Photovoltaic / Solar systems can produce alternating current (AC) compatible with conventional appliances, and can operate in parallel with, and interconnected to, the utility grid.
|
 |
 |
Today’s photovoltaic modules are extremely safe and reliable products, with minimal failure rates and projected service lifetimes of 20 to 30 years. Most major manufacturers offer warranties of 20 or more years for maintaining a high percentage of initial rated power output.

 |
With the help of integrated batteries that store power during the day, a well designed Solar Energy System can provide electricity 24 hours a day.
|
|
|
 |
Solar systems create no pollution and generate no waste products when operating.
|
|
|
 |
Solar systems can add power reliability to your home – providing power during a utility power outage.
|
|
|
 |
Depending on the size of the system, when the solar electric system produces more power than is needed to operate the home or business it is possible to feed excess electricity into the utility grid and sell to the utility at the retail rate.

 |
Solar systems can help distance us from the cost and uncertainties surrounding energy supplies from politically volatile regions.
|
|
|
 |
The higher cost of installation of alternative energy systems, such as solar power, can be offset by state
and federal government incentives and rebates.
|
|
|
 |
On cloudy days, solar systems can generate up to 80% of their potential energy production. Even on extremely overcast days, they can still produce about 25% of their maximum output.
|
|
|
 |
Solar systems are easy to maintain. They have no moving parts, so visual checks and battery servicing are enough to keep systems up and running.
|
|
|
 |
A solar system can be constructed to any size in response to the energy needs at hand and can be expanded as energy needs increase.
|
|
|
 |
A solar system can add value to your property and, unlike systems of the past, won't detract from the aesthetic value of your home.
