Whether you’re new to the world of solar energy or have had solar panels for many years, battery storage can be an integral part of electrical power—especially when you remain connected to the power grid. 

What if we told you there’s a policy that will net you a credit on your electric bill for any excess electricity you return to the grid?

It’s a story commercial business owners know far too well: You have a great month financially, with revenue rolling in at a pleasing clip. Then, you get hit with your monthly bills and suddenly your profits are no longer all that impressive.

With utility prices ever on the uptick, many businesses are constantly looking for alternative sources of energy—anything that can prove to be cost effective in these times when budgets are tight and every dollar counts. 

Clean Energy USA continues its dedication to excellence in serving both new and legacy solar customers, year after year. And a recent pair of awards underscores our commitment to providing the best solar energy service in Delaware.

Whether it's to cut utility costs, reduce their carbon footprints, or simply make a sound investment decision, commercial entities are increasingly turning to solar energy to power their operations.

If you’re already a solar customer or considering installing panels on your commercial property, there’s good reason to feel hopeful about your investment (or potential investment). 

The field of solar energy has seen rapid advancements in technology, making it more efficient and more affordable than ever before. As such, the number of residential and commercial property owners installing solar panels has increased dramatically over the past few decades. Of the several types of solar systems installed across the country, on-grid solar systems are the most widely implemented.

During the summertime, solar can power your entire facility. But what will happen when the days get shorter and temperatures drop? Do solar panels still function in the winter?

The answer is yes, solar panels function during the winter. Converting sunlight to electricity actually works better in colder temperatures, meaning solar panels often improve in efficiency during the winter months. Most residential homes will see some reduction in total power generation due to fewer daylight hours or excess cloud cover, but increased efficiency helps minimize this.

There are plenty of obstructions to sunlight—take a look out your window right now, and you can probably see a handful. Trees, clouds, buildings, weather conditions, and more, each obstruction can get between your solar panels and the sun. But do these obstructions have any impact on the power you get from a solar array?
