How Solar Power Works

At Custom Solar Solutions, we specialize in designing and installing custom solar systems that harness the power of the sun to provide clean, renewable energy for your home or business. Here’s how our solar systems work to save you money and reduce your carbon footprint.

Solar Panel Installation Options

Solar panels are installed in various configurations to suit your property and energy needs:

Rooftop Solar Panels

Installed directly on your roof to capture sunlight and generate electricity.

Solar Canopies for Parking Areas:

Solar panels installed on canopies over parking spaces, providing shade and renewable energy at the same time.

Design Focused:

Ideal for properties with ample outdoor space, these systems are placed on the ground for maximum sun exposure.

How Solar Panels Generate Power

Our solar systems use photovoltaic (PV) cells to capture sunlight and convert it into usable electricity:

Photons from Sunlight: Solar panels collect photons from the sun’s rays.

Electricity Generation: The PV cells transform these photons into an electrical current that powers your home, including appliances, HVAC systems, electronic devices, and electric vehicles.

Excess Energy: Any extra power your system generates can be stored or returned to the grid.

Solar Panels with Battery Storage

When paired with a solar battery, your system stores excess energy produced during the day for use at night:

Daytime Energy Storage: Solar batteries store surplus electricity when the sun is shining.

Nighttime Power: At night, the stored energy powers your home, so you continue to benefit from solar energy even when the sun isn’t out.

Energy Independence: With battery storage, you rely less on the grid and enjoy 24/7 access to clean energy.

Grid-Tied Solar Systems

If your system doesn’t include battery storage, it will still supply your home with clean energy during the day:

Daytime Solar Power: Your system generates electricity while the sun is up, powering your home’s electrical systems.

Grid Electricity at Night: At night, the system pulls electricity from the grid to power your home when the panels aren’t actively generating energy.

Maximize Energy Efficiency with Custom Solar Solutions

Whether you opt for solar panels with or without battery storage, Custom Solar Solutions ensures your system is tailored to meet your energy needs. We design each solar system to maximize efficiency and savings, allowing you to reduce energy costs and contribute to a more sustainable future.
