Solar Electricity (PV) - Turn on the power of the SUN!

Photovoltaic (PV) systems are a clean way to generate electricity. Smart Energy Solutions has fully trained and experienced staff that design, install, and service solar photovoltaic systems from leading manufacturers for homes and businesses.

What is PV?

A Photovoltaic (PV) System converts sunlight directly into electricity. Because PV Systems burn no fuel and have no moving parts, they are silent and clean. The process has no bi-products and generates no pollution. In fact:

A standard household solar electric system will offset the production of:
• 4,918 lbs of Co2
• 6.9 lbs of NOx
• 27.2 lbs of So4
This is equivalent to planting 1 acre of trees per year!

As we are now beginning to realize the fragile state of our planet's ecosystem and our finite amount of fossil fuels, clean power alternatives like solar electricity are becoming extremely important. As material technologies progress and demands for such alternative energy sources increase, photovoltaic systems have become more affordable and more efficient. PV systems can now be installed that are affordable and effective.

Cost and Savings

In the past, PV systems have been installed primarily for environmental reasons. Now, however, with the introduction of financial incentives and the rapidly increasing efficiency of the technology, PV systems have become more affordable.

The cost of the system will depend on it's size and location. We offer full service and warrantied work at competitive prices. Call us to schedule a solar audit.
