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.

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?

Residential solar energy is ever-increasing in popularity for homeowners, due to a number of factors. But do all of those reasons add up to one big advantage that makes the upfront cost worthwhile? To answer that question, we compiled the major benefits of solar energy to determine if your hard-earned money should be put toward a rooftop solar array.

The beauty of solar arrays from Clean Energy USA is the "hands off" nature of it all. Our solar designs are calibrated specifically to ensure that you and your family reap the benefits of solar without having to worry about any sort of daily maintenance or expenses related to costly—and frustrating—repair needs. 

If you still have questions about how to care for solar panels, we've got your answers. Check out some of the most frequently asked questions from customers concerned about solar panel upkeep—and why you really don't need to worry about it at all. 

Residential solar panels are a sizable investment for most homeowners. Although the return-on-investment makes it a worthwhile financial endeavor, the thought of “going solar” likely produces a few questions. One of your main questions would probably be, “how many solar panels do I need to power my property?”

As a homeowner, you probably have a lot of questions about solar energy. One of the top questions we receive from anyone considering solar panels is, “How long does the installation process take?” and “When are the solar panels switched on?” Understandably, customers want to know how long it will take after signing a contract to finish the solar project so that the energy savings can begin rolling in. 

Utility prices are constantly on the rise for businesses of all sizes, which makes running any company increasingly expensive by the day. But there’s some good news shining through: Solar power has never been more affordable. 

There are many incentives that help make the addition of solar to your home or business financially sound. One of those incentives are Solar Renewable Energy Credits (SREC) and in order to reap the benefits, you’ll need to act fast!
