Solar Electric
-
Solar electric: panels convert sunlight directly to electricity.
-
Grid-tied: The output from solar electric panels is typically either converted to AC (household) power and fed into the home electrical panel, where power not used by the home feeds back onto the electrical grid, providing the homeowner with a credit.
-
Off-grid: Or, solar electric power can be used to charge batteries for off-grid or home backup purposes.
-
Mounting: Solar electric arrays are often mounted on a south-facing roof, or where space permits are ground mounted, typically on custom steel or aluminum racking.
-
Electric vehicles: Solar electric generation is a perfect compliment for plug-in electric vehicles.
