No Lifestyle Changes

A Solar Energy Advantage

Many people think to be environmentally responsible, you must be uncomfortable. You must keep the lights off, not use your heat or AC too much, carpool with strangers and just generally change the way you live. What's great about using solar energy is that it doesn't require ANY lifestyle changes.

What Happens at Night?

Many people considering solar wonder what happens at night time when you use solar power. Will you not be able to watch TV since the sun went down? Will you not be able to turn on lights or make that bag of popcorn? Do solar panels work at night?

Yes, Solar Panels Work at Night

Solar panels do produce some energy at night, although your energy production is greatly reduced when the sun goes down. However, if your home or business is connected to the power grid, you can use solar energy that has built up in your system if you haven't used much electricity during the day. Or, you can always just use energy from the power grid at night if you have used all of your solar energy during the day. This will allow you to "go solar" but still be able to be comfortable at night time by using energy from your local electric company when solar production is low.

A Comfortable Way to Improve the Environment

With solar energy, you can still take your hot showers, keep your thermostat set to a comfortable temperature, and turn your lights on when necessary. However, by using a solar energy system you're actually helping to preserve and improve the environment while you go about your normal routines. If you're interested in other ways to improve the environment, you may want to consider getting a free energy audit.
