Solar Electric
Rising energy prices and growing environmental concerns have motivated many of us to reconsider our energy use. In the places that you live and work, solar electric systems are a reliable and affordable way to reduce your utility bill and greenhouse gas emissions. A system can last over 25 years and pay for itself in utility bill savings. An energy audit and solar assessment can help you determine if a solar electric system is right for you.

Background Facts
  • A solar electric system could provide your annual electricity needs.
  • Electricity is measured in watts (W) and kilowatts (kW); electricity use over time is measured in watt-hours (Wh) and kilowatt-hours (kWh).
  • Solar modules generate watts in direct current (DC) which an inverter converts to alternating current (AC).
  • A solar system’s total AC kWh production supplements a property’s consumption of kWh from its utility company.


 

Energy Tips

Recalibrate your electronic thermostats.  Make sure that the time settings accurately reflect when you need heating and cooling.  It is recommended that you set the temperature settings to 76°F for cooling and 68°F for heating.  For even greater energy savings, set the cooling temperature higher and the heating temperature lower, depending on the needs of your employees and business.
