Learn how to harness the power of the sun

Going solar has never been easier or more affordable. Scroll to learn more about how solar works, and how it can go to work for you.

How does solar work?

Solar in 5 simple steps:​

  1. Solar cells, also called photovoltaic (PV) cells (photo meaning “light” and voltaic meaning “electricity”), convert the sun’s energy into electricity using semiconductors typically made of silicon
     

  2. The internal circuitry in the panel converts the sun’s rays into Direct Current (DC) electricity. 
     

  3. The DC electricity is sent to a solar inverter where it gets converted into Alternating Current (AC) electricity, the most commonly used form of electricity in homes and businesses today 
     

  4. The AC electricity flows through the inverter to the breaker box, which directs the electricity to power lights, appliances and other electronic devices in your home, including powering your electric vehicle 
     

  5. Unused electricity is then fed back to the grid to offset or for purchase

Benefits to your bottom line

Rebates

Take advantage of this year’s generous rebate subsidy before it drops down or disappears!

Battery rebates

Depending on your state, you might be eligible for state battery rebates. Contact us to find out if you qualify for any available rebates in your area.

Save money on your energy bills

Whether you choose to pay for solar upfront or opt for our 0% interest, no-down-payment financing, you’re securing your energy rate for the long term. For many who finance, the monthly payments are typically lower than their previous electric bills, resulting in a positive impact on their monthly budget.



Benefits you can feel good about

Peace of mind

Solar plus a battery backup solution or generator provide security, power, and peace of mind when power outages and unpredictable weather strike.

Investing in a cleaner future

It’s a win-win. You save money, and do your part by choosing a cleaner way to power your life. The future thanks you

Energy independence

Although most structures are still connected to the grid, going solar is a step in the right direction for energy independence so that entire communities are less reliant on the overburdened energy infrastructure.
