How it Works
The process of converting sunlight into usable electric power for your agency is a complicated job, but the electric system that gets it done is actually simple. Although it will become one of your facility's major systems, solar energy demands very little maintenance and has few moving parts. A Standard Solar solar power system has few parts at all, in fact.
Roof Mounted Diagram
Standard Solar systems consist of solar (photovoltaic) panels mounted to the roof of your building, electrical wiring, and an inverter. Solar panels are mounted on the roof and wired together. 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 the type of power your facilities use (Alternating Current, or AC) where it then flows into your building to be used by your employees.
Your business thrives on accurate information.
Standard Solar gives you real-time data about the effectiveness of your solar electric system.
Once your Standard Solar system is installed, the power utility will continue to monitor how much electricity you use. If the solar system produces more power than your organization consumes, your system pushes the extra power back to your utility—creating a credit for the unused power.
There are times during the day or year—or even during periods of especially increased productivity—your agency may become more power-hungry than normal. In that case, your agency will receive power from your utility as normal—and will be billed based on actual electricity consumption, automatically factoring in your solar production.
