Residential solar is when you install solar panels also known as solar modules on your residential property. There are several methods of residential solar installations, learn more about solar installations. The purpose is to offset your electric bill by producing your own clean power on site. This saves you a great deal of money because producing your own power onsite is far less expensive then purchasing it from the utility.
Advanced energy storage systems consist of lithium ion batteries similar to what you would find in your phone. The benefit to these types of batteries is their ability to be completely discharged and recharged without damaging the battery. A huge upgrade from traditional lead acid batteries which get damaged when you discharge over 30% of their capacity.
Once solar panels have been installed on your home, or business, you are ready to start using solar power. The solar panels, which are made up of photovoltaic (PV) cells, convert sunlight into direct current (DC) electricity. The inverter then takes the direct current (DC) electricity and converts it into alternating current (AC) electricity, which is sent to the electrical panel.
Solar installations can be installed in a variety ways and depend on roof type, available space, obstructions, etc. Bellow we'll explore examples of different installation methods from previously installed projects. To the right is an example of an install on asphalt shingle roofing. Solar installations can also be done on roofs with clay tile, concrete tile, metal, EPDM, etc.

Fantastic service!!
We researched many solar companies, some local, some national. We almost signed up with Sungevity who went bankcrupt literally days after the first meeting! Phew, we almost got ourselves knee deep in a whole load of trouble there!!!
We finally signed up with Modern Solar. We liked the idea of dealing with a local family run business, and now that the system is installed and producing power, we are definite we made the right decision.
Edmund and his dad, Moe are not only friendly, they are super knowledgeable and they fully explained the process every step of the way.

It's been a year since Modern Solar installed our system and our initial enthusiasm has only increased. Our electric bill was perfectly zeroed out at the end of the year (we generated exactly what we used). We interviewed numerous solar installers prior to making our choice. Edmund and Moe were by far the most knowledgeable, reasonably priced, and honest. They were also careful to place the panels both where they were most efficient and looked the best. I cannot say enough great things about them and the entire experience.

Edmund and Moe installed my solar system and replaced my service panel in Joshua Tree. I did get competitive quotes and I thoroughly researched all available solar tech options. The Solar research process can be a bit overwhelming, but Edmund was very helpful with all of my questions. I now I have a system that is producing an energy credit every month. The installation even looks great on my house, which I did not think was possible. I highly recommend Modern Solar. Very professional folks and a solid investment.

With Modern Solar, one does not merely have solar power installed. These people are dedicated to full disclosure and full information on every aspect of the process prior to starting the job. They made us part of the total process. At every step, including financing, they made sure we fully understood. We use a lot of electricity, having 2 Edison meters, so Modern Solar installed 2 ground-mount units. They got our approval of the exact locations before they laid it out; they had us inspect the holes dug for the supports, the concrete poured into these holes, the installation of the supports and

After an extensive comparison of contractors for my solar project I choose modern solar. Based on multiple recommendations. I have to say I could not be happier. The install was complete in one day and overall project was done very quickly. All of the staff at modern solar were very personable, answered all of my questions, and there were alot. Most of all they honest and informative. My system is up and running I highly recommend this company for all your solar needs.

My family and I were looking to install solar panels for our home and began our search in the community. We found that not many companies could answer all the questions we had and they lacked a lot knowledge regarding the solar process. By luck we had the pleasure of having a consultation with Edmund from Modern Solar. He showed professionalism and was a pleasure to talk with from day one. He was able to answer all the questions and concerns that we had and at no time did he make us feel like a question was too dumb to ask. The installation process exceeded my expectations. Their professionalism

FANTASTIC!! I could not be more pleased with the service provided by Modern Solar. They were extremely thorough, informing me of every detail every step of the way from consultation to install. I had met with all the solar companies in Riverside County and no one was more informative or knowledgeable. I got a HUGE tax credit, didn't have to put any money down and my property value increased! They were so great and my electric bill went from 700-1,000 a month to 11 dollars. So...I decided to do my second home with them and referred them to others I know. I highly recommend them. You won't be disappointed
