The solar “cell” is the basic building block of PV technology. Solar cells are wired together to form a PV module. PV systems begin with the solar module. Modules gather solar energy in the form of sunlight and <br />convert it into direct current (DC) electricity. The more sunlight they receive, the more electricity they produce. Solar modules are the heart of the PV system. In essence, they are the power generators. To convert DC power to alternate current (AC) power, the type of electricity used in your home, a device called an inverter is used. Depending upon the size of the PV system, inverters may be mounted by the PV manufacturer right on the back of a PV module. Inverters may also be wall-mounted separately from the PV system, but within close proximity to the solar panels. This type of inverter’s location can be in the basement, attic or garage. If an excess of electricity is produced through the PV system, the power will flow back through your meter for distribution back to the grid system. This is known as “net metering\".</p>		\n			<a href=\"#\" role=\"button\">\n						How does net-metering work\n					</a>\n		<p>Your electric meter spins forward when electricity is flowing from your utility provider into your home. The meter spins backward when power is flowing from your home back to the utility provider. That is, if more electricity is generated through a PV system than your home requires, the excess energy flows back to the provider’s electric grid system, which turns your electric meter backward. At the end of the month, you are billed only for net consumption - the amount of electricity consumed less the amount of electricity distributed back to your utility provider’s grid.</p>		\n			<a href=\"#\" role=\"button\">\n						What does a typical PV panel looks like \n					</a>\n		<p>A typical PV panel consists of solar cells connected electrically to form a module that can measure two to four feet wide and four to six feet long. Some solar modules look just like traditional roof shingles. Many interconnected PV modules are called an array.</p>		\n			<a href=\"#\" role=\"button\">\n						What happens if the sun doesn\'t shine?\n					</a>\n		<p>Your PV system will continue to produce electricity during cloudy weather, although the total amount will be reduced. Power will automatically be provided through your utility provider at night or during inclement weather.</p>		\n			<a href=\"#\" role=\"button\">\n						How does shading affect my PV system?\n					</a>\n		<p>Proper placement of your Photo Voltaic (PV) system is critical to the success of the PV systems output. Having even one cell in a PV module in the shade, especially during the best sun hours of the day, can decrease the output for the entire module and possibly the entire system. Since the shaded cell is not producing any moving electrons, it acts like an open circuit to the entire string. This is similar to having one Christmas tree light burned out in a string of lights. No current can flow! When looking to place your PV system, please watch for any type of shading. Shading can include trees, chimneys, TV <br />antennas/satellite dishes, dormers of the house.</p><p>Step 1- Review your roof for good access to the sun. Does the area for PV system receive full sunlight with no shading?</p><p>Step 2- If you have 100% of sunlight on a south-facing roof, you have an ideal roof for PV, although east and west-facing roofs are very good also. If there is shading on your roof, consult with a person trained on PV.</p>		\n			<a href=\"#\" role=\"button\">\n						Is my home right for a PV system?\n					</a>\n		<p>A PV system needs unobstructed access to the sun’s rays for most, or all of the day, throughout the year. PV panels are relatively unaffected by changing weather. In fact, some PV cells actually work better at colder temperatures. PV modules are angled to catch the sun, not snow, so any snow that does collect melts quickly. To maximize the energy production of photovoltaic electricity, PV systems are installed on a southern exposed roof and mounted parallel with the roof at a 35 degree roof pitch with no shading. However, roofs that face east or west may also be acceptable. PV panels should have their surfaces exposed to the sun’s rays for most or all of the day, with minimal or no shadows from trees, chimneys and gables between 9 AM and 4 PM.</p><p>Home Energy Efficiency and PV: An energy efficient home means you can install less PV. Every dollar on energy efficiency in the home saves $20 on your PV electric panels. To become energy efficient in the home, use compact fluorescent light bulbs, which use 75% less energy than the equivalent incandescent. A 15 watt compact fluorescent will produce as much light as a 60 watt incandescent. Also look for energy saving appliances (clothes washers, refrigerators, room A/C, dishwashers.

A typical two-kilowatt system could occupy approximately 200 square feet.

Considering the state incentive program along with the state and federal tax credit program, have greatly reduced the cost of PV ownership. PV system reliability and durability are outstanding typical PV systems may last 40 years with minimal maintenance.</p>		\n			<a href=\"#\" role=\"button\">\n						How does solar electricity or \"PV\" works?\n					</a>\n		<p>Photo-voltaic, also known as “PV,” produce electricity from the sun. The solar “cell” is the basic building block of PV technology. Solar cells are wired together to form a PV module. PV systems begin with the solar module. Modules gather solar energy in the form of sunlight and <br />convert it into direct current (DC) electricity. The more sunlight they receive, the more electricity they produce. Solar modules are the heart of the PV system. In essence, they are the power generators. To convert DC power to alternate current (AC) power, the type of electricity used in your home, a device called an inverter is used. Depending upon the size of the PV system, inverters may be mounted by the PV manufacturer right on the back of a PV module. Inverters may also be wall-mounted separately from the PV system, but within close proximity to the solar panels. This type of inverter’s location can be in the basement, attic or garage. If an excess of electricity is produced through the PV system, the power will flow back through your meter for distribution back to the grid system. This is known as “net metering\".</p>		\n			<a href=\"#\" role=\"button\">\n						How does net-metering work\n					</a>\n		<p>Your electric meter spins forward when electricity is flowing from your utility provider into your home. The meter spins backward when power is flowing from your home back to the utility provider. That is, if more electricity is generated through a PV system than your home requires, the excess energy flows back to the provider’s electric grid system, which turns your electric meter backward. At the end of the month, you are billed only for net consumption - the amount of electricity consumed less the amount of electricity distributed back to your utility provider’s grid.</p>		\n			<a href=\"#\" role=\"button\">\n						What does a typical PV panel looks like \n					</a>\n		<p>A typical PV panel consists of solar cells connected electrically to form a module that can measure two to four feet wide and four to six feet long. Some solar modules look just like traditional roof shingles. Many interconnected PV modules are called an array.</p>		\n			<a href=\"#\" role=\"button\">\n						What happens if the sun doesn\'t shine?\n					</a>\n		<p>Your PV system will continue to produce electricity during cloudy weather, although the total amount will be reduced. Power will automatically be provided through your utility provider at night or during inclement weather.</p>		\n			<a href=\"#\" role=\"button\">\n						How does shading affect my PV system?\n					</a>\n		<p>Proper placement of your Photo Voltaic (PV) system is critical to the success of the PV systems output. Having even one cell in a PV module in the shade, especially during the best sun hours of the day, can decrease the output for the entire module and possibly the entire system. Since the shaded cell is not producing any moving electrons, it acts like an open circuit to the entire string. This is similar to having one Christmas tree light burned out in a string of lights. No current can flow! When looking to place your PV system, please watch for any type of shading. Shading can include trees, chimneys, TV <br />antennas/satellite dishes, dormers of the house.</p><p>Step 1- Review your roof for good access to the sun. Does the area for PV system receive full sunlight with no shading?</p><p>Step 2- If you have 100% of sunlight on a south-facing roof, you have an ideal roof for PV, although east and west-facing roofs are very good also. If there is shading on your roof, consult with a person trained on PV.</p>		\n			<a href=\"#\" role=\"button\">\n						Is my home right for a PV system?\n					</a>\n		<p>A PV system needs unobstructed access to the sun’s rays for most, or all of the day, throughout the year. PV panels are relatively unaffected by changing weather. In fact, some PV cells actually work better at colder temperatures. PV modules are angled to catch the sun, not snow, so any snow that does collect melts quickly. To maximize the energy production of photovoltaic electricity, PV systems are installed on a southern exposed roof and mounted parallel with the roof at a 35 degree roof pitch with no shading. However, roofs that face east or west may also be acceptable. PV panels should have their surfaces exposed to the sun’s rays for most or all of the day, with minimal or no shadows from trees, chimneys and gables between 9 AM and 4 PM.</p><p>Home Energy Efficiency and PV: An energy efficient home means you can install less PV. Every dollar on energy efficiency in the home saves $20 on your PV electric panels. To become energy efficient in the home, use compact fluorescent light bulbs, which use 75% less energy than the equivalent incandescent. A 15 watt compact fluorescent will produce as much light as a 60 watt incandescent. Also look for energy saving appliances (clothes washers, refrigerators, room A/C, dishwashers. Refrigerators before 1990 are power hogs!</p>		\n			<a href=\"#\" role=\"button\">\n						Can my home accommodate a PV system?\n					</a>\n		<p>The amount of space needed by a PV system is based on the output of the PV system and the type of PV system installed. Most residential systems require as little as 50 square feet (for a small “starter” system) up to as much as 1,000 square feet for larger systems. A typical two-kilowatt system could occupy approximately 200 square feet. If your location limits the physical size of your system, you may want to install a system that uses more efficient PV modules. Greater efficiency means that the module uses less surface area to convert sunlight into a given amount of electric power.