Solar Electric technology, often referred to as PV which is short for photovoltaic, works by converting sunlight into electricity. Made from refined silica, solar cells are formed into products such as solar panels and solar roofing shingles. When exposed to sunlight, these cells generate electrical current. The electricity created is used in your home or business, thereby reducing your consumption from your utility company.
Currently, there are many rebates and incentives that help offset the cost of a PV installation. These rebates and incentives can pay for anywhere between 40% and 60% of the system cost.
PV systems are virtually maintenance-free and they have a long life expectancy, ensuring an excellent investment.
