Solar power systems convert the energy in sunlight directly into electrical energy within solar cells based on the Photo Voltaic effect. Multiple solar cells, which produce DC power, are electrically interconnected into solar panels. Multiple solar panels are electrically wired together. The number of solar panels installed on a building are generally selected to meet that building’s annual electrical usage, or selected to fill available un-shaded roof or ground space. Solar panels are electrically wired to an inverter, which converts the power from DC to AC and interconnects with the utility grid. The following diagram schematically shows a typical solar power system:
Sunshine Solar concentrates on the design and installation of grid-tied solar power systems. These systems are electrically connected to the utility grid so that excess energy produced during the day flows backwards through the utility’s electric meter, actually running the electric meter backwards. The meter will run backwards when the power produced by the solar system is greater than the power needs of the building. During the evenings or on cloudy days, energy is drawn from the grid normally and the meter runs forwards. Most utilities serving the areas in which we install systems allow for “net metering.” Customers on net metering only pay for the net amount of energy they consume during the year, essentially getting full retail credit for the energy they transmit back onto the utility grid during the day.
Benefits of SolarOnce a solar power system is installed, the cost of generating electricity is fixed over the lifespan of the system. There are no risks that fuel prices will escalate or fuel shortages will develop. In addition, cash paybacks for systems range from 5 to 25 years, depending on the level of state and federal incentives, electric rates, and annualized sun intensity and installation costs.
Solar power systems are installed at the site where the power is to be used, thereby reducing electrical transmission and distribution costs. Solar power systems can be installed on a wide range of sites, including residential roofs, the ground, covered parking structures and large industrial buildings. Solar power systems also have few, if any, moving parts and are generally guaranteed to operate for 25 years resulting in low maintenance and operating costs and reliability. We believe solar power systems are one of the most environmentally friendly way of generating electricity. There are no harmful greenhouse gas emissions, no wasted water, no noise, no waste generation and no particulates.
The federal government, and several states (primarily California, New Jersey and Colorado), which have put a variety of incentive programs in place such as rebates and tax incentives, that reduce the cost of installation of grid-tied solar power systems. To learn more about these incentives and how a solar power system can lower the cost of electricity for your home or commercial building, please contact Sunshine Solar Systems, Inc., via e-mail or phone.