</p>		\n			<a href=\"#\" role=\"button\">\n						Estimated Roof Area Needed in Square Feet\n					</a>\n		<table border=\"0\" width=\"85%\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\"><tbody><tr><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"108\"><u>PV Module Efficiency*</u></td><td colspan=\"8\" bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"382\">PV Capacity Rating, watts (in bold)</td></tr><tr><td valign=\"top\" bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"108\"> </td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"45\">100</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"45\">250</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"45\">500</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"48\">1,000</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"48\">2,000</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"48\">4,000</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"50\">10,000</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"52\">100,000</td></tr><tr><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"108\"><u>4</u></td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"45\">30</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"45\">75</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"45\">150</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"48\">300</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"48\">600</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"48\">1,200</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"50\">3,000</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"52\">30,000</td></tr><tr><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"108\"><u>8</u></td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"45\">15</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"45\">38</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"45\">75</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"48\">150</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"48\">300</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"48\">600</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"50\">1,500</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"52\">15,000</td></tr><tr><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"108\"><u>12</u></td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"45\">10</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"45\">25</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"45\">50</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"48\">100</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"48\">200</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"48\">400</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"50\">1,000</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"52\">10,000</td></tr><tr><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"108\"><u>16</u></td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"45\">8</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"45\">20</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"45\">40</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"48\">80</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"48\">160</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"48\">320</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"50\">800</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"52\">8,000</td></tr></tbody></table><p>* Although the efficiency (percentage of sunlight converted to electrical energy) varies with different PV Modules available today, higher-efficiency modules typically cost more.

To convert DC power to alternate current (AC) power, the type of electricity used in your home, a device called an inverter is used. Depending upon the size of the PV system, inverters may be mounted by the PV manufacturer right on the back of a PV module. Inverters may also be wall-mounted separately from the PV system, but within close proximity to the solar panels. This type of inverter’s location can be in the basement, attic or garage. If an excess of electricity is produced through the PV system, the power will flow back through your meter for distribution back to the grid system. This is known as “net metering\".</p>		\n			<a href=\"#\" role=\"button\">\n						How does net-metering work\n					</a>\n		<p>Your electric meter spins forward when electricity is flowing from your utility provider into your home. The meter spins backward when power is flowing from your home back to the utility provider. That is, if more electricity is generated through a PV system than your home requires, the excess energy flows back to the provider’s electric grid system, which turns your electric meter backward. At the end of the month, you are billed only for net consumption - the amount of electricity consumed less the amount of electricity distributed back to your utility provider’s grid.</p>		\n			<a href=\"#\" role=\"button\">\n						What does a typical PV panel looks like \n					</a>\n		<p>A typical PV panel consists of solar cells connected electrically to form a module that can measure two to four feet wide and four to six feet long. Some solar modules look just like traditional roof shingles. Many interconnected PV modules are called an array.</p>		\n			<a href=\"#\" role=\"button\">\n						What happens if the sun doesn\'t shine?\n					</a>\n		<p>Your PV system will continue to produce electricity during cloudy weather, although the total amount will be reduced.

Having even one cell in a PV module in the shade, especially during the best sun hours of the day, can decrease the output for the entire module and possibly the entire system. Since the shaded cell is not producing any moving electrons, it acts like an open circuit to the entire string. This is similar to having one Christmas tree light burned out in a string of lights. No current can flow! When looking to place your PV system, please watch for any type of shading. Shading can include trees, chimneys, TV <br />antennas/satellite dishes, dormers of the house.</p><p>Step 1- Review your roof for good access to the sun. Does the area for PV system receive full sunlight with no shading?</p><p>Step 2- If you have 100% of sunlight on a south-facing roof, you have an ideal roof for PV, although east and west-facing roofs are very good also. If there is shading on your roof, consult with a person trained on PV.</p>		\n			<a href=\"#\" role=\"button\">\n						Is my home right for a PV system?\n					</a>\n		<p>A PV system needs unobstructed access to the sun’s rays for most, or all of the day, throughout the year. PV panels are relatively unaffected by changing weather. In fact, some PV cells actually work better at colder temperatures. PV modules are angled to catch the sun, not snow, so any snow that does collect melts quickly. To maximize the energy production of photovoltaic electricity, PV systems are installed on a southern exposed roof and mounted parallel with the roof at a 35 degree roof pitch with no shading. However, roofs that face east or west may also be acceptable. PV panels should have their surfaces exposed to the sun’s rays for most or all of the day, with minimal or no shadows from trees, chimneys and gables between 9 AM and 4 PM.</p><p>Home Energy Efficiency and PV: An energy efficient home means you can install less PV. Every dollar on energy efficiency in the home saves $20 on your PV electric panels. To become energy efficient in the home, use compact fluorescent light bulbs, which use 75% less energy than the equivalent incandescent. A 15 watt compact fluorescent will produce as much light as a 60 watt incandescent. Also look for energy saving appliances (clothes washers, refrigerators, room A/C, dishwashers. Refrigerators before 1990 are power hogs!</p>		\n			<a href=\"#\" role=\"button\">\n						Can my home accommodate a PV system?\n					</a>\n		<p>The amount of space needed by a PV system is based on the output of the PV system and the type of PV system installed. Most residential systems require as little as 50 square feet (for a small “starter” system) up to as much as 1,000 square feet for larger systems. A typical two-kilowatt system could occupy approximately 200 square feet. If your location limits the physical size of your system, you may want to install a system that uses more efficient PV modules. Greater efficiency means that the module uses less surface area to convert sunlight into a given amount of electric power.</p>		\n			<a href=\"#\" role=\"button\">\n						Estimated Roof Area Needed in Square Feet\n					</a>\n		<table border=\"0\" width=\"85%\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\"><tbody><tr><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"108\"><u>PV Module Efficiency*</u></td><td colspan=\"8\" bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"382\">PV Capacity Rating, watts (in bold)</td></tr><tr><td valign=\"top\" bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"108\"> </td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"45\">100</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"45\">250</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"45\">500</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"48\">1,000</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"48\">2,000</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"48\">4,000</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"50\">10,000</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"52\">100,000</td></tr><tr><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"108\"><u>4</u></td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"45\">30</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"45\">75</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"45\">150</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"48\">300</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"48\">600</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"48\">1,200</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"50\">3,000</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"52\">30,000</td></tr><tr><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"108\"><u>8</u></td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"45\">15</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"45\">38</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"45\">75</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"48\">150</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"48\">300</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"48\">600</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"50\">1,500</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"52\">15,000</td></tr><tr><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"108\"><u>12</u></td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"45\">10</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"45\">25</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"45\">50</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"48\">100</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"48\">200</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"48\">400</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"50\">1,000</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"52\">10,000</td></tr><tr><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"108\"><u>16</u></td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"45\">8</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"45\">20</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"45\">40</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"48\">80</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"48\">160</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"48\">320</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"50\">800</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"52\">8,000</td></tr></tbody></table><p>* Although the efficiency (percentage of sunlight converted to electrical energy) varies with different PV Modules available today, higher-efficiency modules typically cost more.

