What is Solar PV?
Simply explained, when sunlight strikes a solar panel, the cells that comprise the module convert light into direct current (DC) electricity. This is known as the photovoltaic effect. This DC power is then converted into alternating current (AC) using additional wiring, an inverter or series of micro inverters. The solar energy produced by the pv panel installation array powers your home or business and offsets your utility electrical usage. When the sun isn’t providing any sunlight for your panels (like at night), your utility provides you with the electricity for your loads. During the day, if your system is creating more power than your home needs, the extra energy goes into your utility’s power grid. The excess amount is credited to your account and can be used later. Net metering is called this push and pull of electricity using the utility as a bank. These grid-tied PV arrays are the most frequent pv panel installation and yield the highest returns.
What We Offer
Electric Rates
How high is your current electric bill? This determines your savings over the life of
your system. The higher your rates, the
more you can save with solar.
Financial Incentives
There are significant state and federal tax programs or rebates in your area that encourage solar adoption. A business can also take advantage of depreciation tax benefits, including accelerated depreciation. Higher incentives mean lower upfront costs and a shorter payback period.
Cost
One of the largest hurdles is the upfront cost. To get over that barrier, there are great financial tools that customers can take advantage of. Many states sponsor low interest loans that are fast, easy and safe. Why continue paying your electric bill? Your new solar energy payment will be less, and green.
Technology
Quality equipment and well-designed solar arrays will produce for decades.. High quality panels, inverters and the balance of the array components are warrantied for 25 years. Ensuring your investment pays for itself quickly and continues generating significant saving year after year.
Site Characteristics
How sunny is it where you are? Which way does your roof face? What is the pitch of your roof? Is there shading? All of these factors can affect your production levels and ROI.
Property Value Increases
Solar panel system ownership tends to increase your property resale value, while third party ownership (e.g. leasing) does not. That value is only as good as the equipment, aesthetics of the install and function.
Business Benefits
Eliminate a variable expense in electricity. Going green and using solar power generates goodwill. Appeal to customers by emphasizing the distinction your organization has decided to create.
