The capacity of a solar installation depends on load requirements, available shadow-free space (100 sq ft per 1 kW), and adherence to state-sanctioned load limits.
Solar energy systems depend on silicon wafers to convert sunlight into electricity. These semiconducting wafers release electrons when exposed to sunlight, generating Direct Current electricity, enabling solar systems to harness renewable energy for sustainable power.
A grid-connected solar rooftop system does not generate electricity during a grid outage. However, solar power systems with batteries provide backup power and continue to generate electricity during an outage. More details are provided in the Products Section.
Excess solar energy is exported to the grid during the day when not consumed by the premises. At night, energy is imported. Customers are credited for excess exports and billed for net grid consumption.
