Using the sun's power to provide clean, renewable energy makes solar panels extremely attractive to many homeowners in the Bay Area. How exactly does solar work? A San Francisco Bay Area solar contractor from our team can explain! Sunlight strikes the photovoltaic array, generating a DC voltage. An inverter converts this to standard AC voltage. This voltage is fed into the building's circuit panel. Energy from the inverter will then be used to power your home. Any surplus of PV power is fed back to the utility, running your utility meter backward and giving you a credit!
Switching your company over to solar power provides a number of benefits, including cutting back on utility bills and lessening your carbon footprint. Not only will this renewable energy source provide immediate financial benefits, but it will also help set you up for the future. New solar panel installations currently come with a 26% federal tax credit - but at the end of this year, 2020, this will decrease to 22%. Act now to take full advantage of this and other incentives before they expire! What type of commercial solar installation is right for your business?