The solar “cell” is the basic building block of PV technology. Solar cells are wired together to form a PV module. PV systems begin with the solar module. Modules gather solar energy in the form of sunlight and <br />convert it into direct current (DC) electricity. The more sunlight they receive, the more electricity they produce. Solar modules are the heart of the PV system. In essence, they are the power generators. To convert DC power to alternate current (AC) power, the type of electricity used in your home, a device called an inverter is used. Depending upon the size of the PV system, inverters may be mounted by the PV manufacturer right on the back of a PV module. Inverters may also be wall-mounted separately from the PV system, but within close proximity to the solar panels. This type of inverter’s location can be in the basement, attic or garage. If an excess of electricity is produced through the PV system, the power will flow back through your meter for distribution back to the grid system. This is known as “net metering\".</p>		\n			<a href=\"#\" role=\"button\">\n						How does net-metering work\n					</a>\n		<p>Your electric meter spins forward when electricity is flowing from your utility provider into your home. The meter spins backward when power is flowing from your home back to the utility provider. That is, if more electricity is generated through a PV system than your home requires, the excess energy flows back to the provider’s electric grid system, which turns your electric meter backward. At the end of the month, you are billed only for net consumption - the amount of electricity consumed less the amount of electricity distributed back to your utility provider’s grid.</p>		\n			<a href=\"#\" role=\"button\">\n						What does a typical PV panel looks like \n					</a>\n		<p>A typical PV panel consists of solar cells connected electrically to form a module that can measure two to four feet wide and four to six feet long.

Having even one cell in a PV module in the shade, especially during the best sun hours of the day, can decrease the output for the entire module and possibly the entire system. Since the shaded cell is not producing any moving electrons, it acts like an open circuit to the entire string. This is similar to having one Christmas tree light burned out in a string of lights.

Considering the state incentive program along with the state and federal tax credit program, have greatly reduced the cost of PV ownership. PV system reliability and durability are outstanding typical PV systems may last 40 years with minimal maintenance.</p>		\n			<a href=\"#\" role=\"button\">\n						How does solar electricity or \"PV\" works?\n					</a>\n		<p>Photo-voltaic, also known as “PV,” produce electricity from the sun. The solar “cell” is the basic building block of PV technology. Solar cells are wired together to form a PV module. PV systems begin with the solar module. Modules gather solar energy in the form of sunlight and <br />convert it into direct current (DC) electricity. The more sunlight they receive, the more electricity they produce. Solar modules are the heart of the PV system. In essence, they are the power generators. To convert DC power to alternate current (AC) power, the type of electricity used in your home, a device called an inverter is used. Depending upon the size of the PV system, inverters may be mounted by the PV manufacturer right on the back of a PV module. Inverters may also be wall-mounted separately from the PV system, but within close proximity to the solar panels. This type of inverter’s location can be in the basement, attic or garage. If an excess of electricity is produced through the PV system, the power will flow back through your meter for distribution back to the grid system. This is known as “net metering\".</p>		\n			<a href=\"#\" role=\"button\">\n						How does net-metering work\n					</a>\n		<p>Your electric meter spins forward when electricity is flowing from your utility provider into your home. The meter spins backward when power is flowing from your home back to the utility provider. That is, if more electricity is generated through a PV system than your home requires, the excess energy flows back to the provider’s electric grid system, which turns your electric meter backward. At the end of the month, you are billed only for net consumption - the amount of electricity consumed less the amount of electricity distributed back to your utility provider’s grid.</p>		\n			<a href=\"#\" role=\"button\">\n						What does a typical PV panel looks like \n					</a>\n		<p>A typical PV panel consists of solar cells connected electrically to form a module that can measure two to four feet wide and four to six feet long. Some solar modules look just like traditional roof shingles. Many interconnected PV modules are called an array.</p>		\n			<a href=\"#\" role=\"button\">\n						What happens if the sun doesn\'t shine?\n					</a>\n		<p>Your PV system will continue to produce electricity during cloudy weather, although the total amount will be reduced. Power will automatically be provided through your utility provider at night or during inclement weather.</p>		\n			<a href=\"#\" role=\"button\">\n						How does shading affect my PV system?\n					</a>\n		<p>Proper placement of your Photo Voltaic (PV) system is critical to the success of the PV systems output. Having even one cell in a PV module in the shade, especially during the best sun hours of the day, can decrease the output for the entire module and possibly the entire system. Since the shaded cell is not producing any moving electrons, it acts like an open circuit to the entire string. This is similar to having one Christmas tree light burned out in a string of lights. No current can flow! When looking to place your PV system, please watch for any type of shading. Shading can include trees, chimneys, TV <br />antennas/satellite dishes, dormers of the house.</p><p>Step 1- Review your roof for good access to the sun. Does the area for PV system receive full sunlight with no shading?</p><p>Step 2- If you have 100% of sunlight on a south-facing roof, you have an ideal roof for PV, although east and west-facing roofs are very good also. If there is shading on your roof, consult with a person trained on PV.</p>		\n			<a href=\"#\" role=\"button\">\n						Is my home right for a PV system?\n					</a>\n		<p>A PV system needs unobstructed access to the sun’s rays for most, or all of the day, throughout the year. PV panels are relatively unaffected by changing weather. In fact, some PV cells actually work better at colder temperatures. PV modules are angled to catch the sun, not snow, so any snow that does collect melts quickly. To maximize the energy production of photovoltaic electricity, PV systems are installed on a southern exposed roof and mounted parallel with the roof at a 35 degree roof pitch with no shading. However, roofs that face east or west may also be acceptable. PV panels should have their surfaces exposed to the sun’s rays for most or all of the day, with minimal or no shadows from trees, chimneys and gables between 9 AM and 4 PM.</p><p>Home Energy Efficiency and PV: An energy efficient home means you can install less PV. Every dollar on energy efficiency in the home saves $20 on your PV electric panels. To become energy efficient in the home, use compact fluorescent light bulbs, which use 75% less energy than the equivalent incandescent. A 15 watt compact fluorescent will produce as much light as a 60 watt incandescent. Also look for energy saving appliances (clothes washers, refrigerators, room A/C, dishwashers. Refrigerators before 1990 are power hogs!</p>		\n			<a href=\"#\" role=\"button\">\n						Can my home accommodate a PV system?\n					</a>\n		<p>The amount of space needed by a PV system is based on the output of the PV system and the type of PV system installed. Most residential systems require as little as 50 square feet (for a small “starter” system) up to as much as 1,000 square feet for larger systems. A typical two-kilowatt system could occupy approximately 200 square feet. If your location limits the physical size of your system, you may want to install a system that uses more efficient PV modules.

