Grid-tied solar arrays are the most common type of installations by Sun Pacific Solar, whether commercial or residential. Depending on your goals for moving towards energy independence, a grid-tied solar electrical system allows you to either drastically reduce or entirely eliminate your monthly energy bill by offsetting your usage with solar production. Grid-tied systems are the most cost effective way to produce and consume solar electricity.
Grid-tied installations also have the following benefits:
- Sell your excess electricity back to Southern California Edison/PG&E.
- Increase the value of your home by an average of 3-3.5%.
- Save thousands of dollars on your electricity bill over the array’s lifetime.
- Low maintenance systems keep you worry free.
- Durability combined with aesthetic design compliment your home or office.
We install solar panels on all types of roofs, but frequently also install ground-mounted systems or panels that are incorporated into new structures as part of an architectural solar solution. We can install any type of solar panels, but prefer Maxeon, REC, Q.Cells or Lumos panels. Because designing high quality systems with longevity and sustainability is a top priority, we’re very particular about the products we adopt.
From the bolts and steel, to the inverters, solar panels and battery backup systems, every component of our solar systems is the highest quality available. We design our grid-tied systems to accommodate the addition of more panels in the future (should you wish to add an Electric Vehicle charger or other increases in energy usage), and our installations are always designed to be aesthetic, long lasting and come with both manufacturer and in house warranties.
Our team is built on years of electrical experience. All of the electrical work required to install your system is done in house by our licensed and trained electricians. This way, we have full understanding and complete quality control over the solar electric systems we design and install. Our workmanship is of the highest quality and fully backed by our installation warranty. We care about helping people enter into a confident state of energy independence, and you can count on us to create a beautiful custom grid-tied solar system that will last.
“The installers are professional, and their work is one of a craftsman. When I compare the appearance of our system with one from a competitor on our neighbor’s house, ours is a much cleaner install, with fewer panels to generate more power!” – P. Wilson
You can also choose to add an energy storage system (also called battery backup) to your array to provide you with energy independence and resilience in case of power outages. When the utility grid goes down, grid-tied solar systems must shut down by law, however battery backup mitigates this. Adding a battery backup does add to the overall cost of a system, but not only will it provide you with power during any grid outages, it will also allow you to further reduce your electric bill by taking advantage of energy arbitrage programming.
Sun Pacific Solar installs grid-tied solar arrays for both residential and light commercial use. And with the variety of solar panels available to you, you can be sure to find a type that compliments your home or business. You no longer have to choose between aesthetics and efficiency!
