Understanding Residential Solar
Potential Energy Savings
Solar may help a household generate some of its own electricity, depending on system design and conditions.
Renewable Energy
Solar uses sunlight as an energy source and can form part of a broader home-energy strategy.
Energy Planning
System size and equipment can be considered alongside a home's energy use and future needs.
Battery Storage
Optional batteries can store energy for later use and may provide backup power depending on the system.
How Residential Solar Works
Solar panels convert sunlight into electricity. An inverter converts the generated electricity into a form that household equipment can use.
A project may include a roof assessment, system design, permitting, installation and electrical work. The exact process varies by property and location.
Homeowners should review equipment specifications, warranties, financing terms and installation details before making a decision.