PV system reliability and durability are outstanding typical PV systems may last 40 years with minimal maintenance.</p>		\n			<a href=\"#\" role=\"button\">\n						How does solar electricity or \"PV\" works?\n					</a>\n		<p>Photo-voltaic, also known as “PV,” produce electricity from the sun. The solar “cell” is the basic building block of PV technology. Solar cells are wired together to form a PV module. PV systems begin with the solar module. Modules gather solar energy in the form of sunlight and <br />convert it into direct current (DC) electricity. The more sunlight they receive, the more electricity they produce. Solar modules are the heart of the PV system. In essence, they are the power generators. To convert DC power to alternate current (AC) power, the type of electricity used in your home, a device called an inverter is used. Depending upon the size of the PV system, inverters may be mounted by the PV manufacturer right on the back of a PV module. Inverters may also be wall-mounted separately from the PV system, but within close proximity to the solar panels. This type of inverter’s location can be in the basement, attic or garage. If an excess of electricity is produced through the PV system, the power will flow back through your meter for distribution back to the grid system. This is known as “net metering\".</p>		\n			<a href=\"#\" role=\"button\">\n						How does net-metering work\n					</a>\n		<p>Your electric meter spins forward when electricity is flowing from your utility provider into your home. The meter spins backward when power is flowing from your home back to the utility provider. That is, if more electricity is generated through a PV system than your home requires, the excess energy flows back to the provider’s electric grid system, which turns your electric meter backward. At the end of the month, you are billed only for net consumption - the amount of electricity consumed less the amount of electricity distributed back to your utility provider’s grid.</p>		\n			<a href=\"#\" role=\"button\">\n						What does a typical PV panel looks like \n					</a>\n		<p>A typical PV panel consists of solar cells connected electrically to form a module that can measure two to four feet wide and four to six feet long. Some solar modules look just like traditional roof shingles. Many interconnected PV modules are called an array.</p>		\n			<a href=\"#\" role=\"button\">\n						What happens if the sun doesn\'t shine?\n					</a>\n		<p>Your PV system will continue to produce electricity during cloudy weather, although the total amount will be reduced. Power will automatically be provided through your utility provider at night or during inclement weather.</p>		\n			<a href=\"#\" role=\"button\">\n						How does shading affect my PV system?\n					</a>\n		<p>Proper placement of your Photo Voltaic (PV) system is critical to the success of the PV systems output. Having even one cell in a PV module in the shade, especially during the best sun hours of the day, can decrease the output for the entire module and possibly the entire system. Since the shaded cell is not producing any moving electrons, it acts like an open circuit to the entire string. This is similar to having one Christmas tree light burned out in a string of lights. No current can flow! When looking to place your PV system, please watch for any type of shading. Shading can include trees, chimneys, TV <br />antennas/satellite dishes, dormers of the house.</p><p>Step 1- Review your roof for good access to the sun. Does the area for PV system receive full sunlight with no shading?</p><p>Step 2- If you have 100% of sunlight on a south-facing roof, you have an ideal roof for PV, although east and west-facing roofs are very good also. If there is shading on your roof, consult with a person trained on PV.</p>		\n			<a href=\"#\" role=\"button\">\n						Is my home right for a PV system?\n					</a>\n		<p>A PV system needs unobstructed access to the sun’s rays for most, or all of the day, throughout the year. PV panels are relatively unaffected by changing weather. In fact, some PV cells actually work better at colder temperatures. PV modules are angled to catch the sun, not snow, so any snow that does collect melts quickly. To maximize the energy production of photovoltaic electricity, PV systems are installed on a southern exposed roof and mounted parallel with the roof at a 35 degree roof pitch with no shading. However, roofs that face east or west may also be acceptable. PV panels should have their surfaces exposed to the sun’s rays for most or all of the day, with minimal or no shadows from trees, chimneys and gables between 9 AM and 4 PM.</p><p>Home Energy Efficiency and PV: An energy efficient home means you can install less PV. Every dollar on energy efficiency in the home saves $20 on your PV electric panels. To become energy efficient in the home, use compact fluorescent light bulbs, which use 75% less energy than the equivalent incandescent. A 15 watt compact fluorescent will produce as much light as a 60 watt incandescent. Also look for energy saving appliances (clothes washers, refrigerators, room A/C, dishwashers. Refrigerators before 1990 are power hogs!</p>		\n			<a href=\"#\" role=\"button\">\n						Can my home accommodate a PV system?\n					</a>\n		<p>The amount of space needed by a PV system is based on the output of the PV system and the type of PV system installed. Most residential systems require as little as 50 square feet (for a small “starter” system) up to as much as 1,000 square feet for larger systems. A typical two-kilowatt system could occupy approximately 200 square feet. If your location limits the physical size of your system, you may want to install a system that uses more efficient PV modules.

