Why

Electricity generated from solar panels is free, nearly infinitely abundant, and non-polluting. Efficienado Solutions is committed to customize every system we install to fit your home and savings goals with the most intelligently designed, efficient and cost effective solar energy systems available in today's marketplace.


What

PV gets its name from the process of converting light (photons) to electricity (voltage), which is called the Photovoltaics effect. Photovoltaics can literally be translated as light-electricity.

Traditional solar cells are made from silicon, are usually flat-plate, and generally are the most efficient. In most PV cells, photons (light energy) hit the cells, exciting electrons in the atoms of a semi-conducting material (Silicon). The energized electrons result in the generation of an electrical voltage. In other words, electrons flow, producing direct current (DC) electricity.

PV panels and arrays are used in both stand-alone power systems and grid-connected generation systems. PV panels work well in both rural and urban conditions.

The cost of solar panels has fallen significantly in recent years as production expands and technologies improve. Today, thousands of people power their homes and businesses with individual solar PV systems.


How

We take a proactive project management approach that makes the solar transition easy to manage. Our business model allows us to manage the entire solar energy process. In this way we make it easy for our clients to realize the financial and social benefits of solar energy. 

The U.S. federal government and some states provide tax credits for solar systems. Depending on where you live, you will be eligible for incentives through your utility company.
