Solar Electric Systems
Solar Electric Systems have gone mainstream. With over a million American homes aleady enjoying the benefits and costs savings of going solar, there has never been a better time to install a system.
A Solar Electric System allows a home or business to generate all or a portion of their electricity using clean and natural solar energy. This one time investment is an excellent option for a home or business looking to invest in clean energy. This can provide a measure of defense against rising energy costs.
By buying less power from your utility due to your solar system, you will worry less over inevitable energy rate increases in the future. Your one time investment means a portion of your electrictiy will be at a fixed cost, $0, for years and years.

How does a Solar PV (Photovoltaic) System work?
 |
Solar is a 100% clean and renewable energy source that allows you to generate your own electricity using the sun's energy. The process and technology have been proven over the last thirty years.
Solar panels installed on the roof or on a racking system on your property convert sunlight into electricity. How?
Typically, you'll need a south-facing roof that is not shaded by trees or other obstructions. During a site survey we can determine how much shade is present at your location at any time of the year and size and install a system accordingly.

This DC power is then sent into an inverter, which takes the power from the solar system and converts it to standard alternating current, normal in any home. This AC power is fed into your electrical box and distributed into the home. Any excess power that your system generates beyond your electric demand can be sold back to your local utility at the standard residential rates per kilowatthour.

How expensive is a solar system?
Solar technology has come a long way in the last few years and is a very viable economic alternative energy source. Steady utility rate increase and a 25 - 30 year life span of a solar system make this a more attractive choice than many realize.
What will utility rates be in the future, if in parts of the Mid-Atlantic region electricity, rates went up 50% in 2007 alone...what about five years....where will we be in ten years? Energy demand continues to rise with no fundamental solutions to increasing supply. As a homeowner or business, there has never been a better time to take a measure of control by purchasing a solar system to generate some or all of your electricity needs.
Solar systems are very effective in the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States.In addition, there are federal and state tax incentives from most states in the Mid-Atlantic region, which can reduce the cost of your system and provide additional benefits for businesses choosing to go solar.
Many people have already gone solar. In the U.S., solar is currently a $6 billion industry, and is expected to again grow at a rate of 40% in 2007 as it did in 2006.
We encourage you to call or email us to schedule a site survey. During a site survey, we will review your location, review your product options, go through your potential installation location, and customize a system that meets your needs and budget.