Greater efficiency means that the module uses less surface area to convert sunlight into a given amount of electric power.</p>		\n			<a href=\"#\" role=\"button\">\n						Estimated Roof Area Needed in Square Feet\n					</a>\n		<table border=\"0\" width=\"85%\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\"><tbody><tr><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"108\"><u>PV Module Efficiency*</u></td><td colspan=\"8\" bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"382\">PV Capacity Rating, watts (in bold)</td></tr><tr><td valign=\"top\" bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"108\"> </td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"45\">100</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"45\">250</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"45\">500</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"48\">1,000</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"48\">2,000</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"48\">4,000</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"50\">10,000</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"52\">100,000</td></tr><tr><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"108\"><u>4</u></td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"45\">30</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"45\">75</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"45\">150</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"48\">300</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"48\">600</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"48\">1,200</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"50\">3,000</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"52\">30,000</td></tr><tr><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"108\"><u>8</u></td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"45\">15</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"45\">38</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"45\">75</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"48\">150</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"48\">300</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"48\">600</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"50\">1,500</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"52\">15,000</td></tr><tr><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"108\"><u>12</u></td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"45\">10</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"45\">25</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"45\">50</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"48\">100</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"48\">200</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"48\">400</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"50\">1,000</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"52\">10,000</td></tr><tr><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"108\"><u>16</u></td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"45\">8</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"45\">20</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"45\">40</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"48\">80</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"48\">160</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"48\">320</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"50\">800</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"52\">8,000</td></tr></tbody></table><p>* Although the efficiency (percentage of sunlight converted to electrical energy) varies with different PV Modules available today, higher-efficiency modules typically cost more. So, a less efficient system is not necessarily less cost-effective. - The Vermont Renewable Energy Resource Center.</p>		\n			<a href=\"#\" role=\"button\">\n						How much PV will I need?\n					</a>\n		<p>As a starting point, you might consider how much of your present electricity needs you would like to meet with your PV system. For example, suppose that you would like to meet 50 percent of your electricity needs with your PV system. You could work with your PV provider to examine past electric bills and determine the size of the PV system needed to achieve that goal.</p><p>You can contact your local utility provider and request the total electricity usage, measured in kilowatt-hours, for your household over the last 12 months (or consult your electric bills if you save them.). Ask your PV provider how much your new PV system will produce on an annual basis (also measured in kilowatt-hours) and compare that number to your annual electric demand to get an idea of how much you will save.</p>		\n			<a href=\"#\" role=\"button\">\n						Calculating Electricity Bill Savings for a Net-Metered PV System\n					</a>\n		<p><strong>Energy From the PV System</strong><br />Determine the size of your PV system in kilowatts (kW). This value represents the \"kW of PV\" input for the equations below. Based on geographic location, the \"Energy Production <br />Factor\" is about 1,900. To estimate the annual energy produced by your system, use the following equation: Energy from the PV system = (kW of PV ) x (Energy Production Factor) = kWh/year Divide this number by twelve if you want to determine your estimated monthly energy reduction.</p><p><strong>Energy Bill Savings</strong><br />To estimate the annual energy bill savings from your system, use the following equation: Energy bill savings = (Annual kWh/year ) x (Residential Rate) = $/year saved (The residential rate in the above equation should be in dollars per kWh; for example, the rate of 17 cents for kWh is input as $0.17/kWh.)</p><p>For example, a 2 kW PV system (assuming a residential rate of .17 cents per kWh) <br />would provide the following: Energy from the PV system = 2kW x 1,900 = 3,800 kWh/year.<br />Energy Bill Savings = 3,800 kWh/year x $.17/kWh = $646.00.<img src=\"https://mehrsolar.com/images/soluti1.gif\" alt=\"two\" /></p><p> </p><p>Note: The uncertainty of the contoured values is generally ±10%. In mountainous and other areas of complex terrain, the uncertainty may be higher.</p><p> </p>		\n			<a href=\"#\" role=\"button\">\n						Do I need to be concerned with the condition of my existing roof?\n					</a>\n		<p>A PV system can be installed on any well-structured roof. Typically asphalt shingles are easiest to work with, while slate is the most difficult. If your roof is older and needs to be replaced in the very near future, you may want to replace it at the time the PV system is installed to avoid the future cost of removing and reinstalling your PV system. PV systems are also available that integrate PV cells into the roofing materials themselves. This allows the roof itself to act as the PV collecting device and serves as an excellent option when replacing a roof or designing and/or building anew home. One benefit of an integrated PV system is its ability to offset the cost of roofing materials.</p>		\n			<a href=\"#\" role=\"button\">\n						How much does a PV system cost?\n					</a>\n		<p>The total cost of a PV system includes the PV system and installation. Your PV system’s cost will depend on a number of factors, including system size and the energy efficiency of your home, whether the home is under construction and whether the PV is integrated into the roof or mounted on top of an existing roof. The cost also varies depending on the PV system rating, size, manufacturer, retailer and installer. Small-scaled PV systems with built-in inverters that produce about 600 watts of power may cost about $10 per watt ($6,000). These small systems will offset only a small fraction of your electricity bill. A 2-kilowatt system that will offset the needs of a very energy-efficiency home may cost $8 to $10 per watt ($16,000-$20,000). At the high end, a 10-kilowatt system that will completely offset the energy needs of many conventional homes may cost $7 to $8 per watt ($70,000-$80,000). These prices of course, are just rough estimates, and your costs will depend on your system\'s configuration, your equipment options and other factors.</p><p>Remember, the state incentives can significantly reduce the cost of purchasing a PV system. <br />In addition, the state and federal tax credit can reduce your overall costs much further.</p>','FAQ','','inherit','closed','closed','','757-revision-v1','','','2022-01-09 15:55:24','2022-01-09 15:55:24','',757,'https://mehrsolar.com/?p=900',0,'revision','',0),(901,1,'2022-01-09 16:00:24','2022-01-09 16:00:24','<style>/*!

No need to remove your existing boiler;</p><p><strong>*Availability</strong>: hot water throughout the year, the system works all year round, though you\'ll need to heat the water further with a boiler or immersion heater during the winter months;</p><p><strong>*Low Maintenance</strong>: maintenance costs for SWH systems are generally very low. Most solar water heating systems come with a five-year or ten-year warranty &amp; require little to no maintenance;</p><p><strong>*Impact</strong>: cut your carbon footprint: solar hot water is a green, renewable heating system and can reduce your carbon dioxide emissions, reducing harmful greenhouse gas emissions.</p>		\n			<h2>Heating of swimming pools and &amp; or jacuzzis  </h2>		\n		<p>Pool or Jacuzzi covering systems floating atop the water and separate solar thermal collectors may be used for pool &amp; Jacuzzi heating. Pool covering systems, whether solid sheets or floating disks, act as solar collectors and provide pool heating benefits which, depending on climate, may either supplement the solar thermal collectors discussed below or make them unnecessary.</p><p>Solar thermal collectors for non-potable pool water use are often made of plastic. Pool water, mildly corrosive due to chlorine, is circulated through the panels using the existing pool filter or supplemental pump. In mild environments, unglazed plastic collectors are more efficient as a direct system. In cold or windy environments evacuated tubes or flat plates in an indirect configuration do not have pool water pumped through them, they are used in conjunction with a heat exchanger that transfers the heat to pool water causing less corrosion.</p><p>A fairly simple differential temperature controller is used to direct the water to the panels or heat exchanger either by turning a valve or operating the pump. Once the pool water has reached the required temperature, a diverter valve is used to return pool water directly to the pool without heating. Many systems are configured as drain-back systems where water drains into the pool when the water pump is switched off.