How Solar Works
Benefits of Solar

Solar as a Financial Incentive:

  • Annualized returns – Solar systems can provide annual financial returns in excess of 15%.  When compared to savings accounts or stock portfolios, solar systems offer reliable and in some cases superior returns
  • ROI - Solar systems can pay for themselves in as little as 3 years
  • State and Federal Incentives – There are significant financial and tax incentives offered by the State and the Federal Governments.
  • Net Metering – Net metering is a program where your utility company pays you for excess power produced by your system
  • Tax free investment – All returns are tax free
Solar as a Renewable Energy:
  • Energy independence – Solar reduces reliance on foreign sources of oil and fossil fuels
  • Price Stability – The sun’s energy is FREE and doesn’t vary on demand.  Solar allows you to purchase electricity at today’s prices and protects you from skyrocketing energy prices
  • Reduce carbon footprint – Solar is an abundant renewable energy source, thus helping homes or businesses reduce their environmental footprint 
  • Blackout Prevention – Solar systems can keep homes and businesses operating during times of blackouts

1.  Solar Panels
Solar modules are usually mounted on your roof, but can also be installed on the grounds of your property or on an adjacent structure such as a garage. The panels are comprised of photovoltaic cells that convert sunlight into DC power.
2.  Inverter
The power generated from the modules is sent to an inverter which converts the DC power into AC power; “standard” household electricity identical to what you receive from the utility grid.
3.  Electrical Panel
AC power from the inverter travels to your electrical service panel or breaker box. The system is connected to your service panel through a circuit breaker and is then distributed to any electrical loads in your home.
4.  Utility Meter
Whenever your solar system provides more power than you are currently using in your home, the excess power will flow into the grid through your electric meter. This will cause your meter to run backwards earning you a credit with the utility company.
5.  Utility Grid
You remain connected to the utility grid so power is always available when you need it, even at night and during the day when your demand exceeds your solar production.
