Why Solar
Clean, Cost-effective, and Reliable: Why Solar Energy Works
At Ametric Solar, we believe in providing Connecticut homeowners and businesses with long-term, practical solutions for energy savings and sustainability. Solar energy allows you to take control of rising utility costs, reduce your environmental impact, and invest in the value of your property—while contributing to a cleaner, more resilient energy future.
Benefits of Going Solar
Solar panels generate power directly from sunlight, reducing your need to purchase electricity from the grid. This can lead to substantial monthly savings, particularly in Connecticut, where energy rates remain high.
Protection from Rising Rates
Utility prices continue to increase year over year. Installing solar allows you to lock in predictable energy costs and gain more control over your household or business expenses.
Increased Property Value
Solar-equipped homes are often appraised higher and sell faster. Buyers value long-term energy savings, and many lenders recognise the added value of solar when refinancing or selling.
Energy Independence
Solar energy reduces your dependence on traditional utility providers. With the option to include battery storage, you can retain power even during outages and peak demand times.
Environmental Benefits
Every kilowatt of solar energy produced helps lower greenhouse gas emissions and reduces dependence on fossil fuels. Going solar supports environmental stewardship and a cleaner future for our communities.
How Solar Power Works
Here’s how the process works from sunlight to power:
-
Solar panels collect sunlight: High-efficiency photovoltaic (PV) panels installed on your roof convert sunlight into direct current (DC) electricity.
-
Inverter converts energy: The DC electricity is sent to an inverter—such as those from our partners at Enphase Energy or Solaredge Technologies—which converts it into alternating current (AC) power used throughout your home or business.
-
Power is used or sent to the grid: The AC electricity powers your space immediately. Any excess energy is either stored (if a battery is installed) or sent back to the grid for credit through net metering.