</p><p>The collector panels are usually mounted on a nearby roof, or ground-mounted on a tilted rack. Due to the low-temperature difference between the air and the water, the panels are often formed, collectors or unglazed flat plate collectors. A simple rule-of-thumb for the required panel area needed is 50% of the pool\'s surface area. This is for areas where pools are used in the summer season only, not year-round. Adding solar collectors to a conventional outdoor pool, in a cold climate, can typically extend the pool\'s comfortable usage by some months or more if an insulating pool cover is also used. An active solar energy system analysis program may be used to optimize the solar pool heating system before it is built.</p>','Solar Thermal','','publish','closed','closed','','solar-thermal','','','2022-03-02 12:46:09','2022-03-02 12:46:09','',904,'https://mehrsolar.com/?page_id=910',0,'page','',0),(911,1,'2022-01-09 16:15:56','2022-01-09 16:15:56','','Solar Thermal','','inherit','closed','closed','','910-revision-v1','','','2022-01-09 16:15:56','2022-01-09 16:15:56','',910,'https://mehrsolar.com/?p=911',0,'revision','',0),(912,1,'2022-01-09 16:16:27','2022-01-09 16:16:27','<style>/*! elementor - v3.5.5 - 03-02-2022 */\n.elementor-widget-image{text-align:center}.elementor-widget-image a{display:inline-block}.elementor-widget-image a img[src$=\".svg\"]{width:48px}.elementor-widget-image img{vertical-align:middle;display:inline-block}</style>												<img width=\"728\" height=\"496\" src=\"https://mehrsolar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Solar-BIPV-3.jpeg\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https://mehrsolar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Solar-BIPV-3.jpeg 728w, https://mehrsolar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Solar-BIPV-3-300x204.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 728px) 100vw, 728px\" />															\n		<p>Mehr Solar works directly with your residential or commercial builder, developer &amp;/or architect to select and implement the most cost-effective BIPV technology specific to your needs &amp; to maximize your ROI.</p><p>Building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) are photovoltaic materials that are used to replace conventional building materials in parts of the building envelope such as the roof, skylights, or facades. They are increasingly being incorporated into the construction of new buildings as a principal or ancillary source of electrical power, although existing buildings may be retrofitted with similar technology.</p><p>The advantage of integrated photovoltaic over more common non-integrated systems is that the initial cost can be offset by reducing the amount spent on building materials and labor that would normally be used to construct the part of the building that the BIPV modules replace. These advantages make BIPV one of the fastest-growing segments of the photovoltaic industry.</p><p>The term building-applied photovoltaic (BAPV) is sometimes used to refer to photovoltaics that are retrofit - integrated into the building after construction is complete. Most building-integrated installations are BAPV. Some manufacturers &amp; builders differentiate new construction BIPV from BAPV.</p>		\n																<a href=\"https://mehrsolar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/BIPV-1.jpeg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"BIPV 1\">\n							<img width=\"263\" height=\"192\" src=\"https://mehrsolar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/BIPV-1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" />								</a>\n																<a href=\"https://mehrsolar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/BIPV-2.jpeg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"BIPV 2\">\n							<img width=\"329\" height=\"153\" src=\"https://mehrsolar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/BIPV-2.jpeg\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https://mehrsolar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/BIPV-2.jpeg 329w, https://mehrsolar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/BIPV-2-300x140.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 329px) 100vw, 329px\" />								</a>\n			<style>/*! elementor - v3.5.5 - 03-02-2022 */\n.elementor-heading-title{padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title[class*=elementor-size-]>a{color:inherit;font-size:inherit;line-height:inherit}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-small{font-size:15px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-medium{font-size:19px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-large{font-size:29px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-xl{font-size:39px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-xxl{font-size:59px}</style><h2>Benefits</h2>		\n		<p>Following are the three main benefits of BIPV according to New York Solar Energy Society:</p><p><strong>* Cos</strong>t: adding BIPV may cost you nothing compared to conventional building material costs.</p><p>Every approach to building design should satisfy needs and cost you less in the long run. Take whatever your current conventional construction material and labor budget are for roofing, building envelope, canopies, thermal heating, and cooling. Then double it. That’s what adding BIPV will cost you in the short term. However, BIPV with its incentives and unique tax advantages costs you less than conventional building materials in the long run. Plus “A penny saved is a penny earned.”</p><p>Once in place, conventional building materials are revenue static, offering little or no savings over time. By adding BIPV versus the cost of conventional construction materials and labor, the building envelope, roof or canopy now becomes a revenue center with up to 30 years of savings from system-generated electricity.</p><p><strong>*Efficiency</strong>: peak power consumption is offset simultaneously by peak energy production.</p><p>During the day, maximum sunlight hours and solar power system energy production generally correspond with peak electricity demand. This is even more important because peak production from the system is realized during daylight hours when utility prices are highest.</p><p><strong>*Aesthetic</strong>: with BIPV, architectural design isn’t sacrificed for the integration of solar power systems.</p><p>Many have said, “I want to add solar, but I don’t want to see it.” So when does solar not look like solar? When it’s seamlessly blended into building architecture using BIPV. That’s the void in solar integration that BIPV fills. Architectural canopies, facades, curtain walls, roof, and skylight systems are all examples of how BIPV can be an aesthetic rather than a design compromise.</p><p>Unlike the subjective social and environmental benefits of solar power which are hard to quantify, BIPV’s economic benefits are real, easily measured, and unique to the BIPV approach of building design and architecture. No other integration of solar or wind power generation can make that claim.

It can provide electricity for your home and provide the opportunity for you to take advantage of net metering.</p>		\n			<a href=\"#\" role=\"button\">\n						Why use PV?\n					</a>\n		<p>The sun generates enough clean energy in one day to provide a year’s supply of energy for your home. Why not tap into this abundant resource of clean energy? PV preserves the earth’s finite fossil-fuel resources-coal oil, natural gas-and reduces air and noise pollution associated with those energy sources. Considering the state incentive program along with the state and federal tax credit program, have greatly reduced the cost of PV ownership. PV system reliability and durability are outstanding typical PV systems may last 40 years with minimal maintenance.</p>		\n			<a href=\"#\" role=\"button\">\n						How does solar electricity or \"PV\" works?\n					</a>\n		<p>Photo-voltaic, also known as “PV,” produce electricity from the sun. The solar “cell” is the basic building block of PV technology. Solar cells are wired together to form a PV module. PV systems begin with the solar module. Modules gather solar energy in the form of sunlight and <br />convert it into direct current (DC) electricity. The more sunlight they receive, the more electricity they produce. Solar modules are the heart of the PV system. In essence, they are the power generators. To convert DC power to alternate current (AC) power, the type of electricity used in your home, a device called an inverter is used. Depending upon the size of the PV system, inverters may be mounted by the PV manufacturer right on the back of a PV module. Inverters may also be wall-mounted separately from the PV system, but within close proximity to the solar panels. This type of inverter’s location can be in the basement, attic or garage. If an excess of electricity is produced through the PV system, the power will flow back through your meter for distribution back to the grid system. This is known as “net metering\".</p>		\n			<a href=\"#\" role=\"button\">\n						How does net-metering work\n					</a>\n		<p>Your electric meter spins forward when electricity is flowing from your utility provider into your home. The meter spins backward when power is flowing from your home back to the utility provider. That is, if more electricity is generated through a PV system than your home requires, the excess energy flows back to the provider’s electric grid system, which turns your electric meter backward. At the end of the month, you are billed only for net consumption - the amount of electricity consumed less the amount of electricity distributed back to your utility provider’s grid.</p>		\n			<a href=\"#\" role=\"button\">\n						What does a typical PV panel looks like \n					</a>\n		<p>A typical PV panel consists of solar cells connected electrically to form a module that can measure two to four feet wide and four to six feet long. Some solar modules look just like traditional roof shingles. Many interconnected PV modules are called an array.</p>		\n			<a href=\"#\" role=\"button\">\n						What happens if the sun doesn\'t shine?\n					</a>\n		<p>Your PV system will continue to produce electricity during cloudy weather, although the total amount will be reduced. Power will automatically be provided through your utility provider at night or during inclement weather.</p>		\n			<a href=\"#\" role=\"button\">\n						How does shading affect my PV system?