Solar 101: The Basics
Understanding solar doesn't have to be complicated.
How Solar Panels Work
Solar panels convert sunlight into electricity using photovoltaic cells. An inverter converts this into usable electricity for your home.
Net Metering
Excess power goes back to the grid. Your utility credits you, effectively spinning your meter backward.
Buying vs. Leasing
Buying: Own the system, get tax credits.
Leasing: Zero down, immediate savings.
System Sizing
A typical home uses 6-10 kW. You want a system matched to your actual needs—bigger isn't always better.
Installation Timeline
2-4 months from contract to power. Most is permitting. Actual installation is just 1-3 days.
Maintenance
Minimal maintenance needed. Rain keeps them clean. Most systems have 25-year warranties.
