Grid-Tie Solar Power Systems
"Grid-tied" residential solar power systems connect directly into your electric company's power grid. During the day, your solar power system is generating electricity that is directed onto the main grid, sort of like a small power station.
Then at night, you simply draw whatever power you need right back off the grid. The electricity you generated (or saved) during the day for others to use will be paid back to you in the evenings when lighting and other electrical loads are needed.
If your system is of sufficient size and produces more power during the day than you use in the evenings, you may actually end up with a surplus of electricity. In this case, many electric companies offer a program which is commonly known as "net metering" wherein, if your system produces more than you use, you will be paid a pre-determined amount of money for each kilowatt hour your system produces. Yes! You could actually get a check from your power company instead of sending them one!
Off-Grid Solar Power Systems
Have a cabin or residential home in a remote location where electrical power is unavailable? Our off-grid solar power systems that can provide power for your remote structure. These sytems utilize solar panels, a charger controller, battery, and wiring cables. Additionally included for multi-panel system kits the necessary solar panel mounting hardware, array combiners, and array-to-combiner wiring cables. AC upgrades are also available by adding a DC-to-AC electric power inverter.
The solar power systems provide electricity to stand alone remote cabins as well as remote telemetry and sensing equipment. Systems include solar panels, inverter, battery, and cables.
Industrial Solar Power Products
We specialize in solar power systems for oil and natural gas pipeline monitoring and automation systems, telecommunications industry, solar-powered traffic signals, water pumping, off-grid residential electricity, remote instrumentation, Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA), and Remote Telemetry Units (RTUs), solar sign and monument lighting, and remote gates. We also carry high-end residential solar power systems and components including solar panels, charge controllers, inverters, batteries, and accessories.
To make finding the best system for your needs faster and easier, we provide an online sizing program to determine the amount of solar power you'll need for your particular application.

About Solar Panels
What is "solar energy"?
Solar energy, which is also often called "solar power", is energy which comes from the Sun in two forms of radiation: heat and light. These two forms of radiation are generated from the fusion of helium and hydrogen inside the Sun. Humans on Earth can capture this radiation and use it to create hot water and steam in the case of heat and we can use it to create electricity.
Each of these two forms of solar energy requires the manufacture of two seperate types of solar panels. One is called a "solar collector" which is used to heat water and then store it in a tank for distribution when needed. The other kind of panel is called a "solar panel", or more formally, a "photovoltaic panel". Solar panels collect the light radiation from the Sun and convert it into direct current electricty, which can then be converted to alternating current using an inverter.
What is a solar panel?
A solar panel (also known as a photovoltaic panel or photovoltaic module) is a device that converts photons of light from the Sun and converts them into an electric current.
How do solar panels work?
Solar panels convert photons of light into electrical current by a process known as the "photovoltaic effect". This essentially means that sunlight is causing electrons in a solar panel to become excited. These electrons are then directed into an electric current by a built-in electromagnetic field. This direct current electricity can be used to power many electric loads. It can also be "inverted" to alternating current electricity which can be used to power items in a home or business.