\n					</a>\n		<p>Proper placement of your Photo Voltaic (PV) system is critical to the success of the PV systems output. Having even one cell in a PV module in the shade, especially during the best sun hours of the day, can decrease the output for the entire module and possibly the entire system. Since the shaded cell is not producing any moving electrons, it acts like an open circuit to the entire string. This is similar to having one Christmas tree light burned out in a string of lights. No current can flow! When looking to place your PV system, please watch for any type of shading. Shading can include trees, chimneys, TV <br />antennas/satellite dishes, dormers of the house.</p><p>Step 1- Review your roof for good access to the sun. Does the area for PV system receive full sunlight with no shading?</p><p>Step 2- If you have 100% of sunlight on a south-facing roof, you have an ideal roof for PV, although east and west-facing roofs are very good also. If there is shading on your roof, consult with a person trained on PV.</p>		\n			<a href=\"#\" role=\"button\">\n						Is my home right for a PV system?\n					</a>\n		<p>A PV system needs unobstructed access to the sun’s rays for most, or all of the day, throughout the year. PV panels are relatively unaffected by changing weather. In fact, some PV cells actually work better at colder temperatures. PV modules are angled to catch the sun, not snow, so any snow that does collect melts quickly. To maximize the energy production of photovoltaic electricity, PV systems are installed on a southern exposed roof and mounted parallel with the roof at a 35 degree roof pitch with no shading. However, roofs that face east or west may also be acceptable. PV panels should have their surfaces exposed to the sun’s rays for most or all of the day, with minimal or no shadows from trees, chimneys and gables between 9 AM and 4 PM.</p><p>Home Energy Efficiency and PV: An energy efficient home means you can install less PV. Every dollar on energy efficiency in the home saves $20 on your PV electric panels. To become energy efficient in the home, use compact fluorescent light bulbs, which use 75% less energy than the equivalent incandescent. A 15 watt compact fluorescent will produce as much light as a 60 watt incandescent. Also look for energy saving appliances (clothes washers, refrigerators, room A/C, dishwashers. Refrigerators before 1990 are power hogs!</p>		\n			<a href=\"#\" role=\"button\">\n						Can my home accommodate a PV system?\n					</a>\n		<p>The amount of space needed by a PV system is based on the output of the PV system and the type of PV system installed. Most residential systems require as little as 50 square feet (for a small “starter” system) up to as much as 1,000 square feet for larger systems. A typical two-kilowatt system could occupy approximately 200 square feet. If your location limits the physical size of your system, you may want to install a system that uses more efficient PV modules. Greater efficiency means that the module uses less surface area to convert sunlight into a given amount of electric power.</p>		\n			<a href=\"#\" role=\"button\">\n						Estimated Roof Area Needed in Square Feet\n					</a>\n		<table border=\"0\" width=\"85%\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\"><tbody><tr><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"108\"><u>PV Module Efficiency*</u></td><td colspan=\"8\" bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"382\">PV Capacity Rating, watts (in bold)</td></tr><tr><td valign=\"top\" bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"108\"> </td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"45\">100</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"45\">250</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"45\">500</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"48\">1,000</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"48\">2,000</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"48\">4,000</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"50\">10,000</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"52\">100,000</td></tr><tr><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"108\"><u>4</u></td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"45\">30</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"45\">75</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"45\">150</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"48\">300</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"48\">600</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"48\">1,200</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"50\">3,000</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"52\">30,000</td></tr><tr><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"108\"><u>8</u></td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"45\">15</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"45\">38</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"45\">75</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"48\">150</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"48\">300</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"48\">600</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"50\">1,500</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"52\">15,000</td></tr><tr><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"108\"><u>12</u></td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"45\">10</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"45\">25</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"45\">50</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"48\">100</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"48\">200</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"48\">400</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"50\">1,000</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"52\">10,000</td></tr><tr><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"108\"><u>16</u></td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"45\">8</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"45\">20</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"45\">40</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"48\">80</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"48\">160</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"48\">320</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"50\">800</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"52\">8,000</td></tr></tbody></table><p>* Although the efficiency (percentage of sunlight converted to electrical energy) varies with different PV Modules available today, higher-efficiency modules typically cost more. So, a less efficient system is not necessarily less cost-effective. - The Vermont Renewable Energy Resource Center.</p>		\n			<a href=\"#\" role=\"button\">\n						How much PV will I need?\n					</a>\n		<p>As a starting point, you might consider how much of your present electricity needs you would like to meet with your PV system. For example, suppose that you would like to meet 50 percent of your electricity needs with your PV system. You could work with your PV provider to examine past electric bills and determine the size of the PV system needed to achieve that goal.</p><p>You can contact your local utility provider and request the total electricity usage, measured in kilowatt-hours, for your household over the last 12 months (or consult your electric bills if you save them.). Ask your PV provider how much your new PV system will produce on an annual basis (also measured in kilowatt-hours) and compare that number to your annual electric demand to get an idea of how much you will save.</p>		\n			<a href=\"#\" role=\"button\">\n						Calculating Electricity Bill Savings for a Net-Metered PV System\n					</a>\n		<p><strong>Energy From the PV System</strong><br />Determine the size of your PV system in kilowatts (kW). This value represents the \"kW of PV\" input for the equations below. Based on geographic location, the \"Energy Production <br />Factor\" is about 1,900. To estimate the annual energy produced by your system, use the following equation: Energy from the PV system = (kW of PV ) x (Energy Production Factor) = kWh/year Divide this number by twelve if you want to determine your estimated monthly energy reduction.</p><p><strong>Energy Bill Savings</strong><br />To estimate the annual energy bill savings from your system, use the following equation: Energy bill savings = (Annual kWh/year ) x (Residential Rate) = $/year saved (The residential rate in the above equation should be in dollars per kWh; for example, the rate of 17 cents for kWh is input as $0.17/kWh.)</p><p>For example, a 2 kW PV system (assuming a residential rate of .17 cents per kWh) <br />would provide the following: Energy from the PV system = 2kW x 1,900 = 3,800 kWh/year.<br />Energy Bill Savings = 3,800 kWh/year x $.17/kWh = $646.00.<img src=\"https://mehrsolar.com/images/soluti1.gif\" alt=\"two\" /></p><p> </p><p>Note: The uncertainty of the contoured values is generally ±10%. In mountainous and other areas of complex terrain, the uncertainty may be higher.</p><p> </p>		\n			<a href=\"#\" role=\"button\">\n						Do I need to be concerned with the condition of my existing roof?\n					</a>\n		<p>A PV system can be installed on any well-structured roof. Typically asphalt shingles are easiest to work with, while slate is the most difficult. If your roof is older and needs to be replaced in the very near future, you may want to replace it at the time the PV system is installed to avoid the future cost of removing and reinstalling your PV system. PV systems are also available that integrate PV cells into the roofing materials themselves. This allows the roof itself to act as the PV collecting device and serves as an excellent option when replacing a roof or designing and/or building anew home. One benefit of an integrated PV system is its ability to offset the cost of roofing materials.</p>		\n			<a href=\"#\" role=\"button\">\n						How much does a PV system cost?\n					</a>\n		<p>The total cost of a PV system includes the PV system and installation. Your PV system’s cost will depend on a number of factors, including system size and the energy efficiency of your home, whether the home is under construction and whether the PV is integrated into the roof or mounted on top of an existing roof. The cost also varies depending on the PV system rating, size, manufacturer, retailer and installer. Small-scaled PV systems with built-in inverters that produce about 600 watts of power may cost about $10 per watt ($6,000). These small systems will offset only a small fraction of your electricity bill.

