Find Your Place in the Sun
Solar panels perform at peak efficiency when certain factors work in your favor. While all solar collectors perform at their best on clear, sunny days when sun exposure is at its peak, our panels are designed to work longer and harder, making the most out of any sunlight conditions, from dawn to dusk. For best results...
- Face South
This is the optimum position for solar panels, but southeast and southwest facing arrays can produce decent results. - Catch the Latitude Attitude
Homes in lower latitudes get better sun saturation. - Get Out of the Shade
Position solar panels where no shade will fall on them (from trees, buildings, chimneys, etc). - The Best Rays are Middays
When the sun is at its highest, solar panels run at optimum levels. - Be Weather Aware
The more sun, the better. - Get Seasoned Advice
The sun is higher in the sky in summer compared to winter and a steeper roof is better in winter than in summer. Find a balance for your change in seasons.
How Solar Works?
From Sun to Savings in Four Easy Steps
- Our Solar Systems Capture the Sun
From dawn to dusk, photovoltaic roofing absorbs sunlight and converts it into direct current (DC) electricity. - Our Inverter Makes the Electricity Usable
Your home uses alternating current (AC), and our inverter converts the DC collected on your roof into AC you can use. - You Use Only the Electricity You Need
The solar system will generate a portion or, in some cases, all or more electricity than your home uses during the day. Your home will only pull electricity through your electric meter when you need more than your roof collects. - Get Paid for the Extra*
If you don’t use all the electricity your roof makes, the excess power flows back through your meter into the power grid. And your electric bill goes down even further as a result.
