Why people go solar?
When a solar system is installed on your property, you save money on your electricity bills and protect yourself against rising electricity rates in the future.

What solar energy incentives are available?
Solar panel vary depending on where you live. The most significant is the 30 percent federal investment tax credit (ITC), which allows you to deduct 30 percent of the cost of your solar energy system from your taxes. Certain states here offer additional tax credits, certain municipalities and certain utilities offer cash rebates or other incentives.
How do solar panels work?
Solar panels absorbs ultra violent light throughout the day from the sun and convert it into direct current (DC) electricity. Most residential homes run on alternating current (AC) electricity, so the DC electricity is then passed through the inverter to convert it to usable AC electricity. Once usable at that point, you either use the electricity in your house or send it back to the electric grid to reserve solar net-metering credits .
Is it a maintenance cost?
Solar panel systems are made of durable tempered glass and require hardly any maintenance for the 20 to 30 years that they will generate power. In most situations , you don’t even need to clean the solar panels regularly. If something does happen, most equipment manufacturers include warranties, although warranty terms depend on the company.

How many batteries come with an average system?
Trick question – there are no batteries for standard grid-tied solar PV installations. During the day, any excess electricity is sold back to the grid for credits. At night and in the winter months, you can use those credits to purchase electricity back from the grid. Batteries can of course be added to a system for those looking to have power backup in the case of emergencies.
