In today’s day and age, some people may be intent on decreasing their carbon footprint - in part because they may not want to be dependent on a source that is ultimately dwindling, and possibly also because they would like to be involved in creating less pollution. Using solar systems for homes is one of the best ways to achieve this purpose. After all, it is cost-effective, requires the least amount of maintenance, can last for years, and is one of the cleanest alternative energy sources available. Solar energy systems can allow homeowners to enjoy independence, while also potentially qualifying for rebates and other incentives - all while living a greener lifestyle.
Creating an effective and efficient solar energy system often starts with a meeting with the homeowner, where factors like the house’s current energy usage, wiring and electrical system, the number of occupants and their personal requirements, along with the collective requirements of the house can be reviewed. Contractors may also observe other factors, such as the location of the house, the condition of its roof, and the angles for sun visibility. They then may proceed to prepare the roof to place the solar panels and add the inverter and battery (to convert the solar energy into electricity). The wiring can then be set up and updated, if needed. Homeowners may also get the option to continue using solar panels and stay “on the grid.” This often allows them to sell their extra electricity, depending on availability as well as local, state and current federal regulations applicable to the area. Fix The Home is dedicated to helping homeowners take on their solar projects throughout the United States, including California, Florida, Texas, and Arizona.
