The output of a solar system and the potential for self-consumption is dependent on several factors: the orientation (North, South, East, or West), the inclination angle of the roof, and the size of the solar system. The share of self-consumption depends on the demand for electricity in a given household – it can increase through intelligent use of solar power and the application of data loggers/monitoring devices and storage systems.

A solar system is an appropriate solution for any location where at least 107.6 ft² (10 m²) of roof area is available. In addition to the geographic location, the amount of electrical output is influenced by several factors: the orientation (north, south, east, or west), the inclination angle of the roof, and the size of the solar system.

If your solar system happens to generate more energy than needed, there are two options for how that excess energy can be used. If net metering is available, the excess energy can be fed back into the grid. If net metering is not available, the excess energy can be stored for future use. This helps maximize your energy savings and ensures you always have access to power when needed, even during cloudy days or at night.

Yes, in most areas, you will need permits before installing a solar system. These permits vary by location and may include building permits, electrical permits, and permits for connecting to the grid. Our solar partner can assist with navigating the permitting process.

An on-grid solar system is connected to the electrical grid and allows you to draw power when solar energy production is insufficient. An off-grid system operates independently, requiring energy storage solutions like batteries for backup power. Your choice will depend on your location and energy needs.
