8.3kW Wichita Falls Project

Two factors drove the equipment selections for this PV system: cost-effectiveness and brand quality. To that end, Nick Gilliland, Solar Energy Director, explained, “We decided on Jinko panels because my customer can Google them and see they are consistently the largest global producer of solar modules.” The Davis team selected the SMA Sunny Boy inverters for their reliability. “I have sold hundreds of these inverters, and I have yet to run into a problem with their energy production.” Finally, the Davis Electric solar design team decided to use the IronRidge XR-10 rail because it provides maximum value to the customer by being both affordable and strong enough to last for decades.

Davis pre-solar customers typically have a $300 electric bill each summer month and a $150 bill each winter month. “About 85% of our customers finance the system,” explained Nick. Davis Electric presents its finances in a simple way: One can either pay the electric bill or pay each month towards something one owns.
