What is Solar PV?

Solar PV is short for Solar Photovoltaic’s. This is a type of renewable energy technology that is capable of converting light into electrical current. This electricity can then be used in your home.Grid-tied solar systems are connected to the utility grid. As a result, the excess energy generated by the system is sent back into the grid during the day and drawn back at night, when the system is not producing.

Installing Solar PV on your property has the following benefits:

• Reduces your energy bills for 25+ years.
• Gives you a great return on your investment through the Government’s Tax Credits and Utility Cash rebates.
• Protects you against future electricity price increases.
• Increases the value of your home.
• Reduces your carbon footprint.
• Solar systems are virtually maintenance free.

How does the electricity spread through the home?

The electricity produced by solar panels is a particular type of electricity known as DC – ‘direct current’. However, we use a different type in our homes, known as AC – ‘alternating current’. To convert the electricity into the required form, we use an additional device, called an inverter. The inverter constantly monitors the electricity coming in from the grid, and then modifies the DC produced by the solar panels to match it perfectly. A single AC wire is run in a direction determined on the site survey directly to your main service panel (fuse box) onto a single circuit breaker.

How can I use my Solar PV electricity?

The electricity generated by the Solar PV system is automatically used directly to power your house (lights, television, appliances, etc). Any excess is sold straight back to your supplier; you don’t need to do anything. The utility company will then credit your account for the energy put back into the grid.

How do clouds affect generation?

Solar PV operates on light, rather than heat, so even if the day seems cool – if there is light, the system will be generating electricity. PV systems will therefore generate electricity all year round. Nevertheless, the output will fluctuate seasonally, with the most electricity being produced in the bright summer months.

How do I know if a Solar PV system is suitable for my home?
Solar PV panels are suitable for both urban and rural locations and are adaptable to almost any building which has sufficient exposure to light. Typically, solar PV panels are mounted on a pitched roof; however they can also be mounted on a flat roof or on the ground.

Commercial Solar Services

Solar Panels can be installed on most building types, including offices, warehouses, factories, parking structures and many more.

We offer the highest quality small to large-scale solar systems according to your energy needs. Systems can be mounted on the roof of your building or on a separate structure, i.e. parking structures, and solar trackers.

Solar energy is a great way for your company or commercial building to save money on energy costs and increase environmental responsibility. It's high Return on Investment (ROI) and short payback period makes plenty of financial sense. Moreover, it will enable you to hedge against future energy cost hikes. There has never been a better time to install a solar system for your commercial building.

What are the SolarMax Commercial advantages?

• Cost Effective: Whether you BUY or LEASE, a commercial solar energy system offers a guaranteed Return on Investment. Currently the federal government is offering a 30% Grant  (tax free) for all commercial solar installations.
• Purchase: Available Utility Rebates and Federal Grants allow for a quick return on investment. MACRS depreciation allows a business owner to fully depreciate the cost of the solar system in 1-5 years.
• Lease / PPA Option: A SolarMax Lease or PPA allows commercial and non-profit entities to go solar without any capital investment and save money from day one. Our Lease includes all maintenance and monitoring.

Solar Financing

At SolarMax we make solar PV financing easy. Our goal is to provide smart, simple, cost effective finance packages that make sense.  With our SolarMax Financial Solar Loan our goal is to swap your Electric Bill for your Solar Loan payment.
