Solar power is bad if you happen to work for the electric company. In that case, you most likely don’t want solar power to take off because it takes money out of the electric company’s pocket. Every time a customer goes solar, that reduces the amount of power that the electric company can sell. While they’ll still charge that customer a connection fee, they don’t get to sell them as much, or possibly any electricity any more. When you multiply that by hundreds or even thousands of homes and businesses on one utility, it starts to add up pretty quickly. So if you work for the utility company or someone in your family works there, you might not be thrilled about the idea of solar power becoming more mainstream. However, for everyone else…it’s definitely a good thing!

One of the common questions that we get from people preparing for a worst-case scenario is if their solar system will work after an EMP blast. The truth is that, no one really knows, because there hasn’t ever been a large scale EMP attack before. Factors like the location and strength of the EMP blast will play a role in what electronics still work. One thing to keep in mind is that over 99% of solar systems are connected to the utility grid. This means that if the grid goes down, the solar system most likely will not work either. If you don’t have a battery backup with your solar system, then the system will not work when the grid goes down. Even if your system isn’t necessarily damaged directly by the EMP, if the grid is down, your system will be down as well. If you have a battery backup system, there’s a chance that the system could still work after the EMP attack, but no one can really guarantee for sure if it would.

Solar cells are the main components that comprise solar panels (modules). They are typically small, square-shaped or rectangular pieces that are blue or black. You can see several of them on the front of a solar panel. This is where the “magic” happens with a solar system. The cells are made of silicon and when sunlight hits them, electrons start to move. These moving electrons cause a current to be created inside the cell. Multiple solar cells are connected together within the panel. Each panel typically has 3 strings of cells within it. The currents of each solar cell combine together, which increases the power as it leaves the panel. There are different types of solar cells and different ways to make them, but they all fulfill the same basic purpose, which is to generate electricity from sunlight.

Solar panels make electricity from sunlight. The end. Just kidding! It’s a little more complex than that. Solar panels are comprised of solar cells. These cells collect sunlight, which makes electrons move inside them. This creates a DC electrical current. The cells are wired together inside the panel and the current travels through the wires and out of the panel. All of the panels are connected together, and their collective energy produced travels down wiring to an inverter. The inverter is the brains of the operation and is what converts the DC electricity made by the panels into AC electricity. From there, the AC power goes into the electrical system of your house or business and is used just like regular power from the utility. If your house has more power than it needs, the extra will be pumped onto the grid. In this case, it goes through a bidirectional meter that keeps track of power going both ways.

Have an electric car and wish you could charge it with solar? Well, you’re in luck because you can! There are a couple different ways that you can charge an electric car with solar. No, they don’t involve duct taping solar panels to the roof of your new Tesla either. Electric cars allow you to simply plug them into an outlet at your house to charge. If you take this approach and want to power your car with solar, you’d simply install a grid-tied solar system. With this strategy, your entire house can be powered by solar and you’re tied into the grid. You’re not necessarily going to be generating power straight from the sun and pumping it into your car. Instead, you’re just offsetting a certain percentage of your usage with solar. If you charge your car at night, that power is going to be coming straight off the utility grid. However, if you have a big enough system, it should’ve put power onto the grid for you during the day.

Solar is the best source of energy for several reasons. Obviously, we’re a solar company, so we’re a little biased. But when you think about all that solar has going for it, we think you’ll agree. Renewable. One of the biggest benefits of solar power is that it’s renewable. No one has to go out and drill for solar power. It never runs out, and it’s available anywhere. If the world can get away from utilizing finite sources of energy like fossil fuels, we’ll all be better off. No maintenance. When you invest in a solar energy system, you don’t have to worry about maintenance or moving parts. With wind energy, for example, you have a turbine that is turning non-stop. That requires some kind of lubrication and you’re counting on moving parts never wearing out. With solar, nothing is moving or wearing out. You just install the system and forget about it.

