How Solar Works

Slide
filter_1
Solar Panels

Solar panels use photovoltaic (PV) cells to turn sunlight into electricity. When sunlight hits the cells, it creates direct current (DC) power that can be used or converted for your home.

filter_2
Inverter

An inverter converts the direct current (DC) electricity generated by your solar panels into the alternating current (AC) used in your home.

Monitoring System

A monitoring system tracks your solar energy production and overall system performance. It provides real-time data to help ensure everything is working efficiently. We often recommend trusted platforms like Enphase for their reliability and detailed insights.

Utility

Your solar system stays connected to the local utility grid to supply power when the sun isn’t shining. Unless you have a battery backup, the energy your system generates isn’t stored. Instead, any excess electricity is sent back to the grid. A utility meter tracks both the energy you use and the energy your system produces.

How much can solar save you monthly?

Lock In Lower Monthly Electric

With solar, you’re trading rented electricity for a system that generates clean and renewable energy, often at a lower and more predictable cost. Thanks to more affordable equipment and flexible financing options, going solar is more accessible than ever. Whether you buy, lease, or finance, you may start seeing savings right away. Instead of paying rising utility rates each month, you’re investing in clean energy that works for you.

Key Factors To Consider

  • The amount of sunlight your roof receives
  • How much power you consume
  • Your Utility Rates
  • Applicable Incentives
  • Supportive Solar Policies
  • Hardware, Install, and Monitoring Costs

Will solar increase the value of your home?

Higher Home Value

Homes with owned solar don’t just sell – they sell for more.

Buyers see long-term savings and are willing to pay a premium when they have built in energy independence.

Lower Monthly Costs

As electricity prices continue to climb, many homeowners are seeking reliable solutions to manage their monthly expenses. Installing solar panels on your home allows you to harness renewable energy, leading to potential savings over time.
