the Solar Process

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Solar panels, also known as photovoltaic (PV) panels, convert sunlight into electricity using semiconductor materials. When sunlight hits the panels, it excites the electrons in the material, generating direct current (DC) electricity, which is then converted to alternating current (AC) by an inverter for use in your home or business.


  • Solar panels are designed to be highly durable and can withstand various environmental conditions. These panels were designed from the ground up to be reliable for thirty to forty years sometimes even fifty!

  • Yes, solar panels can still produce electricity even when it’s cloudy! While their output may be slightly reduced compared to sunny days, solar panels still capture solar energy to help power your home!

  • Net metering is a billing arrangement where excess electricity generated by your solar panels is sent back to the grid, and you receive credits on your electricity bill. This can offset the cost of power you draw from the grid when your system isn’t producing enough electricity.
