Why Go Solar

Site Access - A well-designed PV system will operate unattended and requires minimum periodic maintenance. The savings in labor costs and travel expenses can be significant.
Modularity - A PV system can be designed for easy expansion. If your power demand could increase in future years, the ease and cost of increasing the PV power supply should be considered.
Fuel Supply - Supplying conventional fuel to the site and storing it can be much more expensive than the fuel itself. Solar energy is delivered free of charge!
Environment - PV systems create no pollution and generate no waste products when operating.
Maintenance - Any energy system requires maintenance, but experience shows that PV systems require less maintenance than other alternatives.
Durability - Most of today's PV modules are based on a proven technology that has experienced little degradation in more than 15 years of operation

Clean renewable energy

Solar electricity, known as photovoltaics (PV), is a proven means of producing electricity from the sun. Any existing electrical system can be retrofitted to be powered by solar and new construction opportunities allow for diverse utilization of a solar system to accommodate consumer preference.

According to the United States Department of Energy’s Solar Energy Technologies Program most PV module manufactures offer a 20-25 year warranty and the projected for many solar panels and the life expectancy can exceed much longer than 30 years. Solar Energy has a multitude of benefits from increasing national energy security, improving environmental quality, improving property values to saving money on electricity bills and much more. Solar is one investment you can depend on paying for itself, as well as being an environmentally sound energy choice in providing green power for your children and your grandchildren’s children. Some states, like California and North Carolina even offer a tax rebate in addition to a federal rebate for renewable energy systems. To find out what incentives your state has, click here.

Planning your system requires an understanding of some basics about the technical aspects of electrical systems. There are three different types of PV systems that you can install on your property, each with its own specialized components. Please take time to read and understand each of these systems so that you can make an informed decision regarding the right arrangement for you. These systems are Grid-Tie, Grid-Interactive, and Off-Grid.
