Why homeowners are going solar:-

• Own you electricity instead of renting it. You own your home; why do you rent your electricity?
• Protect yourself from electricity inflation.
• Add significant re-sale value to your home.
• Earn a safe and solid return on your investment with upside potential.
• Make an environmental statement to your community.
• Reduce our country’s dependence on foreign fuels.

How solar power for your home works–

Solar panels for your home are virtually maintenance free and the technology is tried & true. With no moving parts, the panels sit on your roof, where they gather photons which are converted to energy in direct current (DC) form. The direct current is fed into an inverter mounted to close to your electric panel. The inverter converts DC to alternating current (AC), the form of electricity used by all your household appliances. A solar meter keeps track of how much electricity your solar system generates.

Note: When there is a power outage in the neighborhood, your home will do also experience the outage. Your inverter must have an automatic shut off by law to protect utility worker’s from electrocution while they work on lines to restore electrical service to the neighborhood.

The AC electicity then into your electrical panel to power your home. When you are producing more electricity than you are using, for instance, during spring and fall days, you can watch your bi directional meter spin backward. You are essentially “banking” this electricity which you can then pull back from the grid to use at night, or at times when your load is heavy.

It all happens automatically and depending on the size of solar electric system you install, you might cover 100% of your usage costs, or your might just cover all your on peak usage (the most expensive electricity)

At Concept Solar Energy we’ll engineer the best and most efficient system to match your needs with the physical requirements of your unique home, structure and electrical panel configuration.
