Why Solar?

Why Solar?

Economic Development: save on utility bills, build equity, apply federal incentives to boost business

Energy Independence: distributed power, backup systems in case of disaster, keep operations running

Environmental Stewardship: clean energy alternative, meet sustainability goals and corporate mandates

how residential solar power works
1

Sunlight contains particles of energy called photons.

2

When the sun’s rays hit the solar panel, silicon inside the panel absorb the photons, forming an electrical current.

3

The direct current (DC) travels out of the panel to an inverter which changes it into the alternating current (AC) we use.

4

From the inverter the current travels to the breaker box when needed or is stored in the battery for later use.

5

From the breaker box it travels to outlets throughout the house.

6

If the grid goes down, the optional generator can provide whole home backup beyond critical loads.

7

If you have an electrical vehicle, the optional EV charging station can power your car.

8

The optional solar car port can provide a sleek alternative to traditional roof-mounted solar panels.

9

You Save money, and the world.

1

Sunlight contains particles of energy called photons

2

When the sun's rays hit the solar panel, silicon inside the panel absorbs the photons, forming an electrical current.

3

The direct current (DC) travels out of the panel to an inverter which changes it into the alternating current (AC) we use.

4

Depending on location, a transformer may be required to prevent a spike or drop in voltage.

5

Current travels to the point of interconnection within a facility, house, or property.

6

From the point of interconnection, the current travels to loads throughout the house, facility, and/or factory.

7

If the grid goes down, the optional generator or microgrid can provide backup.

8

If you have an electric vehicle, use the optional EV charging station to power your car(s).

9

The optional ground mount can provide an alternative to the traditional roof-mounted solar panels.

10

You promote a green company, save money, and save the world.
