How Solar Works

Solar energy is the energy of the sun. Without it, life would not exist on our planet. We use the sun’s energy every day in many different ways. When we hang laundry outside to dry in the sun, we are using the sun’s heat to do work, plants use the sun’s light to make food, and decaying plants hundreds of millions of years ago produced coal, oil, and natural gas that we use today. So, even the fossil fuels that you use today are actually sunlight stored millions and millions of years ago.

A PV (Photovoltaic) Electrical System is a system that employs the energy in the sunshine. PV modules (panels) are made up of photovoltaic cells, and function much like many small appliances such as calculators. PV modules (panels) are then grouped together in an array and set outside to capture sunlight throughout the day and harness its electrical energy. This energy from solar cells can then be used to directly provide electricity to your home.

Why Invest in Solar

The cost of a Solar system includes the photovoltaic products (panels, inverters, racks, rails, cables, conduits, ikons, etc.) & labor cost for installation. Your PV system total cost will depend on several factors including the average annual daily kWh energy usage, size of system, the location in terms of longitude, latitude, azimuth & Sun radiance, energy efficiency, & other possible site related factors.
