SunPods Solar Solutions makes a prefab modular solar system that is extremely fast and easy to setup and produces up to 2.8kw of power. Each Sunpod can be fitted with  solar panels and an inverter to meet the customers needs in terms of power output and grid tie capabilities. The finished sunpod is permanently installed on site using ground anchors and carries the same warranty as a roof mount system. Sunpod solar modules are produced in a factory in the San Jose area and have excellent quality chassis/frame, wiring and completely enclosed electronics.  Factory production allows for a much higher quality build over traditional solar arrays which are built on site.  An installed  factory production solar module costs 15%- 20% less than a similar traditional solar system.  One sun pod produces enough to charge two Prius PHEV vehicles simultaneously.
