Why More Homeowners Are Choosing Solar

More homeowners are discovering the long-term benefits of solar energy. With electric bills going up and power outages becoming more frequent, switching to solar is a smart and practical decision. Residential solar installation gives you greater energy control, cleaner power, and consistent savings over time.

Solar technology has become more affordable and efficient. Over the past five years, system prices have dropped more than 20%, while performance has improved significantly. Our solar panels, inverters, and storage systems now come with warranties that last up to 25 years, which ensures durability and value.

Types of Residential Solar Installation

We offer three types of residential solar installation, each designed to meet different energy goals. Whether you’re aiming to cut electricity costs or become fully self-sufficient, we’ll help you find the best fit.

For many, staying connected to the power grid is the most cost-effective approach. A grid-tied system uses solar energy when the sun is out and pulls electricity from the grid when it’s not. If your goal is mainly financial savings, this setup usually works best.

If you want more independence, we can install a grid-tied system with battery storage. This allows you to store solar energy for nighttime use or outages. It’s a great option if your utility company doesn’t offer net metering or gives poor credit for excess energy.

For those who live in remote areas or want full autonomy, we specialize in off-grid systems. These setups provide complete energy independence and are ideal for cabins, farms, or rural homes. We carefully design these systems to meet your energy needs year-round—even during low sunlight periods.

The Role of Battery Storage in Solar Systems

Battery storage gives you more control over how and when you use solar power. While grid-connected systems work well, batteries allow you to keep more of the energy you produce.

With a battery system, you can store solar power for emergencies, use it at night, or draw from it when electricity rates are higher. This is especially useful if your local utility doesn’t pay much for the energy you send back.

We proudly offer trusted battery systems like the Generac PWRCell. It’s a powerful option for homeowners who want peace of mind, energy independence, or more control over their power use. With our expert installation, you get a system that works reliably and efficiently.
