It can accommodate panels from Sharp and Sanyo and potentially others.   System output will depend on the panels you choose to install, but given an effective area of approximately 15 x 15(300 sq ft), we believe we can get about a 3kw system on it using Sanyo HIT Power 205 panels(16.4 watts per sq/ft).   That about $1700 per year in electricity at current rates.   A typical unit that is large enough for two cars that is about 17' x 17'.   There are larger sizes available, up to 4 cars wide. http://www.exteriorworld.jp/english/carport/mts/index.html

...Red also increases the appetite, which explains why it is used so often in restaurants, and why it can be a good choice for a formal dining room.


...For this reason, it is a good paint color to use in poorly lit foyers or dark hallways.


Blue, which is part of the cool color palette, makes us feel calm and tranquil, so it is ideal for use in bedrooms.   But since blue works as an appetite suppressant (perhaps because there are few blue foods) it is not the best option for a dining room ... unless you're on a diet.


...Light greens are ideal for bedrooms and living rooms; midtones are good for kitchens and dining rooms (many foods are green). 

...Many adults dislike purples, but are fond of the rose family, which can work in many rooms, including dining rooms, bedrooms and libraries.   Young children, on the other hand, respond favorably to violet, so this color can be used successfully in children's bedrooms and play areas.
