Net Metering Battle

Solar Friends, The future of the solar industry in Washington is in jeopardy and the Washington Solar Energy Industry Association (WASEIA) is working hard to keep this vital source of carbon-free, renewable electricity viable and sustainable in our state. Sunergy Systems is a founding member of WASEIA and our Company President is a serving Board Member. We need your help! As many of you know, net metering is a key policy that makes solar financially viable. When a solar energy system produces more power than a home needs, the excess electricity spins the meter backwards, giving the homeowner a dollar-for-dollar [...]

What is Net Energy Metering?

Going solar offers homeowners many great benefits. One of the best—for those who can take advantage of it—is net metering (also called net energy metering). With net metering, homeowners get credited for the extra energy their solar system produces that is sent back to the electric grid.  Usually, you are credited monthly until the credits are trued up annually. Net metering means that homeowners can use their solar system to offset their home electricity consumption over the course of the year—high-producing months help to offset lower-producing times when more power must be drawn from the utility grid. In most cases, [...]

The Truth Behind Free Solar Ads: Uncovering Misleading Claims

Solar energy is a remarkable solution for individuals looking to save on electricity bills while contributing to a cleaner environment. However, like any rapidly growing industry, the solar sector is not immune to misleading advertising. Some of the common misleading claims you might have come across are ads offering “Free Solar Panels” with the implication that the government will cover the cost of your solar system. Here's a breakdown of the reality behind these claims and why they might not be as they appear: 1. The “Free” Misnomer: Many ads claim to offer free solar panels, but the reality is [...]

Will Solar Be Cheaper in Late 2023? Maybe, But Don’t Wait.

An analysis by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) suggests home solar costs 2–12% more in early 2022 than in 2021. Extreme market conditions pushed up the price of modules, inverters, labor, and permits. The good news? Solar costs are very likely to decrease in 2023, making rooftop renewables affordable for more homeowners. In November 2022, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) published its analysis of the cost of solar and energy storage (battery) system installations for the first quarter of 2022. The data shows higher solar prices compared to expectations. In fact, analysts noted that “extreme market conditions in 2021 and the [...]

What’s the Best Direction for Solar Panels to Face?

In the past, there was only one answer to the question, “What’s the best direction for solar panels to be pointed?” In the Northern Hemisphere, that direction was south. Because the sun shines directly over the equator most of the time, south-facing solar panels have an opportunity to collect more sunlight and generate more solar energy. Every house has a different orientation to the sun, so every solar installation presents its own opportunities and challenges. The trick is to install the solar panels in a way that not only collects the most sunlight but also collects it in a way [...]

Why Going Electric Pays Off in Ways Big and Small

The concept of electrification is nothing new. The movement has grown from its humble beginnings in 1752 with a kite and key, through the monumental Rural Electrification Act in 1936, to what we now know in modern times. But as the electric grid has evolved, so have the thoughts of industry leaders on its environmental impact. Beneficial electrification refers to replacing systems that still use gas and oil with carbon-free alternatives. This includes replacing traditional HVAC systems with heat pumps, using solar + storage solutions to power your home, and opting to drive an electric vehicle. While these green technologies are [...]

Fossil To Sun In Seattle

For this month's featured project, we want to introduce you to Sandy! Sandy is a Sunergy System customer. He spent 34 years as a Boeing engineer/manager and has written six novels in the years since (www.sandyspen.com). He and his wife live in a house they designed and built 46 years ago. Read about their journey from Fossil To Sun In Seattle on our blog! Prior to 2017, my thought of solar power on the Pacific coast boiled down to “Forget it; too many cloudy days and there would be no significant payback through the winter months.” An article introducing [...]

Installing Commercial Solar: What to Expect From Your Utility—and How Your Solar Company Can Help

If your organization decides to start using solar power, you’ll soon find yourself involved in two important business partnerships. The first will be with the solar company that designs and installs the photovoltaic (PV) solar system. And the second partnership will be with the local utility. Once your solar panels are connected to the grid, you’ll find a much more profitable relationship with the local utility company than you’ve ever had before. Project Management Your solar company knows the ins and outs of a solar system and they’ll know what the utilities are looking for during the installation process. Following the contract's signing, two [...]

The Pros and Cons of Solar Energy

There is a push to GO SOLAR. It seems like a great solution to keeping costs down and regaining control over energy bills. But are there Pros and Cons? Yes, let’s walk through them together. PROS Solar is a proven technology. Experimentation in solar energy began in the late 1800s. The first PV silicon cell able to use the sun’s energy to run electrical equipment was introduced in 1954—67 years ago! By the early 1980’s, worldwide PV production exceeded 21 megawatts. In the United States, there are currently over 47.1 gigawatts of total solar capacity installed and growing. So, it [...]
