Clean Energy Pays in North Texas - Learn Its Benefits

Light energy harvested from the Sun – also referred to as solar energy – provides a clean, low-cost form of electricity for residents in sun-rich areas of the country, like North Texas. Solar panels convert sunlight into direct current (DC) electricity that is then routed to a device called an inverter. The inverter converts DC electricity into alternating current (AC) electricity.

Solar panels convert sunlight into direct current (DC) electricity that is then routed to a device called an inverter. The inverter converts DC electricity into alternating current (AC) electricity. This form of electricity generation is the fastest growing “green energy” solution in the country.

AC electricity then travels to the electrical panel/circuit-breaker box where it’s distributed throughout your home. When the solar power from the system produces more electricity than is being consumed, surplus electricity flows through the electric meter and out to the utility grid.

With the right rate plan from your electric utility provider, this surplus electricity creates an electricity credit that can be used when the system’s solar panels are not producing electricity – such as at night. More consumers are finding ways to produce energy without the negative effects of pollution and costly utility bills. Solar is an ideal source for keeping the earth green while keeping more “green” in your pocket.

The cost to install solar panels has fallen dramatically over the years, and there has never been a better time to go solar. And with installation possible in just weeks - let DFW Solar Electric design a solar energy solution that is right for you.
