Types of Solar systems we offer for Fleetwood PA

At Belmont Solar, we proudly offer a wide selection of solar systems in Fleetwood to meet all kinds of energy needs.

Grid-tie Solar Systems

These systems are directly tied to the power grid, enabling you to return surplus energy to the grid and receive credits through a process known as net metering. Your solar panels produce energy during the day, while at night, you draw power from the grid, helping to reduce your electricity costs substantially.

Hybrid Solar Systems

This hybrid solution merges the advantages of both systems, enabling you to remain connected to the grid while storing energy in backup batteries for emergencies. It guarantees you’re ready for power outages while still benefiting from net metering.

Off Grid Solar Systems

These systems operate entirely off the grid, storing energy in backup batteries throughout the day for use at night or during inclement weather. If you have a building on your property that isn’t linked to the grid, or if you’re aiming for energy independence in your home, an off-grid system is the perfect solution.

Components In A Residential Solar System

Understanding how a solar system works can make it easier to decide if it’s the right fit for your home. At Belmont Solar, we’re proud to serve Fleetwood residents with expert advice and dependable solar installation. Every system we build includes three main components: high-efficiency panels that capture energy from the sun, an inverter that changes that energy into usable electricity, and a durable mounting system that positions the panels securely for optimal performance.

Solar Panels

The solar panels are the primary energy producers in your system, capturing sunlight and converting it into usable power for your home. Designed for lasting reliability and efficient output, they provide steady electricity with little maintenance required over the years.

Inverters

Inverters play a critical role in your solar system by transforming the direct current (DC) from your panels into alternating current (AC), which powers your household appliances and electronics. Engineered for long-lasting operation and seamless compatibility, our inverters ensure your system runs efficiently and delivers dependable energy day after day.

Racking System

The racking system provides the essential framework that holds your solar panels securely in place, aligning them at the best angle to absorb maximum sunlight. It’s a vital part of ensuring your system stays steady and efficient over the long term. Discover how our Tough Trac mounting system enhances your installation with reinforced strength and long-lasting reliability.

Solar Panel FAQ

No. Solar panels are still able to convert indirect or diffuse light into electricity, though it’s significantly less efficient. This is also why solar panels can still generate energy when it’s cloudy. You don’t have to live in California or Texas to reap the benefits of installing solar panels!

That answer depends on the size and shape of your house’s roof. Typically, one solar panel (or photovoltaic module) measures 3 feet by 5 feet, taking up 15 square feet of space. You can approximate how many of them could fit on your roof by taking your roof’s surface area and dividing it by 15.

An easier way to find out how many solar panels you can fit on your roof is to contact Belmont Solar and get a free quote and recommendations based on your unique needs!

Most solar panels have warranties lasting 20-25 years. However, they can continue to produce electricity for over 30 years, albeit with some efficiency loss over time.

Yes, you can install solar panels on all kinds of metal roofing. Metal roofs are just as compatible to mount solar panels on as shingled roofs. However, standing seam metal roofs typically make for easier and faster solar installations.

Before getting started with your solar installation, you’ll need to obtain the appropriate permits, which are generally required to move ahead with the project. For details specific to your area, it’s a good idea to contact the Fleetwood permit office.

At Belmont Solar, we handle the entire permitting process on your behalf, taking care of the paperwork so your project moves forward seamlessly and without hassle.

Homeowners in Fleetwood, PA, can take part in Pennsylvania’s Solar Renewable Energy Certificate (SREC) program, which provides a financial benefit for producing solar electricity. Every time your solar system generates 1,000 kilowatt-hours (kWh), you receive an SREC that can be sold to help offset your investment. It’s a smart way to enhance the long-term value of going solar.

What our customers say

I used Belmont for my rooftop solar project and they were great! They were quick to get me a proposal when I first reached out, happy to modify it to suit my needs, offered experienced input and recommendations, and provided a complimentary site visit to go over the specifics and finalize the details before any commitments were made. The installation happened faster than expected and their entire team was responsive to all my questions along the way. The combination of value and service is outstanding! Highly recommend!

Nicholas Piro

Belmont Solar is a great company to work with. They were much cheaper than one of the large solar companies and actually sent an engineer out to help scope out the system. Our install was not the usual setup because we wanted a battery and already had a generator. They got it all installed and it works great. I really enjoyed the whole process. Highly recommended!

James Rumbaugh

Belmont Solar estimated all costs accurately, and including them in their contract with me, for a ground mounted 22 KW solar system installed at my residence. The installation went smoothly. February 15th 2023 was the one year anniversary of the Solar Panels being placed on line by my utility company. In the first 12 months the panels produced 28.8 megawatts of power. All payback calculations presented by Belmont were based on an annual production of 27 megawatts of power. I believe they are reliable and trustworthy.

George Metzler

I’m very happy with my choice to use Belmont Solar for my solar project. I found Ben Zook to be straight-forward and knowledgeable and the installers to be professional and personable.

I talked to three solar firms before deciding to go with Belmont. I ruled out the first firm when I noticed a contentious clause in the fine print of their contract. In final discussions, the third firm promised to get me up and running fast while Belmont promised to do a very neat job. I think this is the reason I ultimately decided to go with Belmont.

During the project, Ben Zook went above and beyond to fix a financing mistake that was clearly my fault and the installers offered to spend extra time in my hot and uncomfortable attic to make the final system look great. The system was finished in a timely fashion, looks awesome and performs as expected. Belmont exceeded my expectations on multiple occasions, which is why I’ve published this review and why I’m recommending them to my father for a ground mount system in the near future.

Absolutely a+

Although I decided not to install solar at this time, I found Ben to be both knowledgeable and especially honest. His 15+ years of hands-on experience provide him with a wealth of insight.

Mike Heaney

I interviewed several national solar companies looking for the best way to affordably install solar on my house. One told me to remove eleven trees, then they might consider looking at my house. Another offered to share fifteen dollars a month of the savings, if I paid one hundred a month for the privilege. Huh???

Finally a friend suggested Belmont Solar. My first call to Ben Zook put me totally at ease, there was no pressure but much professionalism and incredible knowledge. He quoted me not one or two options, but four. Contrary to one review here, he understood my budget and respected it without a second thought. He is a man of great integrity, you will find out for yourself. I can’t help but laugh at the negative reviews below. He “threatened” me too, why, he even showed up in my yard personally to resolve an unforeseen issue, at no charge. Such a ‘troublemaker’, LOL. He’s a very kind and honest man, period.

Long story short, Isaac and Jonathon came from Belmont for the installation, were perfect gentlemen and extremely helpful and clearly very skilled, and a year later I already have forty percent of my investment back in my bank account. It pays back that fast! I’m already saving my dollars to make my system bigger and would not dream of anyone but Ben and the Belmont team…. and I’m in New England!

Go with the best, Belmont Solar, and trust me when I say it’s smart to go solar. You won’t regret it, I sure don’t. You can totally trust Ben and his team, I’ll never have it any other way. I’m Bill Dudley, Foxboro, Mass., and I give you my word.
