How does solar power work?

Solar power may seem like a daunting concept to understand, but it doesn't have to be. If you're considering buying or leasing residential solar panels, understanding how they work may ease the transition or better justify the cost.

Inside the panels are solar cells, also known as photovoltaic cells. These devices capture some of the energy given off by sunlight and pass that energy on to a device or storage medium in the form of electricity. This energy is then used to power your home.

When solar power first emerged, it was expensive and out of reach for many homeowners. But with panels becoming cheaper to manufacture, tax incentives and government assistance, it has become more affordable for almost everyone. Installing a solar panel system from SolarMax Technology can help you start saving money on electricity and other utility bills within the first month.

Although it is possible to install solar panels on your own, it is highly recommended to have help from a professional. SolarMax is licensed, bonded and insured with the state of California. We do not begin the installation process without a full understanding of what our customer wants as well as proper permits. To help our customers understand how panels can change their lives, we ensure everything is put in writing and clearly explained.

SolarMax is one of the top ten largest installers of residential solar panels in the U.S.  and has many different payment plans available,  including options for both leasing and purchasing a system.
