THE POWER OF RENEWABLE ENERGY IN YOUR HANDS
A solar investment shouldn't stress you out, and should ultimately save you money. With utility rates constantly rising and impossible to shop around for, it’s time to take control. Start generating your own clean, renewable energy and stop relying on unpredictable utility bills.
It's important first to understand how energy pricing works for anyone who uses utilities
Energy companies charge you based on how many kilowatt-hours (kWh) you use. A kWh measures the amount of electricity you consume, and you're charged for each unit.
For example:
Running a 1,000-watt appliance for 1 hour uses 1 kWh
Note: The price of electricity fluctuates based on demand, fuel costs, and other factors. Over time, electricity prices tend to rise, which means higher bills for you. Reduce bills by producing your own!
Solar panels absorb sunlight and convert it into electricity using special materials like silicon. This electricity the panels produce is called DC (direct current) power.
Once sunlight hits the panels, the energy is captured and transformed into DC power, which flows in a steady, one-way stream from the panels toward your home. This direct flow of energy needs to be converted into usable power for your home, which happens through an inverter.
In order to utilize this energy we must convert it into Alternating Current or AC Power
Your solar panels have captured energy in the form of DC power. The next step is to convert it into Alternating Current (AC), the type of electricity our homes use — with the help of an inverter.
There are different types of inverters, like string inverters, microinverters, and power optimizers, but they all perform the same basic function—turning DC power into AC power so your home can use the electricity from your solar panels.

The direction your roof faces is one of the most key factors—south-facing roofs receive the most sunlight. Shading from trees or nearby buildings can reduce your system’s effectiveness, and your roof’s condition and angle also play a role.
