Learn How Solar Electricity Works

Here's how our systems work:

1. Energy from the Sun is FREE, renewable and practically instantaneous. Your Green Power Dealer will put Solar System modules on or near your home. These modules collect clean, safe energy from the sun. The conversion from sunlight into electricity occurs quickly and simply – with no moving parts to wear out.
2. A Green Power inverter box converts the solar electricity (DC current) into AC current, the correct form of electricity that your home uses.
3. Your Green Power solar power system sends any excess power to your local utility for credit, and your home meter actually runs backward when your system is generating more power than your home is using. All your Green Power electricity generation is reflected in your utility bill reduction. You save money on every watt produced, even to the point where your power bill is ZERO.

An optional Green Power Solar Monitor system will display up-to-date electrical production and usage, so you can see how much of your home's electricity demand is being met by your solar system. Turn off appliances and lights and watch your household usage decrease!

Your home does not recognize where the electricity came from and will continue to perform normally. The only difference you will notice is lower electricity bills.

Green Power Systems are Built to Last

Our Green Power Solar Systems feature the highest-quality modules available in America. In addition to harvesting the correct amount of Solar Energy you invest in, these modules (also known as panels) are individually tested, certified to UL standards and built to withstand extremely high winds and any weather condition, including large hail storms. Maintenance programs are available from your Green Power Dealer, although regular cleaning is the majority of the need. Our panels come with a 25-year warranty and can produce at optimum levels for many years.
