Residential Solar Panel Installation
We are the leading experts in residential solar panel installation throughout Southern and Western Maryland. With our extensive local knowledge and proven experience, we deliver custom solar solutions that maximize your energy savings while also significantly reducing your environmental impact.
How Does Solar Work?
Through photovoltaic conversion, solar panels harness sunlight and transform it into electricity that’s usable for your home.
As sunlight hits the panels, it’s transformed into direct current (DC) electricity that an inverter then changes into usable alternating current (AC) to power your home. The main components, such as solar panels, inverters, and mounting systems, work together to maintain efficient energy conversion.
The efficiency of your home’s solar panels depends on aspects such as the quality of the materials they’re made from, the angle of installation, and your particular local climate conditions.
Custom Solar System Designs for Optimized Value
To maximize these benefits, your solar system should be custom-designed to best align with your current energy usage patterns. A well-designed system ensures that you capture the maximum amount of sunlight, optimizing both efficiency and return on investment. By tailoring the system to your specific needs, you can achieve the highest possible energy savings and long-term financial value.
Regulations on Solar Backup Power in Maryland
While Maryland doesn’t have specific regulations concerning solar backup power, there are significant state incentives targeting solar batteries in your solar system. These incentives can cover more than half of the battery backup system’s cost, making it a cost-effective alternative to traditional generators. Additionally, solar backup systems provide peace of mind during power outages, ensuring continuous energy supply.
Localized Generation for Greater Grid Efficiency
Generating power locally through your solar panels lessens the strain on the grid, helping to build a more resilient and efficient energy system for your community. Local generation also reduces transmission losses, further improving the overall efficiency of your energy system. This approach not only benefits individual users but also contributes to the stability and reliability of the broader electrical grid.
Solar Maintenance and Monitoring Services
To ensure your solar system operates at peak efficiency, regular maintenance and monitoring are essential. Energy Select offers comprehensive maintenance packages that include system inspections, performance monitoring, and quick response services. By keeping your system in top condition, you can maximize your energy production and protect your investment over the long term.
Solar Panel Reinstallation
Once your roof work or renovations are complete, we carefully reinstall your solar panels and conduct a final inspection to ensure everything functions properly. It’s important to consider the timing of your project, any associated costs, and maintaining your warranty coverage during the reinstallation process to avoid any issues.
Solar Panel Removal
Homeowners may need to remove their solar panels for reasons such as roof repairs, home renovations, or replacing outdated equipment. This process requires careful planning to protect your investment. Our first step is a thorough assessment to ensure that the removal process is handled with precision and care.
Financial Benefits of Residential Solar Panel Installation
When you choose Energy Select, you’re investing in a complete energy solution that optimizes both conservation and renewable energy production. Our approach ensures the best financial outcome for your home.
Solar incentives substantially reduce the cost of installation while boosting your return on investment. The 30% federal tax credit, extended through 2032, can help lower upfront expenses. Additionally, Solar Renewable Energy Credits (SRECs) offer a recurring income by providing payments for the energy your system produces.
For example, a typical 10 kW system costs about $30,000. After applying the federal tax credit and state grant, the net cost drops to $20,000. In the first year, you could see savings of over $2,800, reducing your investment to approximately $17,451. This system can pay for itself in under 8 years, and after that, you’ll enjoy ongoing savings and income.
By investing in solar with Energy Select, you have the ability to gain long-term financial benefits, reduced energy costs, and added home value—all while supporting a sustainable future.
Why Consider a Solar Battery?
A solar battery gives you more control over your energy by storing excess power for use during outages or at night, increasing your home’s resilience and reducing reliance on the grid.
Types of Solar Batteries
Solar batteries include lithium-ion and lead-acid. Lithium-ion lasts longer and is more efficient, while lead-acid is a budget-friendly option.
Installation and Maintenance
Solar batteries install easily with your existing system and require minimal maintenance, typically just occasional performance checks.
