SOLAR ENERGY

Solar Energy is clean, abundant and renewable. Installing a solar photovoltaic system can help reduce energy consumption and provide a hedge against rising electric rates.

How a Solar Energy System works:

Solar Modules are the main component. Multiple modules are connected together creating a solar array. The larger the array, the more electricity the solar energy system produces. In most cases, these arrays are affixed to the facility’s roof. Sunlight is converted into direct current (DC) power through the solar cells.

The DC power generated by the solar modules enters a power inverter that converts it to alternating current (AC) power, which is the same type of electricity that comes from the utility grid.

The AC power then goes to the electrical service panel and is distributed throughout the facility.

The electric company’s utility grid provides electricity automatically when it is needed. If the solar energy system generates more power than is needed, the utility meter passes excess power through the meter and back into the utility grid. This creates a “net-effect” where the meter actually spins backwards and you earns credit from the utility company.

Customers can take advantage of government incentives. In addition to the federal investment tax credit, state and local incentives can provide additional financial assistance.

There are many considerations before implementing a solar energy system. A proper installation requires knowledge of the many intricacies that go into installing photovoltaic power systems, such as module array design, string sizing and shading loss.
