Solar power can run the whole house

Solar power can run the whole house

One of the common misconceptions about solar power is that you run only certain items with the power that is produced.

While this may be the case with off-grid systems, grid-tied systems, like the ones Simple Solar installs, do not provide power to specific devices. Instead, it is simply a percentage of the electricity that your entire house uses.

For example, you could offset 10%, 50% or even 100% of your monthly electrical usage.

The solar system ties into your home’s electrical system and simply provides power as it is produced. The amount of your usage that can be offset by solar depends on the size and angle of your roof, as well as your budget. Many customers offset their entire electric bills with solar.