The solar “cell” is the basic building block of PV technology. Solar cells are wired together to form a PV module. PV systems begin with the solar module. Modules gather solar energy in the form of sunlight and <br />convert it into direct current (DC) electricity. The more sunlight they receive, the more electricity they produce. Solar modules are the heart of the PV system. In essence, they are the power generators. To convert DC power to alternate current (AC) power, the type of electricity used in your home, a device called an inverter is used. Depending upon the size of the PV system, inverters may be mounted by the PV manufacturer right on the back of a PV module. Inverters may also be wall-mounted separately from the PV system, but within close proximity to the solar panels. This type of inverter’s location can be in the basement, attic or garage. If an excess of electricity is produced through the PV system, the power will flow back through your meter for distribution back to the grid system. This is known as “net metering\".</p>		\n			<a href=\"#\" role=\"button\">\n						How does net-metering work\n					</a>\n		<p>Your electric meter spins forward when electricity is flowing from your utility provider into your home. The meter spins backward when power is flowing from your home back to the utility provider. That is, if more electricity is generated through a PV system than your home requires, the excess energy flows back to the provider’s electric grid system, which turns your electric meter backward. At the end of the month, you are billed only for net consumption - the amount of electricity consumed less the amount of electricity distributed back to your utility provider’s grid.</p>		\n			<a href=\"#\" role=\"button\">\n						What does a typical PV panel looks like \n					</a>\n		<p>A typical PV panel consists of solar cells connected electrically to form a module that can measure two to four feet wide and four to six feet long. Some solar modules look just like traditional roof shingles. Many interconnected PV modules are called an array.</p>		\n			<a href=\"#\" role=\"button\">\n						What happens if the sun doesn\'t shine?\n					</a>\n		<p>Your PV system will continue to produce electricity during cloudy weather, although the total amount will be reduced.

Having even one cell in a PV module in the shade, especially during the best sun hours of the day, can decrease the output for the entire module and possibly the entire system. Since the shaded cell is not producing any moving electrons, it acts like an open circuit to the entire string. This is similar to having one Christmas tree light burned out in a string of lights. No current can flow! When looking to place your PV system, please watch for any type of shading. Shading can include trees, chimneys, TV <br />antennas/satellite dishes, dormers of the house.</p><p>Step 1- Review your roof for good access to the sun. Does the area for PV system receive full sunlight with no shading?</p><p>Step 2- If you have 100% of sunlight on a south-facing roof, you have an ideal roof for PV, although east and west-facing roofs are very good also. If there is shading on your roof, consult with a person trained on PV.</p>		\n			<a href=\"#\" role=\"button\">\n						Is my home right for a PV system?\n					</a>\n		<p>A PV system needs unobstructed access to the sun’s rays for most, or all of the day, throughout the year. PV panels are relatively unaffected by changing weather. In fact, some PV cells actually work better at colder temperatures. PV modules are angled to catch the sun, not snow, so any snow that does collect melts quickly. To maximize the energy production of photovoltaic electricity, PV systems are installed on a southern exposed roof and mounted parallel with the roof at a 35 degree roof pitch with no shading. However, roofs that face east or west may also be acceptable. PV panels should have their surfaces exposed to the sun’s rays for most or all of the day, with minimal or no shadows from trees, chimneys and gables between 9 AM and 4 PM.</p><p>Home Energy Efficiency and PV: An energy efficient home means you can install less PV. Every dollar on energy efficiency in the home saves $20 on your PV electric panels. To become energy efficient in the home, use compact fluorescent light bulbs, which use 75% less energy than the equivalent incandescent. A 15 watt compact fluorescent will produce as much light as a 60 watt incandescent. Also look for energy saving appliances (clothes washers, refrigerators, room A/C, dishwashers. Refrigerators before 1990 are power hogs!</p>		\n			<a href=\"#\" role=\"button\">\n						Can my home accommodate a PV system?\n					</a>\n		<p>The amount of space needed by a PV system is based on the output of the PV system and the type of PV system installed. Most residential systems require as little as 50 square feet (for a small “starter” system) up to as much as 1,000 square feet for larger systems. A typical two-kilowatt system could occupy approximately 200 square feet. If your location limits the physical size of your system, you may want to install a system that uses more efficient PV modules. Greater efficiency means that the module uses less surface area to convert sunlight into a given amount of electric power.</p>		\n			<a href=\"#\" role=\"button\">\n						Estimated Roof Area Needed in Square Feet\n					</a>\n		<table border=\"0\" width=\"85%\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\"><tbody><tr><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"108\"><u>PV Module Efficiency*</u></td><td colspan=\"8\" bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"382\">PV Capacity Rating, watts (in bold)</td></tr><tr><td valign=\"top\" bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"108\"> </td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"45\">100</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"45\">250</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"45\">500</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"48\">1,000</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"48\">2,000</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"48\">4,000</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"50\">10,000</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"52\">100,000</td></tr><tr><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"108\"><u>4</u></td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"45\">30</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"45\">75</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"45\">150</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"48\">300</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"48\">600</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"48\">1,200</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"50\">3,000</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"52\">30,000</td></tr><tr><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"108\"><u>8</u></td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"45\">15</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"45\">38</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"45\">75</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"48\">150</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"48\">300</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"48\">600</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"50\">1,500</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"52\">15,000</td></tr><tr><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"108\"><u>12</u></td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"45\">10</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"45\">25</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"45\">50</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"48\">100</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"48\">200</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"48\">400</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"50\">1,000</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"52\">10,000</td></tr><tr><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"108\"><u>16</u></td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"45\">8</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"45\">20</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"45\">40</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"48\">80</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"48\">160</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"48\">320</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"50\">800</td><td bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" width=\"52\">8,000</td></tr></tbody></table><p>* Although the efficiency (percentage of sunlight converted to electrical energy) varies with different PV Modules available today, higher-efficiency modules typically cost more.

A 2-kilowatt system that will offset the needs of a very energy-efficiency home may cost $8 to $10 per watt ($16,000-$20,000). At the high end, a 10-kilowatt system that will completely offset the energy needs of many conventional homes may cost $7 to $8 per watt ($70,000-$80,000). These prices of course, are just rough estimates, and your costs will depend on your system\'s configuration, your equipment options and other factors.</p><p>Remember, the state incentives can significantly reduce the cost of purchasing a PV system. <br />In addition, the state and federal tax credit can reduce your overall costs much further.</p>','FAQ','','inherit','closed','closed','','757-revision-v1','','','2022-01-10 14:41:42','2022-01-10 14:41:42','',757,'https://mehrsolar.com/?p=933',0,'revision','',0),(939,1,'2022-01-10 15:40:41','2022-01-10 15:40:41','','Blog','','inherit','closed','closed','','197-revision-v1','','','2022-01-10 15:40:41','2022-01-10 15:40:41','',197,'https://mehrsolar.com/?p=939',0,'revision','',0),
