When your roofing company installs solar roofing, it generates clean electricity…absorbing sunlight and converting it to DC electricity. The DC electricity is directed to an inverter located next to your utility meter, and the inverter converts it to everyday AC electricity. This is the same form of power you buy from the utility and use throughout your home.

When the sun is shining, your home uses power from both the solar system and the utility. At night, your electricity comes entirely from the utility.

By mixing the two energy supplies, you’re able to avoid paying the top-dollar, premium rates charged by the utility for some of your kilowatt usage each month.

1. The Solar Roofing

These convert the sunlight into DC electricity. If your roof is optimal for solar tiles, they can also serve as a roofing material. If not, we can incorporate sleek solar panels that sit on top of a roof.

2. The Inverter

A small box, about 2×3 feet, that sits next to your main service panel. It converts DC electricity to AC.

3. The Utility meter

The solar system connects to your main service panel, which allows you to draw less power from the utility…your meter slows down. At night, you still get all your power from the utility.

4. Monitoring

Our limited performance guarantee includes 24/7 remote monitoring. We’ll make sure everything’s running properly, and you can check on your system’s performance.
