The sun rises, the world turns, and each hour thousands of kilowatt-hours of energy stream down onto rooftops, parking lots and fields. Yet most homeowners still watch a bill climbing month after month. We believe that changes now. Solar is simple: capture sunlight → convert it to electricity → use it or store it. What’s shifted is the moment. With technology, storage, and grid disruption all converging, your roof can become a power plant.
1. How Solar Works (in plain English)
Every solar panel uses the photovoltaic (PV) effect: sunlight hits the panel, liberates electrons in a silicon cell, creating direct current (DC). An inverter turns that into alternating current (AC) which your home uses. Any excess either goes into a battery or back to the grid.
2. What’s in a System
Panels. Inverter. Racking. Monitoring. Optional battery. Each part plays a role. And choices matter: efficiency, warranties, roof complexity — all drive results.
3. Why It Makes Sense Today
- Electric rates are rising and will keep rising.
- Solar hardware cost has dropped while reliability has improved.
- With storage, you’re not just producing — you’re owning your energy-future.
4. Will It Work for You?
Ask: Roof orientation? Shading? Age of roof? Usage now and future (EV, home office)? These shape system size and value.
5. Quick Start Checklist
- Check your last 12-month kWh consumption.
- Estimate size: Annual kWh ÷ 1,200 ≈ kW DC size.
- Explore whether your roof needs renewal first.
- Talk to a certified installer—not just a salesperson.
