The Local Connection: Why Hiring Local Solar Contractors is Advantageous

September 25, 2024
When considering solar panels, homeowners face a crucial decision: to opt for a local solar installation company or to go with a national firm. While national companies offer the allure of high-end marketing and seemingly streamlined services, local solar installers, like Sun’s Eye Solar, bring unique advantages that can make all the difference. By choosing a local provider, homeowners benefit from personalized service, a deep understanding of regional regulations and climate conditions, and a commitment to quality that often comes with servicing people within your community.

Off-Grid Solar Installation: A Beginners Guide

August 20, 2024
Whether you are considering an off-grid solar installation for your family cabin or your everyday remote dwelling, there are some basic variables you’ll want to understand before deciding what type of system to invest in. Important considerations, such as your installation method, average electrical loads, and storage needs, will ultimately affect how your system performs. At Sun’s Eye Solar, we offer free consultations to customers in Washington State, helping them make the most efficient decisions possible when designing their off-grid systems. Let’s start with the basics… What is an Off-Grid Solar System? Off-grid solar photovoltaic systems consist of solar panels, an inverter, and solar batteries for energy storage. Unlike grid-tied solar systems with battery backup, off-grid systems are designed for structures that are not linked to the electrical grid. Sometimes, these systems also incorporate backup generators to provide extra power during extended cloudy periods. Off-grid solar setups are often the most cost-effective solution when extending the power grid to a home is prohibitively expensive or impossible.
