These days solar saves you money, lasts for decades, and moves your home or business one step closer to energy independence.
HOW IT WORKS
A solar panel works by allowing photons (particles of light) to knock electrons free from atoms. The solar panel then converts those photons into electrons of direct current, which flow out of the solar panel and into an inverter and other electrical devices.
WEATHER AND SOLAR PANELS
Even though rooftop solar panels are often exposed to inclement outdoor weather conditions, they can withstand them. Solar panels are electric devices and therefore, they are at risk for voltage surges caused by lightning. Our installers will make sure your system is properly grounded to prevent surges. Extra protection may be necessary, and a lightning protection system is a smart and easy upgrade.
Snow on solar panels is not a major problem. True, it can block the panels from receiving solar rays, but it usually melts off quickly because the panels are pointed directly at the sun.
We often hear our friends and neighbors say “how can solar work when Pennsylvania is so cloudy?” Did you know that Germany is a world leader in solar power and yet gets only as much direct sunlight each year as Alaska? Pennsylvania actually gets more sunshine!
SOLAR REBATES AND INCENTIVES
In Pennsylvania, one advantage of installing solar is net metering. Net metering allows you to sell excess solar electricity back to the utility at the same price they would have sold it to you. In effect, you become a power producer on the grid, banking your excess energy for when you need it later on.
You may also be eligible to sell Solar Renewable Energy Certificates. SRECs are a solar incentive that allows homeowners to sell certificates for energy to their utility. A homeowner earns one SREC for every 1000 kilowatt hours (kWhs) produced by their solar panel system.
In 2020, the Federal government has extended some of its solar incentives through 2022, including a 2-year extension for residential commercial solar. The commercial (Sec. 48) solar investment tax credit has been extended at 26% through 2022.
These days solar saves you money, lasts for decades, and moves your home or business one step closer to energy independence.
