Things you might want to know about solar power |
 |
What
is photovoltaic?
Photovoltaic (solar electricity) technology is considered to be the
most promising and elegant means of renewable energy production for the
future. It provides an easy and reliable way of converting sunlight directly
into electricity.
How does photovoltaic
technology benefit me?
It allows you to generate electricity for your home or business, independent
of your utility company. As the world’s energy needs increase, energy
prices are steadily rising and becoming volatile.
Solar energy is the answer! By generating your own electricity, you can take an
important step in helping to protect yourself against an uncertain energy
future. |

What rebates or incentives apply
to my system?
Federal, State, and Municipal incentives combined may save you 30 to 80%
on the acquisition costs of your system. Please click on Photovoltaics/Incentives for
specifics.
What
is net metering?
Net metering measures the difference between the amount of electricity
you buy from your local utility and the amount you generate from your solar
electric system. With net metering you are only charged for the net amount
of electricity you use. Metering is done either annually or monthly. Currently
net metering is offered in more than 35 states.

What
happens to the electricity that I do not use during
a given day?
If your state offers net metering, you will receive credit for all the
unused electricity which you created. This credit will be used to offset
the times in which your electricity consumption was more than the amount
of electricity your system produced (e.g. Evening ). At the end of the
month or year, depending on your state, you will pay just the net difference.
How do I maintain my system?
SunTechnics systems are low maintenance. Generally, it is only necessary
to spray down the solar panels at regular intervals to remove any debris
and dust. Depending on the location of your system, an annual cleaning
may suffice. Please refer to your owner’s manual for more information
or feel free to contact us.
