How do solar panels or PV panels work?
Solar panels or photovoltaic (PV) panels on your home capture energy from the sun. Micro-inverters then convert the direct current (DC) power generated by your panels into alternating current (AC) power for your home. Energy-efficient wires and cables capable of handling the output from your solar energy system transfer the power to the net meter.
The net meter measures both the electricity you're buying and the excess electricity your panels produce and send back to the grid, spinning both backward and forward.
That's it. Tap into the boundless benefits of solar energy today. Utilize the electricity your solar panels collect from the sun to power everything in your home.
Installing solar panels on your home or business can have significant benefits for the environment, your property value, and your finances. While solar energy might seem complex, our experts at Wing Solar & Wood Energy, Inc. will ensure your confidence in your decision. We'll custom design a solar system that meets your needs.
Beyond the evident advantages of saving on energy costs and benefiting the environment, you might be wondering, 'Why solar?' Once again, the answer is as straightforward as how solar works in the first place.
Why are solar panels a great energy choice?
Several factors contribute to making solar panels an excellent choice for homeowners and small businesses. Both the California State and federal governments offer incentives and tax rebates for those using solar panels and renewable energy.
As traditional energy costs continue to rise, solar power becomes more appealing than ever. While solar panels may not come cheap, tax rebates and incentives can significantly offset these costs. For further details, please explore the financing guide on this site.
Solar energy can increase your property values.
Utilizing solar energy can also significantly boost the asking price if you're contemplating selling your home. For instance, a $500,000 solar property can add $20,000 or more to the retail value of your home.
Considering a home improvement project? Solar energy offers a win-win situation, allowing you to enjoy lower electricity bills, contribute to environmental conservation, and invest in a sustainable future for years to come.
