Solar Energy or Photovoltaic (PV) technology converts sunlight into electricity. The sun offers the earth an infinite energy supply. Solar Liberty gives you the power to save money, reduce dependency on fossil fuels, and protect the environment by utilizing the sun’s precious gifts.
Solar Liberty’s design team will assess your energy needs and space requirements to assure you are given the best installation options. The following types of solar installations are the most common:
A roof installation takes advantage of space that is not yet being utilized, turning your roof into an electricity producing power plant. The solar system installation can be done on a flat or slanted roof. Roof top installations cut down on transmission costs because the electricity is being produced exactly where it is needed.
Depending on the type of roof, it may not be necessary to penetrate the roof to mount the solar system. Solar Liberty also utilizes solar laminates and solar shingles that adhere directly to your roof with no mounting components needed. In addition, the solar system protects the roof from the damaging effects of weather and UV radiation cutting down on yearly maintenance costs.
BIPV is the combination of a buildings exterior with solar panels or solar laminates. Imagine a building that uses semi-transparent glass solar panels for its windows, facades and skylights which produce clean, nonpolluting electricity all day long.
BIPV drastically cuts costs by combining building materials with power generation. This type of solar system is easily installed with standard construction practices on new or existing buildings or residences. BIPV solar modules have high aesthetic standards guaranteeing the highest quality appearance for every kind of building structure.
Ground Mounted systems are becoming increasingly popular as an alternative to roof mounted systems. Ground Mounted systems can also be combined with solar tracking, or a mechanism to allow the solar system to change position throughout the day to follow the sun to increase the systems efficiency. Ground Mounted Systems can also be utilized in off-grid applications where it is too expensive to connect to the electrical grid.
Ground Mounted systems are also an excellent option for customers looking to profit from producing clean, renewable energy to sell to the electrical grid. Solar Liberty can provide customers with assistance in obtaining long term power purchase agreements from utilities or third party entities.
Not only will a Solar Canopy produce electricity from the suns rays, but it will also provide shading and shelter from harsh weather. This option is great for parking lots and many other applications.
