About Us

We will try not to get very technical here, but unlike the common misconception, the solar modules installed on the roof are not all you get!

Solar modules, commonly silicon-based, will generate electricity once solar irradiance hits their surface, allowing electrons to move freely. This type of power produced cannot be used directly in your house, and that’s when the inverter comes to play, converting that DC power into AC power that can power your appliances. Any excess energy can then be exported back to the utility grid or stored in a battery for use during peak hours or blackouts. 

Your system will produce the most energy when the sun is higher in the sky, which is unnecessary during peak demands. Accordingly, excess energy will be back-fed to the grid if present, known as net metering. Based on your agreement with the grid, you’ll be credited the power you sell back so you can use it at other times during the day when your consumption is higher than production. Customers are typically credited in a one-to-one ratio. However, rates might differ, especially in a non-regulated market such as Texas.

Many reasons push people to install solar systems for their residents and businesses. Here are some that you should know about: 

1- Environmental impact: solar panels are an alternative way of energy production where no fuel is burned in the process. Solar is 25 times cleaner than coal and ten times than natural gas power plants.

2- Money Saving: this might be a top consideration as many consider solar a pure investment. On average, residents save upwards of $1,500 yearly by going solar.

3- Incentives: we could technically add the incentives to #2, but the investment tax credit is a big deal, saving you 26% of your system’s cost.

4- Energy security: coupled with batteries, solar energy can be an excellent solution to grid reliability as solar has proven guaranteed performance over the years.

5- Boost in Home Value: research shows that solar increase your home value by 5% on average and makes it more attractive to buyers when trying to sell.

6- No maintenance: Solar systems require little to no maintenance due to not having any moving parts. We recommend professionally cleaning the modules twice a year depending on the soiling level and scheduling an inspection annually.
