Sunshine is our panels' best friend, but they don't need a perfectly sunny day to generate electricity. Even on cloudy or overcast days, your panels can still produce energy, though the amount will naturally fluctuate with the available sunlight. When the sun goes down, solar panels don't produce power. However, you can consider adding a battery storage system to tap into stored energy and offset your nighttime electricity usage.
We look at several key factors to determine if solar is a smart choice for your home. This includes evaluating your roof's angle, any shading from trees, your current energy consumption, and your savings goals. Once we gather this information, a Solar Energy Specialist can provide you with a free quote and a preliminary design showing the ideal panel layout for your home.
For safety reasons, your home solar system will automatically shut off during a power outage. This prevents any electricity from being sent back to the grid while utility workers are trying to restore power. During this time, you won't have power from your solar system unless you've also installed a battery backup system to provide electricity for some of your home's needs.
The amount of power your solar panels will generate depends on several factors. We'll work with you to design a system that aligns with your energy goals.
