A \u00e2\u20ac\u0153lite version\u00e2\u20ac\u009d has been launched as well.<\/p>\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I wanted to change the ownership model from being part of the real estate to becoming a tangible piece of property that moves with you or is passed down to your family so people can fully realize the investment,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Mark said on his blog.<\/p>\n<p>Powershed offers <a href=\"http:\/\/www.powershed.com\/Products.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">three product models<\/a>: the Powershed, which is an 8\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 x  8\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 shed with a steel-reinforced frame. There\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s the Powershed Lite, which comes in an 8\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 x 10\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 shed, slightly larger than the standard POWERSHED to allow for the modifications needed for the lighter frame. Finally, the company also offers Solar Wings for those not interested in the storage and functional capabilities of its shed products. Solar Wings have three solar modules that will generate an average of 2.5 kWh\/day. They can be mounted based on individual customer preferences including ground and pole mount. The Solar Wing is a grid-tie system only.<\/p>\n<p><em>Watch the video:<\/em><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/QWDoFtGvMtE\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3 class='related_post_title'>Related Posts:<\/h3><ul class='related_post'><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.energyrefuge.com\/blog\/hiring-solar-installers-in-hawaii-for-a-clean-reliable-energy-source\/\" title=\"Hiring Solar Installers in Hawaii for a Clean, Reliable Energy Source\">Hiring Solar Installers in Hawaii for a Clean, Reliable Energy Source<\/a><\/li><\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The scope of solar power application is enormous and a new portable solution has caught our attention.
