Solar Photovoltaic (PV) power provides a great method to mitigate your daily power uses. Every day the panels will be hard at work converting solar light emissions into useful Direct Current (DC) power that then is inverted into Alternating Current (AC) power for use in your home. Typically a PV system will greatly overproduce in the peak production months (summer) so as to accumulate production credits with your local electrical utility company through a Net Metering Agreement. These credits will provide for the lower production months (Winter) and keep you paying only the minimum service charges ($10-$25). These monthly savings create a quick return on investment as the lifetime of the system is typically over 20years. Systems are typically installed on your roof facing south so as to maximize the daytime hours of solar production for our area.

Solar Electric eliminates your monthly power bill. This monthly saving will compound as Electric rates ever increase. The longer the system runs the greater your return on investment.

Solar PV is clean, efficient, and reliable with no moving parts and extremely minimal maintenance. Cleaning of the panels happens naturally as rain will consistently remove most debris. With a hose, from the ground, you can easily clean your system and it is only really necessary about once a year.

Solar Electric systems work great in Oregon as the cooler climate keeps the solar modules at a better performance temperature. Additionally the above average rainfall keeps them cleaner than a dry and dusty area. Solar production is highly variable depending on the available sunlight, panel orientation, and shading due to trees or other obstacles. Whenever there is any daylight the PV modules will be converting that energy into usable electricity. Every day all day is a lot of time and quickly adds up to large amounts of usable electricity, even on cloudy days there is a large amount of solar energy harvested.

Wrapping Up with Key Insights

Solar PV systems are a great investment for your home or business. Installation happens fast, produces power immediately, and locks you into a much better monthly bill with your local power utility. You will be protected from the ever increasing price hikes that utility companies are bound to impose. The quality attachment methods prevent roof leaks and minimize roof penetrations, ensuring a long lasting and weather-proof self power production means.
