HOW SOLAR WORKS
Good Morning Sunshine
Harness the power of the sun! Reduce or even eliminate your electric bill. Our energy consultants will work with you and size your system to maximize energy savings to help you achieve energy independence!
Photovoltaic cells are comprised of a semiconductor material such as silicon. In addition, boron and phosphorous are used to create conductivity within the cell and activate the movement of electrons. The electrons move across the cell when activated by the sun’s energy into the electrical circuit hooked up to the solar panel. Solar panels are either roof or ground mounted, ideally facing a southern or western orientation to maximize production.
Benefits Of Solar
Save Money
Who said solar was expensive? Finance and your new energy costs will be lower than your old electric bill. Or, purchase and get a 5 - 7 year ROI. With either option, you OWN the system and get the 30% Federal tax credit.
Reliable Power
Solar is solid state with no moving parts. It's virtually maintenance free and lasts decades, providing clean, sustainable energy for years to come. We guarantee solar production and workmanship for an industry-leading 25 years.
Clean Energy
Solar is a clean, sustainable, and renewable source of energy. Going green is no longer expensive - it actually pays you. Help both the environment and your wallet.
Save With Net Metering
When your solar system is producing more power than you are using, your meter literally spins backwards. The extra power goes to the grid, powering other buildings. Your utility “banks” this extra production for you to use later, such as during nightfall and cloudy days. This process is called “net metering”. Net metering allows you to reduce or eliminate your electricity bill. No battery storage required.
Daily Production
On a sunny day, solar production looks like a bell-shape curve. Over the course of the day, the power of the sun (irradiance), increases, peaks, then drops. Irradiance is stronger during summer months than the winter months. During the summer months, stronger irradiance, in tandem with with longer days, causes peak production and total solar production to be at its highest.
