Many people are initially hesitant about solar energy because they don’t understand how solar panels actually work and create electricity. The process itself is much like any other generator, except the panels themselves utilize the sun’s rays (collected by photovoltaic cells) to generate direct current electricity. Then, the electricity is taken through an inverter, which allows it to be dispersed in a building just like any other electricity. There have been huge advances in this technology, which is why more and more people are adopting it for the homes, businesses, and even farms! Solar energy is incredibly versatile, and you can work with a solar energy expert who will help you find the ideal solution for your setup.

Making Solar Energy Accessible

We make the process of getting solar panels incredibly easy for anyone interested. After a free consultation over the phone, we send one of our solar energy experts to perform an onsite evaluation. From there, we come to you with a proposal regarding the overall setup, including an estimated timeline for completion, and explain all the financial incentives available to you.

Generating Solar Energy For the Future

One of the best aspects of the solar panels we use is that they’re long lasting and dependable. Decades after they’re installed you, can still expect them to work efficiently and generate electricity for use. Besides the work we do everyday, we also contribute to a number of charities, and work with local schools to educate students about the various benefits of solar energy.

Solar Panels
Typical solar panels consist of approximately 60 photovoltaic (PV) cells that transforms sunlight into direct current (DC) electricity. The number you can install is dependent on your location and roof surface area.
Inverter
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.
Electric Panel
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.
Utilities
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.
The Utility Grid
At night or times of low levels of sunlight, your electricity will come from the grid.
System Performance
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.
