Smart solar panel system

How Solar Works

Understanding solar is as easy as watching a sunset

1. Sun

The rays from the sun hit the photovoltaic panels causing the production of solar energy.

2. Photovoltaic panel (Solar Panel)

Contain solar cells which each cell produces electric power in direct current (DC).

3. Inverter

The DC power is sent from the solar panels to an inverter to convert into alternating current (AC). AC is the standard power that is used inside homes on everyday appliances and is the electrical power that is recognized by your local electric company.

4. Electric Meter

The electricity from the inverter flows through your electric meter which is measured in kilowatt hours. When you are generating more electricity than you are using the overage power is sent onto the grid. This causes your meter to spin backwards essentially selling electricity back to the utility company. When you need more electricity than you are producing the electricity is funneled back from the grid.

5. Utility Grid (Power Line)

The utility grid is controlled by the electric company and it provides electricity when needed. When you over produce electricity the overage is sent back to the grid and your electric company recognizes this as a credit. At night when you are not producing solar power your credit is utilized and electricity flows back from the grid into your home.

Is the roof of my home big enough for Smart to install a Solar Power System?

In most cases the roof has enough space to place an adequate solar panel array for the energy needed to power your home.  In the case of an impossible roof application, there are other options available for your home. During your SHR free in home energy evaluation your consultant will point out all of the options available to you.

Simply call us or fill out the solar evaluation form and we'll contact you. You have many options for saving energy, slashing electricity bills, reducing your dependence on foreign oil and avoiding rising energy prices with the use of solar energy. Please gather a description of your building including the type of roof and what direction it faces, your utility or heating bill and a timeline you have in mind. All of these preparations will help the discussion in finding your solar energy solution.

groFact

"In one hour more energy from sunlight falls on the earth than the amount of energy used by the entire population in one year."  

Gain Energy Independence from your Utility Company

When your system starts to generate more electricity than you actually consume your utility meter begins to spin backwards sending overage electricity back to the grid. You then accrue credit with your utility company at the same rate they are charging you which allows your monthly electric bill to be reduced to a zero amount. Electricity prices on average have increased about 6% per year for the last 30 years. Once you choose solar, you are able to lock in low electricity prices which no longer make you dependent on foreign oil or increasing energy prices.

Increase the Value of your Home

Homeowners can expect their property resale value to increase significantly. An article published by the Appraisal Institute showed that property resale values will increase $20 for every $1 saved annually in electricity. Currently solar electric systems are 100% property tax exempt.

Significant State Rebate and Federal Tax Credit

The state of California has placed the California Solar Initiative (CSI) which is currently paying a state rebate that covers up to 25% of the total system cost. In addition to the state rebate, the federal government has placed a 30% federal income tax credit on residential solar systems. By utilizing both state and federal incentive programs the total system cost is reduced by up to 50% resulting in solar power being a great home investment. The amount of state rebates reduces significantly with every 10MW applicants. Please contact your So-Cal Solar Account Executive to secure your rebate before the next decline in the California Solar Initiative state rebate program. Please reference the following link for more information about your state rebate and federal tax credit http://www.dsireusa.org/.

Return on Investment

Currently the annual rate of return is between 10% - 20%. Depending on how you decide to finance your solar electric system it still holds a strong return. When you finance your solar electric system your loan monthly payment will be less than your monthly electric bill which allows you to see a return instantly. Bottom Line in today’s economic crisis purchasing solar is one of the strongest and most secure investment you can make for your future.
