Off Grid Photovoltaics Installation in Tucson
Too often, we depend on utility grids for our energy source. Not only does this take a toll on the environment, but it can also drain your wallet. According to the Edison Electric Institute, electricity prices are expected to increase in the coming years. At The Solar Store, we want residents to know they have options when it comes to their electricity—options that are environmentally safe and economically efficient. One great option is using an off grid photovoltaic system.
Off grid solar electrical systems use an inverter, charge controller, and storage batteries to power homes. The solar modules capture the sunlight and the charge controllers regulate the energy into a battery bank. This way, even when the main power line in a town goes off, your home can still have the energy it needs to function properly. If you live in a rural location away from a main utility grid, it can be expensive to have power lines stretching to their homes. With an off grid photovoltaic system, you won’t have rely on others for power. Similarly, this system allows you to become energy self-sufficient, which can prove helpful during an emergency!

For people "starting from zero" this was a huge help to us.
“Katharine - Thanks to you and the team for getting our solar set up promptly and professionally. I don't have enough good things to say about Kevin, the teams who conducted the installations, and your own involvement. All our friends who got solar done (or tried) have horror stories about scams and unprofessional behavior; it put us off from trying this for a while. We were at first relieved and then very happy. Everyone we interacted with was friendly, professional and knowledgeable about the process, technology and government requirements. For people "starting from zero" this was a huge help to us.”- JDC
