The benefits of solar PV
Solar panels, also known as photovoltaic panels, are devices designed to capture sunlight and convert it into electricity. They work by using semiconductor materials to absorb photons from the sun's rays. When these photons strike the solar cells, they generate an electrical current, allowing the solar panels to produce direct current (DC) electricity. An inverter then converts this DC electricity into alternating current (AC), which is the type of electricity used in homes and businesses.
Does Solar PV work in NY?
While New York's available sunshine differs from some other states, it still receives a significant amount of sunlight, especially during the summer months. With the right technology and infrastructure, this solar potential can be harnessed effectively.
When installing a PV system, your panel quantity is determined based on your electricity usage. The majority of our customers benefit from systems that produce 100% of their electrical needs.
Why should I go solar?
Financial Savings: Installing solar panels allows you to produce your own power. With net metering in place, you can earn credits for excess energy your panels produce that isn't used within your home, which can further offset your energy costs. New York offers various incentives and tax credits, making the initial investment more affordable and providing long-term financial benefits.
Environmental Impact: By harnessing solar energy, you can reduce your carbon footprint and contribute to a more sustainable future. New York State is actively working to combat climate change, and adopting solar power helps align with the state's renewable energy goals. It's a tangible way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and decrease reliance on fossil fuels.
Energy Independence: Solar panels provide a degree of energy independence. You're not as susceptible to fluctuations in energy prices, and you're less reliant on traditional utility companies. With solar power, you can generate your own clean electricity, and if you choose to install a battery, you can benefit from a sense of security during power outages or disruptions.
Property Value Enhancement: Solar panels can increase the value of your property. Many homebuyers are increasingly interested in homes with solar installations due to the long-term cost savings and environmental benefits. It can make your property more attractive in the real estate market.
