The short answer is no. Solar Panel Systems produce cost efficient electricity but have no mechanism alone to store electricity. In some instances a control module can be installed to direct a very modest current to a few vital low amperage breakers. However, your Solar Panel System will need to be supplemented with a Battery Backup System for electricity recall if you expect emergency energy discharge at any scaled level.

The electricity you generate from your Solar Panel System during daylight hours is enough to power your home throughout the day time AND night time…and that is done through the process of net metering. The excess generated electricity is sent back to the utility company for storage as an energy credit until a later time (perhaps night time) when it is needed. One-to-One net metering is (net metering) with no cost to transact, hence you send $1 and the recalled electricity is also issued at $1. Privately Held Florida Electrical Utilities legally must offer one-to-one net metering, however smaller State owned Cooperatives typically do NOT offer such a straightforward service and should be investigated for a better understanding of the kWh recall value.

This is an attractive option as the aesthetic is far superior to conventional rectangular panels. However, the cost of these systems typically disqualifies them from providing target savings and the technology is too new for comprehension of the sustained roofing durability.

No. While the date of completed installation is certainly exciting, it is not the day of activation. A process known as System Interconnection must be initiated and completed with the Utility Company providing electrical service to the home. Electrical Utilities must ensure the compatibility and safety of the installed Solar panel system before allowing it to be connected with our main electrical grid. Expect this process to take 30 days from initiation.

A Solar Panel system transforms your home into its own independent provider of electricity. This is a very attractive feature of a property to many new home buyers given the rising cost of electricity. In some cases, the Solar Panel system will need to be transferred to the new home buyers which is typically a straightforward process. In some rare cases, the Solar Panel system will have to be paid off completely before completing the home sale.
