Big Frog Mountain Corporation
3821 Hixson Pike, Chattanooga, Tennessee, United States

With wise energy usage, conservation and the appropriate technology you now have the ability to achieve a sustainable energy independence for whatever your needs. Big Frog Mountain Corporation - a Tennessee solar company - has been supplying alternative and renewable energy equipment world-wide since 1997 and supported many remote and utility grid interactive solar electric power systems since 1989.  "Each day more solar energy falls to the Earth than the total amount of energy the planets 5.9 billion inhabitants would consume in 27 years. While its neither possible nor necessary to use but a small portion of this energy, weve hardly begun to tap the potential of solar energy." U.S. Department of Energy-NREL  We will continue to support and partner with the US DOE Energy Star Program Initiatives.

Big Frog Mountain is proud to be a certified ENERGY STAR® partner.

• The company founders private home in Tennessee has been powered completely from electricity generated by photovoltaics since 1989.

• No matter where on earth you are or want to be, we can supply reliable renewable energy equipment for whatever your needs.

Complete Stand-Alone Solar Electric Power Systems 

The solar electric energy systems on this page are examples of our complete stand-alone solar power systems complete with the charge controllers, disconnects, & an inverter, mounted & pre-wired.  We also have systems designed strictly for utility intertie applications that use no batteries and are designed to enable net metering (lowering your power bill) with your utility company. We can work with your contractor or architect for developing specifications on a system for your project.  The budgetary examples below of stand-alone type systems include solar panels ready-to-mount with all mounts & mounting hardware. Batteries are not included. The wiring needed for connecting the modules to the control panel & from the control panel to the batteries is not included. A gas or diesel burning generator may be used with these systems, if desired, to add electricity for days when heavier electrical use than normal occurs. Wind generators may also be used in the same system to boost your power input.

All of our systems equipment components are designed to meet NEC (National Electric Code) requirements and use UL® listed system components.

• While installing the pre-engineered hardware is straightforward for anyone capable, we can only recommend that you have a qualified electrician connect the wiring. Although it is not overly complicated, the safety factor should always take precedence in proper wiring of any electrical system or appliance. A section of the NEC code is dedicated to photovoltaic systems, and another on DC wiring. The components wiring specifications are supplied from the manufacturer on each component. We are capable of designing and handling the installations of the systems we sell world-wide.
• Solar modules used in these systems produce DC current and are available in sizes from 80 to 235 watts. Each module is individually tested and labeled with a 20 or 25-year output warranty by their respective manufacturers. These solar panels can be mounted using your choice of roof, ground, or top-of-pole mounts. This hardware system and the modules it supports are rated to withstand winds up to 125 MPH and up to 1 inch hail.
• We also design complete solar electric systems using the following brands: Sharp, BP, Shell, Kyocera, and Evergreen. The life expectancy of a solar electric panel is 40+ years.

Small Solar Power Systems

The example solar electric systems listed below were primarily designed for remote cabins, boats or similar off-grid uses. For a solar or wind powered electric system specifically made for your needs dont hesitate to drop us an e-mail. We will work with your contractor or architect to develop specifications for your specific needs.  We use only the best quality UL® solar panel in yardlisted equipment. All power sources and circuits are equipped with fuses, breakers, or disconnects to help insure safety and reliability. Always follow your local building and NEC codes and the advice of your city/County electrical inspector.  To determine which system is right for you, youll need to determine what your power requirements are. See the Calculators page or let us help you. Youll also need to know the average full sun hours for your geographic location. Full sun hours are equivalent to kW/hrs/meter² on the maps...
