Cool Roof https://solartechonline.com/blog/cool-roof/ https://solartechonline.com/blog/cool-roof/#respond Thu, 01 Oct 2020 16:47:32 +0000 https://solartechonline.com/cool-roof/ Cool Roof

Run your AC MORE with Solar

Fact: Installing solar panels on your roof can help lower your homes temperature. Researchers at UCSD found that installing solar panels will block the sunlight hitting your roof by as much as 38%, in-turn lowering your homes temperature by as much as 5 degrees. This air gap allows cooling of the roof and cooler solar panels which produce more solar over time. This can help to reduce cooling costs in your home.  There are other factors that play into this calculation, roofing type, insulation value, etc. The key take-away is the added value of reduced heat to your home or building with solar installed.  Adding solar panels is a benefit over adding solar roof tiles that sit right on the surface of the roof, eliminating the air space and the cooling factor.

  • Increase Building Efficiency
  • Save money on Cooling Costs
  • Passive Shading – Added Insulation Value to your Roof
  • Reduce building temperatures
  • Save Energy and Operation Costs
  • Install before the end of the year

SolarTech, San Diego’s leading Solar provider provides premium roofing services.  Some customers may require new or partial roofing before installing a solar system on their old roof.  SolarTech has leading roofing options that help in cooling the home or business.  Options such as Duration® Cool Shingle technology, have heat reflecting granules to help decrease the amount of heat transferred onto the home and meet Title 24 Cool Roof requirements. This is just one of the many cool roof options SolarTech has to help you combat heat and energy consumption.

Solar Storage https://solartechonline.com/blog/solar-storage/ https://solartechonline.com/blog/solar-storage/#respond Wed, 16 Sep 2020 21:05:56 +0000 https://solartechonline.com/solar-storage/ Adding Solar Storage to a Solar System can STOP Blackouts
and help alleviate high power bills from the electric company.

Stop the high bills!

How does it work?

Solar batteries can be used in the event of a power failure.  No more Blackouts!  Solar Installers will work with home owners to identify key loads such as refrigeration, lighting and communication circuits all while keeping your solar energy system operating and producing power.  A Solar Storage system can be set up to power your whole home (battery count depends on load needs) or be set up to power your critical loads.

Solar Batteries can be set to different charge and discharge schedules set by your installer.  These schedules can be adjusted to offset your power when your home or business starts to creep into the higher rate tiers.  The battery will recognize when there is additional need for power and start powering your home helping to offset your power reliance on the grid.  Stop the high bills.

Batteries also work great on cloudy days, when your solar array may not be charging and you could start to use from the grid, the battery will recognize this and kick in the extra electricity needed.  Solar batteries will continue to provide power even when solar is not producing during night-time hours.

Are you in a Fire Zone that is frequented by power shutdowns?  With solar storage you won’t have to worry about having no electricity. You can have greater peace of mind knowing your solar storage system will keep your home power on.

Did you Know?

By 2025 Solar Batteries will be mandated or incentivized for practically every new solar PV system across the US.

Benefits:
  • No Noise – Unlike generators, Solar Storage Systems do not make loud noise like generators.  They run virtually silent.
  • Reduce Carbon Footprint – Stop relying on the power grid for your electricity. Go Green with Solar Storage, help reduce pollution.
  • Greater Energy Security – Have Peace of Mind in the event of a Power Failure, you will have power. Never have to experience a black-out again.
  • SGIP – Self-Generation Incentive Program – CA based program incentivizing people to support new, existing, and distributed energy resources. Qualifying for the program could mean you get a rebate.
  • Automation and Optimization – Owners will be able to choose how to use their storage system when installed, as backup and/or energy off-setting. Installers will choose settings to best optimize and automate the needs for your home or business.

SunPower & Maxeon https://solartechonline.com/blog/sunpower-maxeon/ https://solartechonline.com/blog/sunpower-maxeon/#respond Mon, 31 Aug 2020 19:28:24 +0000 https://solartechonline.com/sunpower-maxeon/ Have You Heard?

SunPower and Maxeon created a new two company structure that will continue to develop, manufacture, and commercialize next generation solar panel technologies. This change will facilitate scale-up of Maxeon’s production capacity and allow for development of the next generation of Maxeon product, the company’s core focus. SunPower will have an exclusive supply agreement for the U.S. while Maxeon will expand distribution worldwide. SunPower will continue to focus on sales of residential and commercial solar and storage products, becoming a “pure-play, distributed generation energy services company leveraging the world’s best solar platform.”

SunPower’s new Maxeon® Gen 5 cell is 65% larger than prior generations, delivering the most powerful cell and highest-efficiency panel in residential solar. The result is more power per square foot than any other solar panel on the market.

The new SunPower/Maxeon business structure will help in supporting SolarTech to bring premium solar products to our residential and commercial customers.  We are encouraged to hear about this exciting restructuring and how it will help SunPower continue to lead the U.S. solar industry. The unique suite of “all-in-one” products SunPower is focused on delivering will continue to set the company apart from competitors, while Maxeon will focus on innovation and manufacturing cost reduction.

SolarTech is committed to providing our customers with the best products at the best prices, and that’s why we’ve partnered with SunPower to bring you the best in residential and commercial solar panels. With decades of experience designing and building the most efficient solar cells in the world, SunPower also stands as the industry-leader in product performance and durability, allowing them to offer a substantially better warranty than the competition.

Rolling Blackouts https://solartechonline.com/blog/rolling-blackouts/ https://solartechonline.com/blog/rolling-blackouts/#respond Wed, 26 Aug 2020 16:30:34 +0000 https://solartechonline.com/rolling-blackouts/ Flex Alert – Rolling Blackouts

Rolling Blackouts happen when the power demand is greater than the power supply capability of the network.  When the demand is greater than the network can handle, shutdowns can happen on a rolling basis.

SDG&E has been put on alert that we are on the watch list for rolling blackouts due to the high heat.  What does that mean to you?  SDG&E has been put on notice by California ISO (Independent System Operator), that we may experience rolling blackouts.  The blackouts will happen by circuit, each neighborhood is assigned a circuit number. See your circuit here. They will last about an hour and will be put on a rotating schedule.

How can you overcome this power obstacle? Solar+Storage is the best way to help alleviate the stress of blackouts. You will not have to worry about being without power. Your home or business will function seamlessly with Solar+Storage by SolarTech.
