You might ask yourself, with other local options available, why choose Solar Lights & More? Since 1996, we have sold and installed more solar products than any other company in the area. This is a testament to our stellar reputation and the loyal customers who choose us time and time again. Solar panels can supply protection during outages, increase your home’s overall value, and reduce your carbon footprint. If you’re thinking of making the switch to solar panels, here are some of the reasons why you should choose to partner with the professional team at Solar Lights & More:
Solar Electric or Photovoltaic (PV) systems reduce or eliminate the amount of electricity you currently buy from your utility service to power your home or business. Solar power systems will provide you with fixed energy costs, so no more enduring rate increases!
Solar Energy is clean, renewable, and dependable. It will help reduce our reliance on fossil fuels, a significant contributor to global climate changes and the conflict in the Middle East.
Solar Electric systems have little to no maintenance costs once installed. Warranties may range from 25-30 years and include power production. With the help of tax incentives and tax credits, the costs of installing solar have dropped dramatically recently.
Your solar electric system will help your community when you generate more than you use during peak demands. You may also “run your meter backward,” and the utility will pay you for the electricity you produce!
With over 29 years in the solar industry, Solar Lights & More has the experience, dedication, and knowledge to install your solar electric system to run smoothly for many years to come. Solar Lights & More is a Premier Dealer ranked number one in the solar industry among many manufacturers.
Types of Solar Electric
Panels
Panels
When selecting solar electric panels for your home, you should know the two technologies available. Both options provide the same fundamental benefit of fixed energy costs and independence from escalating utility rates, but differ in energy production and cost:
- Monocrystalline Solar Panels - These are constructed from a single silicon crystal, yielding a sleek, uniform black appearance. Their color makes them highly efficient in converting sunlight into energy and returning long-term value, but they are more expensive to install.
- Polycrystalline Solar Panels - These are made from multiple fused silicon crystals, resulting in a distinct blue tint. While they're more affordable, the blue hue makes them slightly less efficient than monocrystalline panels.
The Solar Electric Installation Process
Here’s what you can expect when you work with our company for solar panel installation:
- On-Site Consultation – We’ll visit your home, survey your property, and discuss the different types and brands of solar panels available.
- Permitting – We’ll acquire the necessary permits for the project to ensure everything is to code.
- Scheduling – Your installation will be scheduled, and our solar electric installers usually complete jobs in one to three days, depending on the project size.
- Inspection & Connection – Once the project passes inspection, your panels will be connected to the electrical grid, allowing you to generate and use power captured by the sun.
Cost and Financing Options for Solar Electric Services
The cost of installing solar panels depends on several factors, including the type and brand, and the number of installed panels. During the consultation, we'll provide a clear written estimate outlining the number of panels based on your electrical usage habits. We offer several specials, including $0 down financing programs based on credit approval. This is an affordable option to enjoy the benefits of solar now while paying over time.
