| This solar revolution could not have come about without the development of cheaper technologies for manufacturing of silicon ingots, and solar cells, and the cooperation with high technology factories in China and the far east. We at Blue Wave Solar have direct contacts with factories overseas who produce solar panels for customers all over the world. We use the best of approved components from Asia, Europe and USA to provide you with durable, high quality, affordable grid-tied systems for your residence or business. |

| Calculating System Performance |
|
Researchers at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory developed PVWATTS to permit non-experts to quickly obtain performance estimates for grid-connected PV systems. In order to understand how a solar system can reduce your electric bill, take a look at the PV Watts performance calculator for grid-connected systems. This calculator takes into account your location in estimating the electricity to be generated by your system and is an invaluable resource in helping you design the most efficient grid tied system for your needs.
