System type 01
Grid-Tied Solar
The most popular and cost-effective way to go solar.
Grid-tied solar systems allow your home to generate electricity during the day while remaining connected to the utility grid. This setup helps reduce energy costs while providing reliable access to utility power when needed.
How It Works
- Solar panels generate electricity during daylight hours
- Your home uses solar power first before pulling from the grid
- Excess energy can be sent back to the grid through net metering
Why Homeowners Choose It
- Lower utility bills
- Lower upfront cost than battery-based systems
- Reliable and low-maintenance
- Maximizes solar production and efficiency
Homeowners looking to reduce energy costs while staying connected to the utility grid.
System type 02
Solar + Battery Backup
Backup power when you need it most.
Battery backup systems store excess solar energy so you can continue powering important parts of your home during outages, storms, or high-demand utility periods.
How It Works
- Solar panels charge a battery system during the day
- Stored energy powers critical systems when the grid goes down
- Your home can continue operating even during outages
Why Homeowners Choose It
- Reliable backup power during storms and outages
- Greater energy independence
- Reduced reliance on the utility grid
- Better use of your solar energy
Homeowners who want added peace of mind and reliable backup power.
System type 03
Off-Grid Solar
Complete energy independence.
Off-grid systems operate independently from the utility grid using solar panels, battery storage, and optional backup generators to provide reliable power year-round.
How It Works
- Solar panels generate and store energy in battery systems
- Batteries power your home day and night
- Optional generators provide additional support during extended low-sun periods
Why Homeowners Choose It
- Full energy independence
- No monthly utility bills
- Reliable power for remote locations
- Designed for Maine's rugged conditions
Remote homes, cabins, camps, and homeowners seeking complete self-sufficiency.
