The DC energy generated by the solar panels is converted by the grid-tied inverter into AC power which can be used by a facility. If there is a short fall in solar generation, power is automatically pulled from the grid (JPS) to satisfy the needs of the facility. Grid-tied systems cannot store energy. They generate power only during daylight hours (6am – 6pm) after which all power to support the facility must be bought from the grid (JPS).

We use only top quality modules in all our systems and our modules have a minimum 25 years performance warranty. Similarly, our inverters are state-of-the-art high efficiency inverters to ensure the maximum conversion of sunlight into energy.

A grid-tied solar PV system can save up to 60% off your current JPS bill for residential customers and up to 75% for commercial customers. Our grid-tie systems use:

•  PV modules (also known as solar panels)

• Grid-tied inverter

• Balance of system (BOS) which includes cabling, combiner boxes , circuit breakers, lightening and surge protection

• Racking and mounting hardware

•  Remote monitoring via the cloud or mobile app

• Utility interconnect licensing, JPS Standard Offer Contract (SOC) as an available option

Our system pricing is all inclusive of mechanical and electrical installation and commissioning. 

A hybrid system has most of the same components as grid-tied with the following exceptions:

• PV panels – there are more panels in a hybrid system vs a grid-tied so as to generate power which can be stored on the batteries

• Hybrid inverter – replaces the grid-tied inverter. A hybrid inverter can charge and discharge the batteries to which it is connected. We only use high-efficiency all-in-one hybrid inverters

• Lithium Ion (LI) batteries – these batteries store the excess power generated from the solar panels

We use only LI batteries. In particular, we use LiFePo batteries which are the safest of existing LI battery chemistries. Our batteries are stackable to increase the amount of storage needed. They are maintenance free and desired to last for over 10 years (6,000 deep cycles). LI batteries offer a host of advantages over older lead-acid battery technology, including life-times, safety, space and weight savings.

Hybrid systems include the use of batteries to store excess power generated from the solar panels. Power is pulled from the batteries when the sun goes down to supply the needs of the facility. If there is a short fall in battery power, power automatically and seamlessly pulled from the JPS grid. With a hybrid system is possible to reduce the JPS bill by 95% and more.
