A solar system is your own personal power plant, silently delivering clean electricity into your home. Every kilowatt-hour (kWh) your residential solar system produces is energy you are not purchasing from your utility. Over time—as utility rates continue to increase—the rate at which you save continues to increase.
Why is now the best time?
So...how does residential solar work?
How we size your system
Our starting point is typically to design a system that covers 100% of the energy you use in your home. However, as the homeowner you have complete control over the scope of your solar system. We are happy to work with your goals and your budget to design the right solar system for you!
1. Project Scope
2. Site Specifics
3. Your Goals
The first step to design your system involves sizing it appropriately for your electricity needs. These steps will walk you through downloading your historical electricity usage and a copy of your most recent bill, so we can get started on your system design.

FAQs
Utility customers who generate their own electricity and are connected to the utility’s distribution grid offset electricity that would otherwise be purchased from the utility. There may be times when the customer’s system generates more electricity than the home needs during the day, week or month. In these cases, a credit is issued to the customer’s account for the excess power, which can be used during the following month(s) until the annual true-up. In other words, the customer will only pay for the energy that the utility provides.
Due to weight limitations of the roof on a standard mobile home, roof installations are often not possible. Systems can be installed on manufactured homes if they were designed for a 30 lb/sqft snow load. Please refer to your manufactured home specifications, listed on the metal placard on the side of the home, to verify the snow load specifications.
