Ideally at 80–110%, to compensate for panel overproduction in bright sunlight and to avoid compromising inverter efficiency. Select an Appropriate Inverter Rating Here's how inverter sizes usually correlate: Panels: 3,000 – 6,000 W Inverter: 3,000 W to 5,500 W.
Solar panels do not need ultraviolet (UV) light to generate electricity. Standard silicon solar panels respond to wavelengths from about 400 to 1,100 nanometers, which means they primarily convert visible light and near-infrared light into power.
Get your solar panel installation project started by requesting a free in-home energy consultation using the form above. Our licensed, local professionals will review your solar energy needs, provide product recommendations, and review your pricing and financing options.
Securing authorization from your electrical provider is mandatory to link your solar energy installation to the utility network so your panels can begin producing power for your residence and accumulating net metering benefits (where applicable).
