Residential Grid-Tie Solar Power Systems

"Grid-tie" residential solar power systems connect directly into your electric company's power grid. During the day, your solar power system is generating electricity that is directed onto the main grid, sort of like a small power station.

Then at night, you simply draw whatever power you need right back off the grid. The electricity you generated (or saved) during the day for others to use will be paid back to you in the evenings when lighting and other electrical loads are needed.

If your system is of sufficient size and produces more power during the day than you use in the evenings, you may actually end up with a surplus of electricity. In this case, many electric companies offer a program which is commonly known as "net metering" wherein, if your system produces more than you use, you will be paid a pre-determined amount of money for each kilowatt hour your system produces. Yes! You could actually get a check from your power company instead of sending them one!

Off-Grid Residential Solar Power Systems

Have a cabin or home in a remote location where electrical power is unavailable? Our off-grid solar power systems that can provide power for your remote structure. These sytems utilize solar panels, a charger controller, battery, and wiring cables. Additionally included for multi-panel system kits the necessary solar panel mounting hardware, array combiners, and array-to-combiner wiring cables. AC upgrades are also available by adding a DC-to-AC electric power inverter.

About Solar Panels

What is a solar panel?

A solar panel (also known as a photovoltaic panel or photovoltaic module) is a device that converts photons of light from the Sun and converts them into an electric current.

How do solar panels work?

Solar panels convert photons of light into electrical current by a process known as the "photovoltaic effect". This essentially means that solar energy illuminating is causing electrons in a solar panel to become excited. These electrons are then directed into an electric current by a built-in electromagnetic field. This direct current electricity can be used to power many electric loads. It can also be "inverted" to alternating current electricity which can be used to power items in a home or business.