Solar power is considered to be a renewable and sustainable form of energy. Why exactly is it sustainable while many other forms of energy are not? Solar is sustainable because it is created by converting the sun’s rays into electricity. Sunlight isn’t going anywhere and the sun has risen every day since the beginning of time. You can’t exhaust the supply of sunlight and it never slows down. All over the Earth, there is way more sunlight than we need to produce enough electricity for everyone. By comparison, think about fossil fuels. We go through drastic measures to extract it from the ground and transport it around the globe. While fossil fuels have served a valuable purpose in helping to develop the world, sunlight is readily available everywhere. By simply setting up the right type of equipment, you can harness that sustainable energy source right at home. Fossil fuels take many years to produce and there is a finite supply of them.

Solar power saves you money by reducing the amount of electricity that you have to buy from someone else. Anytime that you can do something yourself cost-efficiently, it’s going to save you money compared to going out and buying it from someone else. The same principle applies with gardening. Many people grow a garden every year because it allows them to grow a large portion of the food that they eat. Instead of having to go to the grocery store to pay a premium for organic vegetables, you can grow them in your own back yard. Over the course of time, the amount of money that you can save by doing this is astounding. The same thing applies with solar power. When you buy a solar system, you’re purchasing your very own little power station. The power company invests millions or billions of dollars to build power plants that can produce power that they can turn around and sell for a profit.

Air conditioning is often the biggest electrical load that most homes have. During the summer, homeowner’s electric bills are usually higher than at any other time of the year. This is because of the big electrical demand that a regular air conditioning unit requires. So can solar power provide enough electricity to run your air conditioner? Solar power can provide whatever electrical load you have, provided you have a big enough solar system. Huge businesses that need 3-phase power utilize solar for their energy needs. To understand how this works, you have to stop thinking of solar running specific appliances or electrical loads in your home. If you were talking about an off-grid system, then this would make sense. However, the overwhelming majority of solar installations are grid-tied.

Solar power is a long way from becoming the dominant form of energy production in the world. Currently, less than 1% of the power generated on the grid comes from solar power. With that being said, thousands of people and businesses across the United States are going solar every year. At some point, solar may overtake other forms of energy as the most predominant source of energy. However, there is a long way to go before that happens. Why isn’t solar more widely used? It takes a long time to change the perception that it’s not a viable source of energy. Solar has been around for a long time and for the vast majority of its existence, it wasn’t affordable. This has lead to an ongoing perception that it’s too expensive and not realistic. The utility companies also generally don’t like people to go solar, because it reduces the amount of power that they can sell. Many of them have done everything in their power to try to squash solar from going mainstream.

The short answer is…yes! It’s viable right now! The idea that solar power isn’t viable for some reason is a very common misconception. If you’ve never really looked into solar power for your home in-depth, then you might believe that solar isn’t a realistic option for your home. In reality, it’s more realistic than it’s ever been and possibly ever will be. The cost of solar equipment has come down significantly over the last decade. That is probably the biggest factor in determining the viability of solar for your home. When it cost 10 times more than it does now, only very wealthy people could afford to go solar. Now that it’s come down, the average person can realistically afford solar. Another big factor in solar becoming viable is the fact that utility rates have risen every year. On average, it has gone up 5% per year nationally. As the utility rates increase, solar becomes more and more viable.

That depends on your perspective and several factors that are specific to your situation. Here are a few things that will determine whether investing in solar is right for you: What do you pay the utility? The rate that you pay the utility per kilowatt-hour is one of the biggest factors in considering whether an investment in solar is wise. If your utility rate is higher, the payback period for an investment in solar is shortened. Each utility in Missouri charges a different rate, so solar is more attractive to some customers than others. Your roof. Not every roof is perfect for solar. If you have South, East, or West facing roof space that isn’t shaded, then it could be ideal for solar. If you have trees that shade the whole roof and you’re unwilling to trim or remove the trees, then solar isn’t going to work. If your roof has many obstructions on it, this can also negatively impact the amount of panels that can fit.

Solar power is useful because it provides a renewable source of energy that is created by clean, abundant sunshine. When you stop and think about it, being able to create as much power as you need with something that is literally all around you, every day, is unbelievable. Another big benefit of solar power is that it helps you break free from the monopoly of the utility company. Although monopolies are technically illegal in the United States, somehow the “powers that be” missed the utility company. In Missouri, you’ve got a total of one choice when it comes time to get electricity. Why is that a bad thing for you? Because when there is no competition required, there is no incentive for the utility to earn your business. This means that they can charge whatever they want to, within reason.

