We strive to educate and empower individuals and businesses to make the switch to solar energy, ultimately creating a brighter future for all.



Turning Sunlight into Electricity

Understandably, the process of converting sunlight into electricity may sound complex. In actuality, solar panels operate on a relatively simple yet extremely innovative principle. A typical solar power system consists of solar panels, an inverter, a mounting structure, and wiring. In some cases, a backup battery may be included to store excess energy for later use. The solar panels convert sunlight, a renewable energy source, into electricity through the use of solar cells. Each solar cell is made up of two layers of semiconducting material. When sunlight hits these cells, the energy of the light separates the closely packed electrons from their atoms, causing them to move freely. This creates an electrical current that can be captured and converted into usable electricity by an inverter.


Powering Homes, Businesses, and Communities

Once converted, solar electricity can travel through a building's electrical panel and be distributed to the various circuits for use. It can power everything from appliances and lighting to heating and cooling systems. The amount of electricity generated by solar panels depends on various factors such as the location, angle, and number of panels installed. If excess power is generated, it can be stored in a battery or sent back to the electric grid in a process known as net metering. This allows solar panel owners to receive credits for any excess electricity they produce and contribute to the overall energy supply.


Caring For Your Solar Panels

Solar panels are relatively low-maintenance, requiring periodic cleaning and inspection. However, their efficiency can be affected by shading, dust, and the angle and direction they face. That's why it's essential to have a professional solar installer handle the installation, ensuring that your panels are optimally placed for maximum efficiency. They can also help with monitoring your system's performance and identifying any potential issues. With proper installation and maintenance, solar panels have a lifespan of up to 25-30 years.


A Viable Solution for a Greener Future

Solar power is a clean, renewable source of energy that can substantially reduce reliance on fossil fuels, promote energy independence, and contribute to environmental sustainability. At Solari Solar Power, we are committed to harnessing the power of the sun and transforming it into cost-effective, clean energy for your home or business. As more people embrace solar power, the technology continues to advance, making it an even more accessible and viable energy source.
