Solar energy is a clean, economical method of producing power for your home or business. While the costs of grid power continue to rise over time, the costs of producing your own power from the sun have steadily fallen. The major types of solar installations are:

• Off Grid
• Grid Tied
• Solar Hot Water

Advance Power can provide these solutions to your home or business location.

Off-Grid PV Systems

Photovoltaic (PV) Solar systems for off-grid use need backup systems, usually battery arrays. They are often combined with a second power source such as a wind turbine.

Grid-Tied PV Solar Systems

Connecting your location to both the solar array and the power grid is the most desirable option. When energy production is high the electric company meter will run backwards giving credit back to the energy producer. When power production falls, the grid is already on tap and fully available.

Solar Hot Water

Another type of solar energy system heats water directly, as it is pumped through a heat collector. These systems are very effective at heating water for household use, swimming pools, or other hot water applications.
