A solar power system uses panels that convert sunlight into electricity. A solar energy system can be added to an existing electrical system or can be a standalone system. A system tied into an existing electrical grid is a good option when a power supply already exists. A standalone system, often referred to as an off grid system, costs more, but it is a good alternative when there is no other available power source.

There are many benefits to going solar. First of all, the sun provides an endless supply of clean energy. Since you own the equipment that turns sunlight into electricity, this energy is free and the cost will never go up. If your system creates more electricity than you use, it will cause your meter to run backwards. Your utility company will give you a credit for this unused electricity or buy it back from you. Since your system has no moving parts, there is virtually no maintenance. It will provide clean, free energy for decades.

Going solar also means going green. Since solar power is a green renewable resource, there are incentives offered at the federal, state and local levels to get millions to convert over to solar energy. These incentives can be in the form of rebates, tax credits or a check which helps cover the cost of the system. In many cases, these incentives combine to cover up to 60% of the cost.
