Components of your Solar Installation :

Solar Panels

Solar, typically made from silicon alloys, convert the sun's energy in to DC electricity. Strings of cells are encased in a rigid frame and connected together to make up a solar panel. Panels are typically installed on a rooftop to maximize their exposure to the sun. Multiple panels are required to meet the electricity requirements of an average household.

Rooftop Racking

Racking for home solar power installation is placed just above the existing roof. Racking connects through small penetrations into footings, which are mounted directly into the roofing truss, which is the strongest part of the roof structure.

Inverter

The DC power that is created by the solar panels is sent to an inverter, which converts the power to AC electricity, which is the type of power that is used in the home.

Utility Meter & Grid

The utility meter is an existing part of your electrical system and serves to monitor your electricity usage. Once your solar power home system is connected, your utility meter will now serve a dual purpose: it will also track the amount of electricity that you generate in excess of your usage. Amounts generated in excess of your usage are fed automatically back into your Electricity Companie's grid, becoming available for use by others (donâ€™t worryâ€”you get credit for this!).
