What is a solar panel system?

Solar panel systems are often referred to as PV, or photovoltaic, solar power systems. The home installation of a high-quality solar power system can reduce or eliminate dependence on the utility power grid that supplies electricity to light, heat, cool, and operate your home.

What equipment do I need to go solar?

We'll break down everything you need to know about solar equipment to prepare you. You need solar panels, inverters, racking equipment, and performance monitoring equipment to go solar. You also might want an energy storage system (aka solar battery), especially if you live in an area that doesn't have net metering.

What is a roof-mounted solar panel system?

A roof-mounted solar panels system absorbs and converts the energy-packed photons of natural sunlight into a usable energy form. Solar panel systems are often referred to as PV, or photovoltaic, solar power systems.

How does a solar energy monitoring system work?

This nifty piece of solar energy equipment reports the hourly electricity production of your solar system. In addition to being a fun way to watch your panels power your home, monitoring systems allow you to recognize potential performance issues and ensure maximum electricity production.

What is a hybrid solar system?

Hybrid solar systems use the same equipment as grid-tied systems but also include a charge controller, energy storage system, and a hybrid inverter capable of connecting the solar system and battery to each other and the grid.

What are the different types of residential solar panels?

There are three main types of residential solar panel installations: grid-tied, hybrid, and off-grid. Grid-tied systems are the most common and the cheapest because they use the least amount of equipment: solar panels, wiring, racking, grid-tied inverters, and a net meter.
