What are all the benefits of having a PV system installed?
• a) Lower or eliminate your energy bill from your utility company by utilizing “free” energy from the sun, instead. Not everyone can afford to install a full PV array system that will completely offset their home or business’ utility costs. However, even a small system translates in to savings on your bill. This savings keeps on going and more than pays for your installed system in a few years. • b) Arrays installed on your roof act as a shade for your roof because most of the sun’s energy is reflected away from your home/building. This reduces the amount of radiant heat that is absorbed and translates to your air conditioning system working less in order to maintain interior comfort. So if you have a grid-tied PV system, you will use less from your utility company, as a result. • c) Furthermore, you can install arrays in such a way to create new shade in areas where you don’t currently have them. For example, create shade for parking your car(s), or use them to shade your patio, deck
