Is a 35kW Solar System the Right Choice for You?

A 35kW solar system could be ideal if:

Your property uses approximately 1,050-1,400 kW of electricity each month.
You want to lower or completely offset your monthly energy costs significantly.
You have sufficient roof or property space for installing solar panels.
You’re ready to invest in energy independence and enjoy substantial long-term savings.

A 35kW solar system is an excellent option for medium-sized homes, small businesses, or farms with steady energy requirements. Plus, if your system produces more electricity than you consume, you can use net metering to return the excess power to the grid and potentially earn credits or additional income!

Solar System Components

Gaining insight into the components of a 35kW solar system will help you understand how they work together to produce dependable, renewable energy.

Solar Panels

Solar panels are the foundation of your 35kW solar system, converting sunlight into usable electricity. Based on their efficiency and the amount of sunlight in your area, achieving a 35kW capacity typically requires 35–45 high-efficiency panels. We proudly install American-made solar panels and back them with our Triple 10 Warranty, guaranteeing quality and reliability.

Inverters

Inverters play a crucial role in transforming the direct current (DC) power generated by solar panels into alternating current (AC) electricity, which powers your home or business. Advanced inverters also feature real-time energy monitoring, enabling your system to operate efficiently. We install top brands such as Sol Ark, Solar Edge, and Tesla inverters to ensure efficiency and dependability.

Meters

Smart meters monitor the energy generated by your grid-tied or hybrid solar system and measure the amount of electricity you use or return to the grid. These meters are essential for benefiting from net metering, which allows you to earn credits for excess power sent back. Additionally, a production meter is needed to calculate and sell Solar Renewable Energy Credits (SRECs), offering an extra income opportunity from your solar installation.

Batteries

Batteries are required for off-grid and hybrid systems. In an off-grid configuration, the battery stores energy to supply power to your property during the night. For hybrid systems, the battery serves as a backup during outages while supporting nighttime energy use. This versatility makes batteries a critical feature for achieving energy independence.

Racking System

Whether you opt for a roof-mounted or ground-mounted solar setup, a reliable and efficient racking system is vital to hold your panels in place securely. Our Tough Trac system, designed and manufactured in-house, offers exceptional strength and durability. With integrated wire management for improved functionality, Tough Trac is a top-tier solution for effectively mounting solar panels.

Our Solar Panel Installation Process

Start by contacting us via phone or requesting a quote through our website! When you get in touch, have your address, a recent utility bill, and an estimated budget ready. This information helps us to assess your needs and provide an accurate estimate for your 35kW solar system installation.

You’ll receive a free online proposal for your 35kW solar system installation. This proposal will outline the project’s total cost, an estimated timeframe for the system to pay for itself, and a proposed installation schedule. Once you review and approve the proposal with an electronic signature and submit a down payment, we’ll begin the installation process!

Once the contract is signed, we will collaborate with local authorities to ensure all necessary applications and permits are submitted. Once the permits are approved, our team will visit your property to start the installation process. When the system is installed, we will thoroughly test it to confirm it produces energy and operates efficiently.

Solar Panel FAQ

A 35kW residential solar system generally has a lifespan of 25 to 30 years. The solar panels are built to operate efficiently for at least 25 years, while other components like inverters and batteries might need replacement sooner. Inverters typically last 10–15 years, and the lifespan of batteries depends on their type and usage. Regular maintenance and proper care can help extend the system’s overall lifespan and ensure optimal performance throughout its use.

Solar panels generate electricity by capturing sunlight, including both direct and diffused sunlight. While their efficiency may decrease on cloudy or overcast days compared to sunny conditions, they will still generate electricity, ensuring consistent power production regardless of the weather. This ensures your system continues to generate power under varying weather conditions.

Sustainable Power Source: Solar energy is limitless, renewable, and a dependable sustainable option for the future.
Lower Utility Costs: Producing your own electricity can significantly reduce or even eliminate your monthly energy bills.
Eco-Friendly Solution: Solar power is a clean energy source, avoiding the use of fossil fuels and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Boosted Property Value: A study by Zillow shows that installing a solar system can raise your home’s value in Pennsylvania by up to 4.1%.

A grid-tied or hybrid residential solar system allows you to transfer any excess electricity back to the utility grid through net metering. This process allows the excess energy to earn credits on your account, which can be applied to balance the electricity you draw from the grid. These credits help reduce your future energy bills and lower your overall electricity costs.
