All solar panels contain photovoltaic (PV) cells. PV cells absorb sun particles, or photons, and separate electrons from their atoms to produce direct current (DC) electricity. A solar inverter converts DC electricity into alternating current (AC) electricity, which can be used to power your home. This usable energy flows through your electrical panel and is distributed to where you need it. Unused electricity flows back to the grid through the utility meter, adding credit to your future bills.
Most homeowners find that buying a solar panel system is more beneficial than leasing. There are many financing options available, some of which offer $0 down just like a lease. Usually, the monthly payment on a loan is lower than the monthly payment on a lease. Plus, buying allows you to take advantage of the federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC), which is 26% until 2022. Buying can also increase the value of your home and simplify the sales process if you decide to move.
The short answer is: no. While your solar panels will continue to absorb sunlight and produce electricity, you will not be able to use that electricity during a power outage. That is, unless you have a battery backup system.
It’s easy. All of the solar energy systems we sell come with remote monitoring so both you and our installers can see how much energy your system is producing.
As a solar dealer, we work with all vendors to sell every solar panel on the market. Because of our unique business model, we have the ability to price match other retailers so you’re guaranteed to get the best value. Please note that we only sell black solar panels.
The decision to purchase a battery backup system depends on the homeowner’s individual needs and budget. For those who choose to include a battery backup with their solar panels, it may qualify for the 30% federal tax credit, making it a more viable option for some.
We stand behind our products and services. Every solar energy system is backed by a 30-year production guarantee, and you’re covered by the manufacturer warranties, as well.
Under most normal circumstances, there is very little or no maintenance to be done to your solar system
