Solar Panel Roof Installations
Solar panel roofs also known as photovoltaic (PV) contribute to the environment by generating sustainable electricity production.
Solar roofs offer many benefits to your project
- Cost savings through solar power purchase agreements, tax credits and income from sale of surplus electricity, if available locally
- Environmental win by obtaining electricity from a renewable resource without pollution
- Reliable source of energy in the case of electrical outage when the PV system has battery-powered storage
- Stable, relatively fixed costs as PV systems are less vulnerable to electricity rate hikes
