CUSTOMER FAQ’S

Solar panels require very little upkeep, but there is some occasional maintenance and inspection to help ensure optimal performance. You should wash your panels with water when there is built up dirt or dust. Inspect your panels on occasion to look for any visual defects, and check for rust on the mounting.

Net metering is a billing mechanism that gives you credit for the electricity your solar energy system is adding to the grid. During the daylight hours, your system will generally produce more energy than your home is using. As a result, the excess energy is transferred to the grid causing your electricity meter to run backwards. This acts as a credit against the electricity consumed at night or when your home’s use exceeds the system’s output.

The difference in your production level in these two different locations is a result of how your system is hooked into your home for maximum efficiency. As your panels produce power during the day, they will channel the energy directly into your home and as that energy is being used. This means during the times when you are both producing and consuming power, the energy from your panels will run directly into your home to supplement your consumption. This results in the power traveled directly into your home not reporting to the power grid to be recorded by your utility company.
