Solar panels capture sunlight and convert it into electricity through photovoltaic (PV) cells. These cells absorb sunlight and create an electric field, generating direct current (DC) electricity. An inverter then converts this DC into alternating current (AC), which can power homes, businesses, or even feed excess energy back into the grid.
By harnessing the sun’s renewable energy, solar panels provide a clean, sustainable alternative to fossil fuels, contributing to a greener planet while reducing your reliance on traditional energy sources.

Yes, it’s absolutely possible to power your entire home with green energy! Whether through solar panels, small-scale wind turbines, or other renewable technologies, you can completely offset your household’s energy usage with clean, sustainable energy. Solar energy, in particular, allows you to produce electricity throughout the day. Any excess energy your system generates can be fed back into the grid in exchange for credits, which will cover your energy needs on less productive days, like during cloudy weather or at night.
Many homeowners stay connected to the grid for additional backup, ensuring consistent access to power while reducing their dependence on traditional energy sources. Ready to embrace green energy? Contact RENEWABLE EARTH today to see how we can help you power your home with renewable energy solutions!
Net metering allows homeowners and businesses with solar panels to send any excess electricity they generate back to the grid. In return, they receive credits to offset their electricity costs when they draw power from the grid, like at night or on cloudy days. This system helps maximize savings and ensures you always have access to energy, even when your solar panels aren’t producing as much.

In most cases, you won’t need to replace your roof before going solar. The majority of homeowners we work with find that their roof is in good condition for solar installation. However, if your roof is older or nearing the end of its lifespan (typically 15+ years for some materials), it might be worth considering repairs or replacement beforehand to ensure your solar panels are securely installed and perform well for years to come.
Not sure if your roof is ready? RENEWABLE EARTH offers a professional inspection to assess its condition and help you decide the best path forward for a smooth transition to solar. Contact us today!
Yes, you can go solar even if you have trees on your property—but it depends on the amount of sunlight your roof receives and where the trees cast their shade. Trees that block significant sunlight may reduce the efficiency of your solar panels, so it’s important to evaluate the level of exposure. Not every home is ideal for solar, but many solutions exist to work around shading issues, such as strategic panel placement or selective trimming.

On cloudy, overcast days or at night, your green energy system won’t generate as much electricity. During these times, your home will seamlessly draw power from the public energy grid. This is where “net metering” comes into play, allowing your household to bank “energy credits” for the excess green energy you generate on sunny days. These credits help offset your energy usage on less productive solar days, ensuring your home stays powered while you continue to reduce your reliance on traditional energy sources.

Yes, even with a green energy system like solar, wind, or geothermal, you may still receive an electricity bill. While your green energy system can significantly reduce or even eliminate your monthly electricity costs depending on how much energy it generates, you will still need to pay your utility’s grid connection fees and possibly a small customer benefit charge.
If your system produces enough energy to cover your household’s usage, your bill could be drastically reduced. However, during periods when your system doesn’t generate enough power—such as on cloudy days, at night, or during high usage—you may need to draw electricity from the grid. With net metering, excess energy generated during productive times is credited to your account, helping to offset costs when you need to use grid power.
Even after your system is paid off, you’ll still be responsible for the small grid connection fee, and in rare cases, any excess energy used beyond your system’s capabilities.
