Smarter Energy Solutions for your Home

A home solar system works by converting sunlight into electricity through solar panels, typically installed on your roof. These panels absorb sunlight and generate direct current (DC) electricity. The DC electricity is then sent to an inverter, which converts it into alternating current (AC) electricity—the type your home uses. This electricity powers your home, and any excess energy can be sent back to the grid or stored in a battery for later use. By using solar energy, you reduce your reliance on the grid and can significantly lower your electricity bills.

Yes, you can add more panels to your existing solar system, but there are a few factors to consider. First, you'll need to check if your inverter can handle the additional capacity; if not, you might need to upgrade it. You should also ensure your roof has enough space and that your mounting system can accommodate the extra panels. Additionally, your local utility regulations and net metering policies may affect how much additional solar capacity you can add

Yes, you can add battery backups to your existing solar system. Battery storage allows you to store excess energy generated during the day for use at night or during power outages, providing greater energy independence and reliability. To add a battery, your system will need to be compatible, and you may need to install an additional inverter or upgrade your current one, depending on the battery type. It’s recommended to consult with your solar provider to ensure a seamless integration and to choose the right battery system that meets your energy needs.

If you move, the solar panels generally stay on the current house for the next owner. You’ll need to notify your leasing company to discuss options. They may offer to transfer the lease to the new owner or help you with other solutions.