Many people wonder, “if solar power is so great, why don’t more people use it?” The answer to that is complex, but it boils down to one primary factor. Up until recently, it wasn’t really cost effective for the average person to go solar. The cost of solar 20 years ago was many times more expensive than it is now. For example, a system that now costs $15,000-$25,000 might’ve cost someone $100,000-$150,000. Obviously, an average homeowner couldn’t afford to drop that much money on a solar system. Another big change that’s occurred in recent years is the increased availability of financing mechanisms to help regular people go solar. Instead of having to write a check for a system for thousands of dollars, you can use a solar financing plan, get the system installed, and just make a small monthly payment that’s often lower than your existing electric bill.

If you’re new to solar power, you may be wondering what all it takes to put together a working solar system for your home or business. While most people are somewhat familiar with solar panels and what they do, the solar power inverter is kind of a mystery. What exactly is a solar power inverter and why do you need one? Quite simply, the inverter is like the brains of the operation. It performs the vital task of converting the energy produced by the solar panels into a form of electricity that your house can use. Solar panels produce Direct Current or DC energy. Your house runs on Alternating Current or AC. The energy produced by the panels runs down into the inverter, is converted to AC and then on into your house, so that it can be used. The inverter also communicates with the electric grid and keeps the energy in sync. If the grid goes down, the inverter immediately shuts down as a safety feature.

Yes! One of the common misconceptions about solar power is that you run only certain items with the power that is produced. While this may be the case with off-grid systems, grid-tied systems, like the ones Simple Solar installs, do not provide power to specific devices. Instead, it simply a percentage of the electricity that your entire house uses. For example, you could offset 10%, 50% or even 100% of your monthly electrical usage. The solar system ties into your home’s electrical system and simply provides power as it is produced. The amount of your usage that can be offset by solar depends on the size and angle of your roof, as well as your budget. Many customers do offset their entire electric bills with solar.

Solar power can be stored in batteries. This is done in systems that are grid-tied with battery backups and in off-grid solar systems. With this approach, the panels convert the sun’s energy into DC power, which then travels into the batteries and is stored until the home uses the energy. This makes it possible to operate independently of the utility grid. While this technology sounds really cool, it’s not practical for the vast majority of customers. Of all of the solar systems installed worldwide every year, less than 1% of them utilize battery technology to store the solar energy. Batteries are currently too expensive and unreliable for most homes. The large electrical loads most homes have (like air conditioning, clothes dryers, water heating, etc) require too much immediate power to pull it all from batteries. Instead, they use a method in which the system is connected to the grid.

Solar power pricing has been on a steady decline for the last few years. By some estimates, prices have fallen over 99% compared to where they were 10 years ago. Manufacturers achieving economies of scale, the 26% solar tax credit, and improvements in technology have led to lower pricing. The significant pricing decreases have made solar power a viable option for the average homeowner in Missouri. While the decreases have been steady, most experts agree that the decreasing prices are on hold for now. Over the last year, pricing has remained steady and actually started increasing again. Industry forecasts see equipment pricing increasing in 2018 and possibly beyond. The two biggest factors that are driving pricing increases are huge demand and a trade dispute that could result in tariffs on imported solar panels.

The short answer is, yes. To understand why, though, takes a little bit more analysis. The thing about solar is that it’s a long-term investment. It’s like you’re pre-paying your electricity costs all upfront and then you’re reaping the benefits for years to come. With solar, you purchase a system that is capable of generating the electricity you use (or at least a percentage of what you use). That portion of your electric bill is then taken care of for at least the next 25 years and most likely 30 or 40 years. To illustrate how it works, imagine that someone came to you back in 1980 and asked if they could install a gas pump in your back yard. You could pump enough gas to cover all of your needs for $1.00 per gallon. However, you had to pay a one-time fee of $15,000. At the time, you might’ve hesitated because coming up with $15,000 all at once might’ve been a challenge. However, when you thought about the numbers, it would definitely be in your best interests to make the deal.
