24ft x 60ft building with (3) 8x8 doors and a 24ft x 24ft work room. On the roof is an 8KW solar system using (33) 240W Trina panels. Mounting is via Trinamount II for slant roofs (all required connectors are accurately rendered and engineered spacing included) Orientation of panels are as specified by TRINA for maximum efficiency. The panels are mounted at a 45 degree pitch with south orientation on 12/12 by 3/12 trusses (engineered for 120 wind load and asymmetrical loading of solar panels). There is a 10 x 12 ft. garden shed on the east end. We are building this on our farm the fall of 2012. Our electric utility- Western Iowa Power Cooperative- charges 16 cents per KWH, so this system will earn $240 per month, entirely paying our loan for the building (including the solar system). Part of a three solar shed package by neergreen.com: 8KW (24ft x 60ft), 16KW (34 ft x 60 ft) and 24KW (34 ft x 88 ft). Each can be built for zero monthly payments. Made for rural living and especially for farm, orchard, vineyard, nurseries (because 16KW and 24KW systems are large buildings designed for storing tractors and implements). If the 80,000 farms in Iowa alone were to build any one of these we'd reduce enough conventional energy to shut down a coal plant. If each agricultural family (if part- or full-time) in America built one of these we'd be able to close 100 coal plants permanently.
