How A Solar Energy System Works
It's A Simple Three-Step Process
Solar photovoltaic (PV) panels are mounted on your roof, where they collect energy from the sun in the form of direct current electricity.
The direct current electricity is then converted by an inverter into alternating current electricity for use by your home.
The alternating current electricity is fed directly into your home, just like it is from your electricity provider. And since the solar energy system works in tandem with your electricity provider, you'll continue to get electricity from them when you need more than the solar energy system can provide (e.g. during overcast weather and at night).
What You Need to Make a Solar Energy System Work
All you need is at least 100 square feet of un-shaded roof area facing predominantly southward (a little to the east or west is okay).
Other Features and Benefits
Longevity
Solar energy systems produce electricity for 25 years or more.
Easy Maintenance
Solar energy systems are reliable, durable and virtually maintenance-free. Not only that, but solar panels are designed to withstand significant temperature changes, hail up to 1 inch at 50 MPH, and up to 150 MPH winds.
Appreciation
As a home improvement, solar energy systems have been shown to add $20,000 to a homes value for every $1,000 in annual electricity savings. And since electricity rates continue to rise, you can expect the value of your solar energy system to appreciate more rapidly.
