Harness solar energy to cut your electric bill with our help
Solar photovoltaic (PV) systems are popular, and it’s easy to understand why. Solar energy is the ultimate renewable energy source–green, nonpolluting, and universally available.
What makes solar PV even more attractive these days are lower prices. Thanks to advances in PV technology, the cost of solar cells continues to come down, making solar power systems more and more affordable. Local and Federal incentive programs sweeten the deal even further.
Solar Bear can help you decide if a solar photovoltaic system is right for you. We can right-size and install a solar panel array. Contact us today for free estimates on solar panel systems! We also offer whole home energy audits to inform you of all the potential ways you could be saving money and energy.
Exposure is important. Pv panels can be mounted on a south-facing roof or on ground supports. In either case, there should be maximum exposure to direct sunlight.
Solar Power can increase your electricity output and energy efficiency
When you have solar PV system installed, you are generating free electricity whenever the sun is shinning. During periods of low electricity demand, you may actually generate more electricity than your home is consuming. When this happens, net metering regulations stipulate that your electric utility must purchase your surplus electricity. Depending on the size of a solar PV system an household power consumption habits, you can expect to reduce your electric bill by 40%-80%.
It’s important to consider solar energy as one element in a larger overall home energy saving plan that includes high levels of insulation, improved air-tightness, energy-efficient water heating and top-performing heating and cooling (solar energy). Keep in mind that solar energy can also be used in a solar thermal system that saves money by producing solar-heated water.
How a residential solar photovoltaic system works
A typical “grid-connected” solar PV system allows the home to use solar electricity as well as electricity supplied by the local electric utility. Solar panels can be mounted on a south-facing roof or on the ground. Sometimes trees must be trimmed or cut down so that panels can receive maximum sunlight.
The direct current (DC) produced by the solar cells is converted to standard alternating current (AC) by an inverter, then fed through an electric meter, just like the electricity that comes from the power company. With your solar panel installation complete, you’ll never have to worry because a solar PV system is nearly maintenance free. Panels will keep producing solar electricity for 25 years or more.
