Kids and parents alike love playing with these solar powered cars. It's a great way to see first-hand how powerful the sun's energy is. The cars are really just a smaller scale of the modules everyone is using on their homes to produce electricity.
While these little cars have just one silicon cell producing direct electrical current, the high efficiency modules we install have hundreds. The direct current then flows into an inverter which converts the DC to AC to be used by your home. The AC flows directly into your main electrical panel, and you can actually watch your meter run backwards!
SDG&E is installing their new "Smart Meters" in order to switch consumers to Time of Use billing. This means that the electricity you're using when you get home from work will be much more expensive than if you were to use it mid-day. With a solar system you'll be producing energy during those peak hours and thus you will avoid paying top dollar for energy. We've gotten many calls from disgruntled SDG&E customers saying they want to look into solar as soon as possible because as soon as their Smart Meter was installed their bills skyrocketed! If this has happened to you, don't hesitate to give us a call. We will come out for free, look at your consumption patterns, look at your existing electrical and roof and inform you on whether or not you could benefit from going solar.
