Solar Energy Solutions

When homeowners go solar, they reduce their reliance on the commercial electricity grid and can lock in their energy rates for decades to come. The resulting savings, combined with federal and state rebates, make going solar a very attractive investment.

Solar power is a clean, renewable energy source. It produces zero emissions and greatly reduces the need for fossil fuels, which contribute to climate change. By using less fossil fuels, solar production decreases carbon dioxide emissions as well as other harmful air pollutants such as sulfur oxides and nitrogen oxides.

The potential for Star Plus Energy in the United States is huge. One hour of noontime summer sun is enough to meet the annual electricity demands of a typical American family. Even places with more cloud cover, like the Pacific Northwest and Alaska, can experience cost savings when they go solar.

Photovoltaics (PV) are the most widely known form of solar technology. These devices convert sunlight into electric current by the photovoltaic effect, an electric process that occurs naturally in certain types of materials. Groups of PV cells are configured into modules and arrays, which are then used to power a variety of electrical applications.

There are many factors to consider when choosing to install a solar energy system. A professional installer will help you understand how the different systems work and where they should be installed on your roof. They can also advise you on the best financing options, including cash purchases, solar loans and lease agreements. They can also assist you in applying for any available incentives, which can drastically reduce the upfront costs of a solar energy system.
