Solar PV

What is Solar PV?

Simply put when sunlight hits a solar panel, the cells that make up the module transform light into direct current (DC) electricity. This is known as the photovoltaic effect. This DC power is then converted into alternating current (AC) using additional wiring, an inverter or series of microinverters. The solar energy produced by the PV array powers your home or business and offsets your utility electrical usage. When the sun isn’t providing any sunlight for your panels (like at night), your utility provides you with the electricity for your loads. During the day, if your system is creating more power than your home needs, the extra energy goes into your utility’s power grid. The excess is credited to your account to use at a later time. This push and pull of electricity using the utility as a bank is called net metering. These grid-tied pv arrays are the most common solar installs and provide the greatest return.

What We Offer

Electricity Rates

How high is your current electric bill? This determines your savings over the life of your system. The higher your rates, the more you can save with solar.

Financial Incentives

There are significant state and federal tax programs or rebates in your area that encourage solar adoption. A business can also take advantage of depreciation tax benefits, including accelerated depreciation. Higher incentives mean lower upfront costs and a shorter payback period.

Cost

One of the largest hurdles is the upfront cost. To get over that barrier there are great financial tools that customers can take advantage of. Many states sponsor low interest loans that are fast, easy and safe. Why continue paying your electric bill? Your new solar energy payment will be less, and green.

Technology

Quality equipment and properly designed solar arrays will produce for decades. High quality panels, inverters and the balance of the array components are warrantied for 25 years. Ensuring your investment pays for itself quickly and continues generating significant saving year after year.

Site Characteristics

How sunny is it where you are? Which way does your roof face? What is the pitch of your roof? Is there shading? All of these factors can affect your production levels and ROI.

Property Value Increases

Solar panel system ownership tends to increase your property resale value, while third party ownership (e.g. leasing) does not. That value is only as good as the equipment, aesthetics of the install and function.

Business Benefits

Eliminate a variable expense in electricity. Create goodwill by going green and using solar power. Appeal to customers through the difference your company has decided to make.

Go Solar with NES+G

New England Solar + Green will help you weigh your options given your budget and energy production goals. The end goal being to eliminate your electric bill! An average monthly electric bill of $100 becomes an annual $1,200 expense. Over 20 years, that same $100 monthly bill balloons to $24,000 paid to your utility, and that’s before factoring in electricity rate increases that will likely make your 20-year energy costs even higher. Installing a solar panel system at your home or business takes you out of this cycle. Solar immediately saves and creates the long-term stability a good investment should. The average payback is between 3 and 7 years, with over 50% of the total system cost saved after the first year of operation.
When you own the solar array, the savings goes directly to your wallet. Whether you pay cash or get a loan the incentives and credits available make it one of the most fiscally responsible investments and feel good decisions you can make. Not only does this type of renewable energy source benefit you financially but it eliminates the negative environmental impacts of carbon fuel sources. The average annual CO2 emissions are approximately 14,796 pounds per household, based on a typical usage of 900 kWh per month. Changing your method of energy production to a solar will help prevent damage to the earth and reduce your buildings contribution to climate change.
