Solar power is a simple idea with major benefits for you, your family and the environment. With rising electricity costs, solar makes sense for many families, businesses and industries. When you think about the cost of heating your house or running your air conditioning system, it becomes clear that solar power is one of the most cost-effective ways to cut your electricity bills.
Solar power also has several other advantages over standard grid electricity:
Energy independence – If you have limited grid supply or suffer from frequent power outages, solar can provide a secure source of electricity for your home.
Environmental responsibility – Solar is an eco-friendly alternative to coal and other fossil fuels, reducing harmful greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere.
Improvement in value of your home – Installing a grid-tied solar system will improve the value of your home. This is especially true if you live in an area that could benefit from solar storage batteries (and even more so if they are installed as part of a range of energy efficiency measures).
A growing industry – Solar is an expanding industry, with new technology and innovation leading to better products at lower costs.
With these incentives, now is a great time to get started on a solar system.
Solar PV panels capture sunlight, causing electrons in the panel's silicon cells to release energy that becomes direct (DC) electricity.
An inverter converts the DC into AC electricity, making it usable for homes and businesses.
Excess electricity can be stored in batteries or fed back into the power grid
Additional electricity can be pulled from the grid if you need more power than your solar panels can generate.
