We don’t sell Solar
We make Energy available to YOU
Solar systems are more than just panels on your roof and cutting your monthly bills. There are a variety of options available for all types of applications
Hybrid Solar Systems are one of the most common systems as they let normal grid power, solar energy, and batteries all work together easily, quickly and efficiently. This is an amazing option for homeowners as no matter what happens, you will always have available energy.
Grid-Tie systems are practically the same as that of a hybrid system. Meeting all the same functions of a hybrid system but do not use a battery bank as an energy storage option. On the average home, solar energy would be tied directly into your meter which would likely have to be changed from your power company to include solar energy as an input.
Did you know?
When your normal grid power goes out, most grid-tie systems don’t continue to power your home even at the sunniest part of the day. This is because it depends on the power grid having power as a signal. When the power goes out, your solar panels will not send power anywhere.
Off-grid Systems are available for any location as they are relatively simple, need no access to the power grid and are easier to install than you might think. Whether you just bought or built a camper, RV, boat, food truck, or small additions to your home such as a barn or shed. An off-grid system is the go to option for us. The only function for an off-grid system is to receive power from the solar panels and use it directly for your needs. Any additional power that is generated gets charged to your battery bank for future use.
Battery Only Systems are a good option for daily outings or even longer depending on the size of your system and your load. Mainly installed in vehicles, you can charge your system at home or linked with your vehicles charging system to provide normal AC current. Your only limiting factor is how many batteries you can store safely on your vehicle.
Battery bank installations are also available to you and we are willing to work with third parties so we can make additions your current battery bank or even upgrade your grid-tie only system into a hybrid system.
Solar System FAQs
-Is there a specific solar system for food trucks?
No, most units meant for normal home use or smaller portable units are able to be used. Although, there are better rated units for vehicles that can handle vibration better.
-Is a Solar System Strong Enough to run a food truck?
Absolutely! Virtually all solar equipment is modular and/or expandable. We will build the correct size system to provide all the power you need, and for as long as you need.
-What is the average price for a solar system on a vehicle?
There is no easy answer, but we typically see systems ranging from $900 to $25,000. The short answer is we have never quoted anyone above 30K. Ultimately it comes down to how much power you need and how long do you need it to last. The larger the system, the more expensive it may be.
-Which is better, Solar Power or a generator?
If you only need power in emergencies, then a generator might be the better option based on price. But, if you need reliable power on a daily basis, a Solar System takes the win. You can access power for as long as you need, and has proven to be more reliable and simple than a generator. Under constant use, a generator burns alot of fuel and constant maintenance can become quite costly.
-How long does it take to convert from a generator to a solar system?
Depending on the overall size of the system and how many solar panels we need to install, a conversion can take anywhere between 2-14 days. Conversions also take less time than a fresh install, as a generator system already has all the necessary connections and structure. You can also have both a generator and Solar power working together to guarantee power.
-Do I need Solar Panels?
No, the primary source of power that will run the load comes from the batteries. The solar panels primary job is to lengthen the life of the battery or even recharge the battery if there is little to no load.
