How Salt Lake City Solar Energy Works
How does solar work?
A home solar system generates electricity from sunlight. Although they may look complicated, solar panels have very few moving parts and require little or no maintenance. They make no noise and no pollution - just clean, reliable solar electricity directly from the sun.
A home solar system is comprised of solar panels, a solar racking system to hold the solar panels on your roof, electrical wiring, and an solar DC/AC power inverter. Solar panels are mounted on your roof and wired together. During daylight hours they generate DC solar electricity and send it to the power inverter where it is converted into AC power and then flows into your home to be used by your appliances.
When you install a residential Salt Lake City solar energy system, your utility monitors how much power you use. If your solar system generates more electricity than you need, your system will send the extra power to your utility, crediting you for the solar power you created but didn't use. If you use more power than you generate (like at night, for example) you draw power from your utility as usual. Your utility will bill you based on your overall electricity consumption, automatically factoring in your solar production. This is net metering.
Home Salt Lake City Solar Energy Systems help you take control of rising electricity costs
When you solar power your home you are individually harnessing the power of the sun to create electricity for yourself, right where it counts, and doing so puts you in greater control of your electricity costs. Going solar can help protect you from the steady and rising energy rate hikes of your utility company, which usually rise at up to 6% a year.
Home Solar Systems make us more energy secure and more energy independent
Using solar energy reduces our reliance on foreign resources - helping make the USA more energy independent. The US currently imports an increasing percentage of its primary energy needs, increasing our susceptibility to price volatility and shortages. With resource crunches hitting the headlines as well as environmental disasters, generating your own clean solar electricity is one small step towards shifting the world toward a healthier and sustainable renewable energy source.
