Solar Electricity Installation & Replacement

Choose the right solar electricity system for your home

• Solar Panels: This is the most common solar electricity solution and has grown more and more efficient over the years. Between 1954 and 2019, the efficiency of solar panels has gone from 6% to 40%. Residential panels have a lifespan of about 25 years and are generally mounted on a south-facing roof or on the ground nearby to ensure they get as much sunlight as possible. This sunlight is then converted into electric power for the home or commercial building.
• Solar Roofing Shingles: These roofing shingles are very similar to solar panels, but with a few key differences. The most noticeable being the installation. Solar panels are mounted above the roof which makes them bulky and noticeable. In contrast, solar roofing shingles are laid in line with the roof and often blend in with the already existing shingles, giving your roof a uniform and sleek appearance. While solar panels are slightly more energy-efficient, solar roofing shingles are often slightly more cost-effective.
• Solar Batteries: If your solar panels are producing more electricity than you need, you could choose to install solar batteries. These batteries will collect the excess electricity for use at a later time. This helps you save even more money on your electric bill and even provides a backup source of power in the case of a grid outage.
