Overview
When considering the installation of a solar electric power system for your home, you must first decide the intended use of the electricity. A small grid-tied system will offset some of your utility costs. A larger system could offset all of your annual electric costs and produce additional electricity to sell back to the utility company. A grid-tied system may also incorporate a battery backup which will provide electricity at times when power from the utility is down. You may also consider an off-grid system for areas without utility access. The size and options you select will determine the equipment and cost. Westwood can assist you with any of these systems.
