Residential solar has the capability to reduce homeowner’s utility bill up to 45%. In combination with energy storage, utility bills can be nearly eliminated. We are certified dealers for one of the nation's largest solar industry suppliers and have access to architecturally advanced solar panels to fit any aesthetic need.
Eagle Solar & Light offers a complimentary on-site visit review of your property to define the best option for solar. With solar power being new to many southern states, much of our focus is on education and matching customer objectives to the best products in the industry.
Residential Solar Information:
Solar Energy Systems have no moving parts, are noiseless, and require little maintenance. Most solar modules carry a 25-year warranty and are rated to withstand 1” diameter hail at 50 mph. Roof top racking is rated to withstand 120 mph winds. Financial benefits vary from utility company to utility company, but there is a federal tax credit of 30% regardless of location. Each utility company has their various rates, classes, surcharges, rebates, and net metering. We understand and speak the utility language, so you don’t have to.
We handle the entire process from design, utility licensing, municipal permitting, installation, and after sale service. Finally, our designs include cloud-based real time and historic system monitoring, accessible by any smart device.
Southern Solar Information:
The growth of the solar industry has grown exponentially in the southeast over the past 5 years. Residential solar is a large part of that expansion. With the solar potential of the south being second only to the southwest region of America, it is poised to become the next solar energy leader.
There are many misconceptions about solar energy in the southeast region ranging from it does not get enough sun to the humidity does not allow for solar energy to be stable. The fact of the matter is that Alabama ranks 13th in the nation in its raw solar potential and North Carolina was 2nd in the US for installed solar in 2017.
Residential Solar Example:
This residential solar example is the first photovoltaic (solar) ground mount in the City of Mountain Brook, Alabama. The system consists of 40 LG Solar modules, a SolarEdge inverter to convert the sun's DC energy to AC energy to power the house, and a Snap'N'Rack aluminum rail mounting system.
This system also includes a SolarEdge Zigbee monitoring kit which allows the homeowner to monitor daily energy production from any smart device.
