RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL SOLAR ENERGY
We believe in empowering our customers with knowledge so they can make informed decisions about their energy needs. Whether you’re looking to go fully off-grid, tie into the grid, add battery backup, or install a small system for emergency power, we’ve got you covered. Let’s break down what each of these options means so you can feel confident in your choice to go solar.
Grid-Tie Systems
A grid-tie solar system is connected to your local utility grid. This setup allows you to generate your own electricity from solar panels while still having access to the grid when needed.
​
Who is it for? Grid-tie systems are perfect for those who want to reduce their electricity bills and carbon footprint without giving up the reliability of grid power.
Â
What to consider: With a grid-tie system, you can sell excess energy back to the grid, potentially earning credits on your electricity bill. However, if the grid goes down, your solar system will typically go offline unless you have a battery backup.
Off-Grid Systems
An off-grid solar system is designed to operate independently of the local utility grid. This means that your home or business generates the electricity it needs from solar panels, storing any excess energy in batteries for use when the sun isn’t shining.
​
Who is it for? Off-grid systems are ideal for remote locations where grid access is unreliable or nonexistent, or for those who want complete energy independence.
​
What to consider: Going off-grid requires a well-designed system with adequate battery storage to ensure you have power during extended periods of low sunlight.
Grid-Tie with Battery Backup
A grid-tie system with battery backup offers the best of both worlds. You generate solar power, tie into the grid, and store excess energy in batteries. If the grid goes down, your battery backup kicks in to keep essential systems running.
Â
Who is it for? This setup is ideal for those who want the benefits of solar energy and the reliability of grid power, with added security during power outages.
Â
What to consider: A battery backup ensures that you can keep critical systems like refrigeration, lighting, and communication devices powered up even during a grid outage.
Small Solar Systems for Emergency Power
Not ready for a full solar installation? Consider a small solar system designed to power essential appliances during an emergency. These systems are scaled-down versions of larger solar setups and are designed to keep key items, like refrigerators and freezers, operational during extended power outages.
Â
Who is it for? Homeowners who want to ensure they have power for critical needs during emergencies without the expense of a full solar system.
Â
What to consider: While these systems won’t power your entire home, they provide peace of mind knowing that your essentials will stay up and running when you need them most.
