Residential solar
Solar panel installation, designed around your home.
We look at your roof, your energy use and your goals, then design and install a system that makes sense for your household.
The basics
How residential solar works.
Panels produce electricity
Solar panels on your roof turn sunlight into electricity during the day.
An inverter makes it usable
The inverter converts that power into the electricity your home runs on.
Your home uses it first
Solar power supplies your household's needs as it's produced.
The grid fills the gaps
You stay connected to the utility for times your panels aren't producing — and, under applicable program rules, extra production may be credited.

Is your home a fit?
What we look at before recommending solar.
Property suitability
Orientation, available roof space and overall layout affect how much a system can produce.
Roof considerations
Roof age, condition and material matter. If your roof needs work, it's usually best to address it first.
Shading
Trees and nearby buildings can reduce production. We'll review how much shading affects your roof.
Electricity consumption
Your bills tell us how much energy your home uses, which shapes the size of system that makes sense.
