Solar power is the ideal choice for many homes and businesses thanks to the growing popularity of renewable energy sources. Solar energy equipment utilizes solar panels to convert sunlight into direct current, which is then converted to alternating current to power a variety of electrical devices. In this blog, we will provide you with pricing information for solar equipment from PowerHome, including solar panels and solar generators.

A reliable electricity supply is vital for homes and businesses in modern life. However, power supply is not always stable, especially in the event of natural disasters or other emergencies, and power outages can be inconvenient or even harmful. To address these challenges, generator backup battery systems have been created. Such systems can store excess electricity generated by solar panels to provide power to a home during grid outages or at night when solar panels aren't generating electricity. PowerHome will go into more detail about what a generator backup battery does, how it works, and what it means for you.

Whether you're checking to see if your solar panels are working properly or monitoring the efficiency of your home's electricity usage, it's important to know how to read your solar panel's inverter. The inverter is the core component of your solar system, converting the direct current (DC) generated by your solar panels into alternating current (AC) that your home can use. Therefore, properly understanding the information on the inverter's display is critical to ensuring that your solar system is running efficiently.

Even Jimmy Carter recognized the historic nature of the solar panels, as he remarked at the time how generations would see the panels as “a curiosity, a museum piece” or “a small part of one of the greatest and most exciting adventures ever undertaken by the American people.” And, Carter was right, some of his White House solar panels are now museum pieces.

With the rapid rise of 5G communication, artificial intelligence, advanced computing, industrial Internet, and other new generations of information technology, the photovoltaic industry and information technology are developing faster than ever. They're also combining in new ways that are making it easier to use solar energy in smart ways. At PowerHome, we'll show you what smart solar panels are all about.

As of 2023, there have been a few changes to the U.S. federal solar tax credit. The tax credit policy got an update and a boost under the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). The act introduced two new ways to monetize tax credits: direct payments and transferable mechanisms. These new mechanisms are meant to make it easier for people to get tax credits and grow the market for financing green projects with tax credits. This should make it more efficient to use tax credits for clean energy and get more investors interested in the new energy industry.

By installing solar energy systems, dealerships can not only reduce operating costs, but also attract more environmentally conscious consumers and improve their brand image. PoweHome.com will explore how auto dealerships are seeing and capitalizing on the value of solar energy, with in-depth analyses from a variety of perspectives, including economic benefits, environmental impacts, market competitiveness, and prospects.

The word "off-grid" has a lot of different meanings in our lives. For some, "off-grid" means unplugging from work and not answering phone calls, emails, or texts (good luck with that, right?). For others, it means going against social norms and going at your own pace. This is closer to why people want to install solar equipment. They want to stop dealing with the external power grid and just generate their own electricity for their homes. Imagine the joy of cutting the wires!

As of 2024, American farmers have several avenues to obtain solar subsidies to help them install and use solar systems, enhancing energy efficiency and renewable energy use. These subsidies and incentives are provided by federal, state, and local governments, as well as private entities. Here are some key solar subsidies and incentives: Federal Solar Tax Credit: Investment Tax Credit (ITC): Farmers can receive a tax credit of 26% of the total cost of installing a solar system. This credit applies to both residential and commercial solar projects.

After installing a solar panel system, it can be confusing when you see your electric bill. Some of the numbers and terms may seem illegible, but we're here to assure you that it's not that bad. By understanding the various components of your electric bill and how excess solar power plays a role in your bill, you can get a clearer picture of your energy usage and savings. This article will break down your electric bill in detail and explain how you can maximize your energy savings by interfacing the electricity generated by your solar panel system with the grid.

When you're ready to invest in solar panels, you may begin to think about solar panel warranties. As an efficient, long-lasting energy solution, solar panels typically do not require frequent maintenance or repairs. Since solar panels have no moving parts, they rarely require maintenance or repairs over the life of the system. The most likely scenario for solar panels is decades of trouble-free power generation. However, in order to ensure that your investment is fully protected, it is crucial to understand the warranty period for solar panels and what it covers. This article will delve into solar panel warranties to help you better understand how to protect your solar investment.

Proposed Environmental Protection Agency amendments that would loosen coal ash rules came under scrutiny in an EPA public hearing in Arlington, Va., with environmentalists calling them illegal because of the lack of proper monitoring and protections for the public. The amendments call for an elimination of onsite dry coal ash storage requirements for utility companies, and the relenting of environmental protections on coal ash fill projects greater than 12,400 tons. The latter of the two amendments is the larger concern for environmentalists.

In recent years, climate change has emerged as a critical issue with far-reaching impacts on various aspects of our environment and infrastructure. One area that has gained increasing attention is the heightened risk climate change poses to coal ash ponds. It’s not difficult to find data that showcases the threat of climate change. For example, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration announced that June 2019 was the hottest June ever recorded, with records going back to 1880.

As climate change and the energy crisis intensify, solar energy, as a clean and renewable energy source, is receiving increasing attention. In order to promote the development of solar energy, the U.S. government has introduced a series of tax incentives, the most important of which is the federal solar energy tax credit (Investment Tax Credit, or ITC). These policies not only encourage individuals and businesses to install solar energy systems, but also provide a tremendous boost to the development of the solar industry. This article will delve into the specifics of the federal solar tax credit, its impact on the solar industry, and how it may change in the future.

Rooftop solar is becoming a popular way for homes and businesses to get clean, renewable energy. Net metering, which is a key part of rooftop solar, is opening up a new way for people to be energy self-sufficient.
