The off-grid solar energy system is designed by conducting a load calculation of the amperage load from the designated appliances and other items in the home. This calculation will tell us the number of batteries and solar panels needed to meet that amperage load.
Never Be Without Water Again!

The hybrid solar energy system is designed to offer the best of both worlds and it is our top selling installed system. This system is designed using a 48V battery bank that is charged by the solar panels. The system powers the 120V circuits and critical load items. Any excess energy produced, once the batteries are fully charged, feeds back into the utility grid.
The costs of solar manufacturing, components, and installation have dropped significantly and will continue to fall. With Deutsche Bank predicting that solar PV will be at grid parity in parts of the U.S. in 2016, #SolarIsNow ready to be installed in most grid-tied areas.
Our grid-tied solar panel installations usually take two or three days, ground mounts and hybrids can take a little longer. We obtain all required permits and necessary documentation for net metering with your local utility company. You can rest easy knowing all of our solar energy systems are installed by a licensed electrical contractor and are code compliant.
Below are three of our most popular size, installed, solar energy systems. These systems are grid-tied, roof mounts at $2.85/w (plus tax and freight).
​Ground Mounts $2.95/w (plus tax and freight).
