Electricity from the Sun

Are you interested in using the sun's energy to provide clean electricity for your home or business? The following pages provide information on photovoltaic (PV) technologies and opportunities for you to invest in PV systems.

PV systems are reliable, pollution free, reduce utility costs, and use a renewable source of energy-the sun. People across the nation are showing increased interest in solar electric systems for their homes and businesses. Although solar electricity is still relatively expensive, it is becoming more affordable all the time.

This section will help you learn more about solar energy and provide you with the information to be an informed shopper. A PV system can be a substantial investment, and as with any investment, careful planning will help ensure that you make the right decisions.

These materials are not a technical guide for designing or installing your system-for that information, we recommend that you consult an experienced PV system designer or system supplier ("PV provider") who will have detailed technical specifications and other necessary information.
