Welcome to Our Portfolio
At Down-To-Earth Solar Power we aim to provide customers with solar installations that are well designed, carefully installed, and reasonably priced.
In so doing we hope to provide a secure future for our owners, staff, and families and through our efforts to make a positive environmental impact.
Deger 9000 Tracker
The tracker in the photo is a dual axis Deger 9000 installed by DTE Solar in 2011 near Port Perry Ontarion and has 40 Heliene modules each 300 watts.
Inverters are 2- SMA 5000 US. Deger 9000 trackers provide excellent return on investment because of the additional harvest of up to 43% more energy that comparable fixed systems.
Deger has been perfecting their trackers longer than any competitors and customers reap the rewards of their meticulous German engineering.
8.5 kW Rooftop PV System
8.5 Kw Rooftop, installed in King Township – Ontario.
Enphase M190 inverters were installed for each panel to optimise the power produced at this site which is shaded by trees in early morning and late afternoon.
The modules are Sharp 225 Watt polycrystalline. Project met the 40% Ontario content that was required in 2010. Production after a full year of operation was very near the forecast using RETscreen (Natural Resources Canada’s versatile modelling software).
For this customer, we also installed a Fafco solar pool heating system and a solar powered attic fan.

Fixed Ground-Mounted Systems
This photo shows a fixed system mounted on the ground.
Because there are no moving parts, fixed ground mounted systems are virtually maintenance free.
Compared to active sun trackers the energy harvest is less but so is the cost.
If the owner has a suitable space in an unshaded area, mounting the array on the ground is sometimes the best solution.
