Solar Panels

We Design and Install Solar Panels

With the ever-changing needs for electricity on demand, solar energy can offset your costs and deliver consistent electrical power using solar panels and battery storage. At State Electric, our design team works with customers and provides solutions that will offset high electrical costs while meeting constant power demands. Whether it is rooftop, ground mount panels, or tied into battery storage and phased with a backup generator; we can provide options for your energy needs.

Turn Sunlight into Useable Energy

Earth gets bathed in an enormous amount of energy from the sun every day. Photovoltaic (PV) solar panels absorb this energy and converts the sunlight into electrical energy. Each panel contains solar cells, which are made from two layers of silicon. The silicon solar cells comprise natural ingredients; once they are mixed with photons (light), they excite the electrons of the cell loose and travel along the wires to an external device and create an electrical current. This current can either be used right away to generate electricity or stored in batteries for later use.

Solar energy is renewable and does not cause air pollution or damage the Earth’s surface, unlike fossil fuels. However, when the sun does not shine, stored energy via battery backups may be required to tide you over on cloudy days. Most solar panel purchases include a compact home battery system for this reason. You can purchase additional battery units to store excess solar energy and use this power source day or night during power outages.

State Electric is a top notch company. They did the installation of our home charger and were amazing. All of the staff were kind, responsive and a breeze to work with.
