Energy Detectives

Valley Energy Solar specializes in residential, commercial, agricultural and public solar system installation and project management, with a strong belief in the viability and long-term potential of solar energy. Solar energy is made possible by the photovoltaic effect, a process that converts light (photons) to electricity (voltage). First identified in 1954, this discovery led scientists to create photovoltaic (PV) cells using silicon, which capture sunlight and make solar-generated electricity possible.

The turnout was amazing and we are thrilled to see the excitement from the folks in Meadville, PA and surrounding communities. The seminar focused on solar technology and how it applies to real installations in our region as well as the success owners are experiencing. Also addressed were current incentives from the Federal government as well as grants from the USDA. We look forward to our upcoming seminar on solar energy at the Millcreek Metro Parks in Canfield, Oh on Thursday March 24 at 6pm. Please contact Erin at 330-702-0147 to RSVP or for more information.

Data from the Rocky Mountain Institute says utility bills represent 30% of operating costs for the average business. Valley Energy Solar helps our customers reduce their energy expenses by making commercial solar a part of their broader energy strategy. Our goal is to maximize customer savings that can be reinvested into differentiating and growing their core business. Businesses are constantly seeking opportunities to reduce operating costs. A solar investment provides utility savings and creates long-term energy savings as costs continue to rise, creating a more predictable portfolio for your business.

Solar power is energy from the sun that is converted into thermal or electrical energy. Solar energy is the cleanest and most abundant renewable energy source available, and the U.S. has some of the richest solar resources in the world. Solar technologies can harness this energy for a variety of uses, including generating electricity, providing light or a comfortable interior environment, and heating water for domestic, commercial, or industrial use. With the dramatic decline in manufacturing, installation and equipment costs, solar photovoltaic (PV) and solar thermal are more cost-effective than ever before.

Solar has financial benefits to each individual system owner, but just as important is the part you play in the movement towards energy independence in our country. As each new solar energy system is installed, we're using more and more clean and free power from the sun to preserve our environment for years to come. Residential solar energy systems can be used to provide electrical power and/or Solar + Storage. Residential systems can be either roof- or ground-mount; the type of system depends on which will provide maximum capture of the sun's energy as determined by the initial site evaluation.
