lifetime it will collect enough energy from the sun to power 250 average American homes for 65 years and do it all with zero environmental impact to our planet.

**Daily impact

Our system is capable of producing up to 19,200 kilowatt hours on a bright sunny day but furthermore, it will continue to collect energy deep into the night thanks to its photovoltaic properties.

**Environmental impact

Our system harnesses the power of the sun daily and does so with zero emissions. This clean way of obtaining energy is the way to the future and we couldn’t be more proud to be part of it.
