You can power your entire house using solar energy. By installing solar panels, you can generate electricity from sunlight and run your home's appliances, lighting, and other electrical systems. An inverter converts the solar-generated electricity into a usable form, and batteries can store excess energy for use during cloudy days or at night. Factors like your energy consumption, the size of the solar system, available sunlight, and location are all important. Our professional installers will help you determine the right setup for your needs.

There are several financing options for solar installations, including solar loans, solar leases, and Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs).

The amount you can save on energy bills depends on your energy consumption, the number of solar panels you have, and local electricity rates. On average, homeowners can save anywhere from 20% to 70% on their electricity bills with solar panels.

A typical home needs between 17 and 21 solar panels to cover 100 percent of its electricity usage. The number of panels you'll need to install depends on your geographic location, panel efficiency, panel-rated power, and personal energy consumption habits. While the answer isn't always simple, we've put together some example cases to help you understand how many solar panels you might need to install an effective home solar system.

To maximize system production. Trees, plants, rooftop antennas, satellite dishes, and other obstructions can block the sunlight from reaching the panels. If any portion of the panel is shaded, your system will produce electricity at a reduced level. Should you need to trim vegetation or move objects that might shade the panels, please do so during the daylight hours and use caution.

A solar energy system typically comprises components such as solar panels, an inverter, batteries (if desired), and a grid connection (where relevant). Our installer partners will meet with you to design your system based on your needs and wishes.
