PV Solar Electric Systems—Residential
Most customers enjoy the benefits of pollution-free solar electricity by installing an on-grid system (attached to the traditional utility), designed to supplement their existing electric options. Unused electricity produced by your system may be bought back by your utility—in effect—making your meter run backwards. Systems can be customized to meet the needs of your specific location. Solar Works will help you determine the system that is right for you.

Customers that experience frequent power outages with their existing utility, may want to consider a battery back-up system (uninterrupted power source or UPS). Systems with battery back-up will continue to supply power for critical household functions such as heat, refrigeration water pumps, computers and telephones for a specified period of time in the event of a utility outage. A battery back-up system can be integrated into most on-grid solar electric applications.
Features and Benefits
- Automatically engages if power is disrupted
- Works silently and without fossil fuels
- Powers critical functions during a blackout
- Unlike a generator, no annual service contract
- Recharges from solar panels automatically
- Offers sense of personal security
Solar Works will assess your power needs, as well as, the frequency and duration of the outages in your area to recommend a battery system that will meet your requirements.
