How It Works

Solar panels generate electricity without greenhouse gas emissions during operation. Although manufacturing and disposal have environmental impacts, solar electricity generally has much lower lifecycle emissions than fossil-fuel electricity.

Photovoltaic panels convert sunlight into direct-current electricity. An inverter converts it into alternating-current electricity for use in homes and businesses.

Homeowners may explore rooftop solar. Eligible renters may explore community solar, while business owners can investigate commercial energy solutions. Availability depends on location, utility, property and program requirements.

Solar farms contain large groups of solar panels that generate electricity. Some support community solar programs, allowing eligible subscribers to receive utility-bill credits without installing panels on their own property.

Yes. Solar panels can generate electricity during cloudy weather, although production is generally lower than under direct sunlight. Output depends on weather, shading, equipment and system design.

Potential savings depend on your electricity usage, utility rates, roof condition, property orientation, shading, system size, financing options, and available incentives. Solar Info America provides a preliminary estimate through its free online energy analysis. In most situations, a professional site survey is required to properly evaluate the property, determine an appropriate solar system, and establish a more accurate savings projection. If you decide to move forward, we can help coordinate the necessary site survey and eligibility verification. Final savings depend on the completed assessment and the terms of the selected solar solution.
