Is this 'FAQ' section new to the website? I don't recall these
q&a's prior:

FAQ
Can an existing, stationary solar system be converted to a Mass Megawatts SPS?
Yes, this is possible, but needs to be determined on a case-by-case basis.

Are better backup systems available?
Yes. Mass Megawatts will explain the options.

How can I tell if the unit is performing adequately?

Meter is installed at the site to report results and output from system. Mass Megawatts will also continue to monitor performance at site.

Any potential for high-wind and/or snow accumulation damage?
The system is designed to handle wind speeds up to 120 mph, and snow will fall off panels due to angle of position and natural sun/thermal melting.

Any potential cosmetic issues with rust, etc.?
No rust will occur on the framework, and no painting is required.

Is there any noticeable noise generated?
No noticeable noise is generated due to the use of a passive, non-electrical, tracking technology.

Who’s responsible for making any needed repairs?
Mass Megawatts will perform any needed repairs over the first 10 years of service.

Is there any routine maintenance that I need to perform?
There is no annual, routine maintenance to perform. However, inverters have a typical life expectancy of 10 years, and the protective, solar wall may likely to be updated every 5 years. Mass Megawatts provides service for these updates.

Is there a performance guarantee?

Yes, Mass Megawatts provides a full, performance guarantee on the system for the first 10 years. If the system does produce the documented, expected results, Mass Megawatts will provide a credit to the customer to cover the discrepancy.

Does MMMW oversee the complete installation?
Yes, Mass Megawatts will handle the complete installation of each system, including meeting permitting requirements and handling interconnection with electric utility/grid.

My town provides a municipal electric service. Will they likely allow this type of system?
They may, but this needs to be determined on a case-by-case basis. Mass Megawatts will evaluate.

How can I tell if my property is a good fit for solar?
A Mass Megawatts representative will perform a site evaluation to determine site eligibility

Any zoning and/or permitting requirements to be aware of?
No expected zoning problems. Local permitting requirements must be met. Mass Megawatts will satisfy these requirements for the customer.

What type of purchase and financing options are available?
Several options are available, including outright purchases, lease programs, and power purchase agreements (PPA). Mass Megawatts will help the customer to determine the best option.

What type of warrantee’s come with the system?
The solar panels come with a 20 year warranty. The inverter comes with a 10 year warranty. Mass Megawatts also provides a full, performance guarantee on the SPS for the first 10 years.

What’s the life expectancy of an STS system?
The system has an expected useful life of 30 years.

How long does it take to install an STS system?
In most cases, a 6.25 kW system can be installed within a few business days.

What’s the expected ROR for the STS system?
In many locations, ROR can reach 40% with payback at 3.5 years.

What are the physical size/dimensions of a single, 6.25 kW, STS unit?
5 kW unit is approximately 50' (L) x 15' (W) x 15' (H).

How much energy is generated (or rated) for each solar unit?
The smallest unit is rated at 6.25 kW (Kilowatts), which would be appropriate for most residential and small business installations. However, Mass Megawatts can deliver almost unlimited capacity for larger installations.


Is the Mass Megawatts’ Solar Tracking System (STS) a complete solar power system or just a component to improve an existing system?
The SPS is a complete solar power system, including solar panels, inverter, and solar tracking framework, delivered by Mass Megawatts.
