How Solar Power Works
A standard system from Neighborhood Electric includes:
Our charging stations are located in the most convenient locations for EV drivers. Whether you're running errands or going on a road trip, you'll never be too far from a Neighborhood Electric Inc station.
Solar Panels – Mounted on your roof to absorb sunlight and create electricity.
Inverter – Converts the sun’s energy into usable power for your home.
Smart Monitoring – See your system’s energy production in real time from your phone or tablet.
During the day, your home uses solar first. Any extra power can be stored or sent to the grid for credits (depending on your utility’s policies).
What Happens at Night?
At night, your solar panels pause but your home doesn’t. You’ll pull power from the grid or from stored solar energy in your battery system. This seamless transition keeps your lights on and bills low.
What if I Produce More Power Than I Use?
If your system generates more electricity than your home needs, the excess energy flows back to the grid. Depending on your utility provider, you may receive credits or reduced charges on your next bill.
What Does It Cost?
Solar pricing depends on:
- System size
- Roof layout and orientation
- Energy needs
- Optional upgrades like home batteries
