How It Works
The process of converting sunlight into usable electric power for your business is a complicated job, but the electric system that gets it done is actually simple. Solar energy systems demand very little maintenance and have few moving parts. A Standard Solar photovoltaic power system has few parts at all, in fact.

Your business thrives on accurate information.
Standard Solar gives you real-time data about the effectiveness of your solar electric system.
Standard Solar installations consist of solar (photovoltaic) panels mounted to the roof of your building, electrical wiring, and an inverter. During daylight hours, they generate electricity and send it to your inverter—which converts the electricity produced by the panels (Direct Current, or DC) into power you can use (Alternating Current, or AC).
Once your Standard Solar system is installed, your power utility will continue to monitor how much electricity you use. If the solar system produces more power than you organization consumes, your system pushes the extra power back to your utility—and you'll get a credit on your bill for the power you generated but didn't use.
There are times during the year that your business will use more power than your solar electric system generates. In that case, you'll pull energy from your utility as normal—and you'll be billed based on your actual electricity consumption, automatically factoring in your solar production.
