Customize your Solar Installation for your Home or Building Renewable Energy the Need of the Day The world is on the brink of a disaster. The years of burning fossil fuels and their derivatives are now coming to haunt us in the form of global warming and the steady increase in the carbon footprint. The only choice before us is to switch to renewable energy sources.
There are several of these sources today. Besides solar energy, these sources include wind power, hydropower, biomass, bio-fuel and geothermal energy. Solar (AZ) power is one of the most viable among these renewable energy sources. A custom solar installation in AZ, Coachella, Indio and Palm Springs is viable owing to a number of reasons, the primary among these reasons being that solar energy is going to be around for another billion years.
The Viability of Solar Energy Systems Solar (AZ) power is also viable because of the large number of sunny days available in the state. Besides, there are leading solar installers in Arizona that can create a solar system that will reduce almost your entire electricity costs thereby protecting you from the rising electricity costs. The custom solar installation in AZ will add value to your home or building. It will also pay for itself in the years to come and yet not increase your property taxes. A solar system is environmentally friendly. It does not pollute the surroundings unlike the systems that use fossil fuels. There are several state and federal incentives for the use of solar energy. With the help of these incentives it is possible for you to save the bulk of your system cost. Solar technology is simple and proven. Not only will you not pay for its maintenance over the years but the panels are also covered by a 25-year warranty from the manufacturer. Photovoltaic Cells and Net Metering Photovoltaic cells are used for the purpose of generating solar (AZ) power. Sunlight falling on these cells generates DC power which is used to charge a bank of batteries. With a simple circuit the DC is converted into AC which is used to run power appliances and provide light or heat. An array of these cells is connected so that adequate electricity is provided for your home. On a sunny day when one cannot consume the power generated, the surplus power is bypassed into the utility grid thereby making your meter go backwards. The power passed on can thereafter be used by your home. A custom solar installation in AZ can give you this option known as net metering. This option is part of the Renewable Incentive Program provided by Arizona Public Service (APS).
