PurePoint Energy’s dedication to improving our communities goes beyond the work we do every day. We’re also involved in a number of local events and donate to charities that help make our world a better place.
This is one of the most frequent questions we get from potential clients. We’re more than happy to give you a basic rundown of a few components below:
Typical solar panels consist of approximately 60 photovoltaic (PV) cells that transforms sunlight into direct current (DC) electricity. The number you can install is depends on your location and roof surface area.
The DC power is converted to alternating current (AC) power. This is the same type of electricity that is used in your home or office.
The output of the inverter flows into the electric panel. This is where all the breakers are, and is what allows solar energy to enter the building.
The utility company is required to change your existing meter to a net meter. Upon generating more electricity than needed, the net meter reports the output to your utility company, which gives you a credit at the retail rate, offsetting your next bill.
At night or times of low levels of sunlight, your electricity will come from the grid.
In the unlikely case where your solar system is not performing the way it should, our monitoring systems will send a message to PurePoint Energy and a technician will make a visit to your home.
