Solar Panels
Everything you need to know about the panels that power your home—how they work, how they're installed, and how you can monitor them from anywhere.
How Solar Panels Work
Solar panels convert sunlight directly into electricity through the photovoltaic effect—a process discovered over 180 years ago and perfected for your roof.
Sunlight Hits Panels
Photons from sunlight strike the solar cells, exciting electrons in the silicon semiconductor material.
DC Electricity Generated
The excited electrons flow through the cell, creating direct current (DC) electricity.
Inverter Converts Power
An inverter converts the DC electricity into alternating current (AC) that your home appliances use.
Power Your Home
Clean solar electricity flows to your electrical panel, powering everything in your home.
Racking & Mounting
Your solar panels are secured to your roof using professional-grade racking systems engineered to withstand decades of weather while protecting your roof's integrity.
Engineered for Your Roof
Racking systems are customized for your roof type—whether asphalt shingle, tile, metal, or flat roof.
Waterproof Flashing
Every roof penetration uses industry-leading flashing to prevent leaks and maintain your roof warranty.
Wind & Snow Rated
Systems are engineered to meet local building codes for wind uplift and snow loads in your area.
Optimal Angle
Rails position panels at the ideal angle to maximize sun exposure and energy production year-round.
How Inverters Connect to Panels
Inverters are the brain of your solar system—converting the DC power from your panels into usable AC electricity for your home and enabling smart monitoring.
String Inverters
One central inverter handles power from all panels—cost-effective for unshaded roofs.
Microinverters
Each panel has its own inverter—maximizes output when shade affects some panels.
Hybrid Inverters
Combines solar + battery functionality in one unit for seamless backup power.
Smart Monitoring
All modern inverters connect to apps so you can track production in real-time.
Monitor Your System From Anywhere
Your solar system connects to manufacturer apps that let you track energy production, consumption, and savings—all from your smartphone.
