A Guide to Rooftop Solar Panels and Ground Mount Systems Solar energy is great because it can produce clean electricity right on sight. In ideal conditions, solar panels installed on a roof can generate enough electricity to run an entire household. Unfortunately, conditions are not always ideal. Roofs across the country are all different with variables like direction, angle, and material.   Should I Install Solar Panels on My Roof? Because the benefits of solar energy

The Importance of Monitoring Your Electricity Consumption (and Solar Energy Production) Every month, millions of Americans begrudging pay their electricity bills without even giving it a second glance.  Although electricity is a necessary expense, if it is left unmonitored, usage and utility bills can end up being much higher than expected.  Having a full understanding of how your home’s electricity is used is the best way to lower your utility expenses.    Factors that Influence your

Solar is a relatively new industry in Georgia, but it actually ranked as the 9th highest solar powered state back in 2017.  This is largely in part due to utility scale solar panel installations from the Facebook data centers in the north to peanut, corn, and cotton farms in the South.  Large installations like these helped drastically reduce the cost per watt of electricity for business owners that use enormous amounts of power. On the

Solar panels are being installed everyday in the Peach State, and for good reason.  In addition to cutting down on local carbon emissions, many home and business owners are actually saving money on their electricity costs by installing solar panels.  The trend has become so popular that Georgia Energy Data has created this fun, interactive solar map for you to track or add solar installations all across the state Why Southern Georgia Businesses Should Consider

In the midst of a global health pandemic, more and more individuals throughout Southern Georgia and Northern Florida are taking action to prepare for grid failure and be ready when disaster strikes.  In this article, we are going to outline the benefits of owning an off grid or battery backed solar energy system in a disaster scenario. The Critical Uses for Solar Electricity If you own an off grid solar energy system, then you will

The Best Type of Batteries for Solar Energy: Lithium Iron Lithium Iron Phosphate (also known as LifeP04) batteries are the best overall option for storing electricity.  The technology behind Lithium iron batteries is relatively new when compared to traditional lead acid batteries, but is quickly gaining popularity as an incredible solution for electricity storage.  In fact, in 2019, the Nobel Prize for Chemistry was awarded to a group of scientists for their development related to

As a solar company based in Cairo, GA, one of the most common questions we hear from our neighbors in Southern Georgia and Northern Florida is, “How much do solar panels for my home cost?”  Once the initial sticker shock is out of the way, most people will usually follow up wondering how long it takes for the system to “pay for itself” against normal utility bills.   Unfortunately, the answers to these questions are not
