Information About Solar-Powered Systems And Installations

Before offering solar-powered recommendations for your home, we will audit your home’s energy usage. Then we can accurately determine the products that will decrease or eliminate your energy bill.

These work by absorbing sunlight which generates direct current (DC) energy and then converts it into alternating current (AC) energy. The usable AC energy runs from an inverter to your home’s breaker box and is then distributed accordingly. Now you have electricity powering your home and flowing through appliances such as water heaters and HVAC systems. Unused solar power can be sent to your utility company for credit.

For the average home owner the installation process is typically completed in one day. The process to get to installation will typically look like this: Free energy consultation, signed contracts, site survey to get precise measurements and photos needed, design, permitting for utility company and local AHJ, construction, inspections, permission to operate.
