HOME SOLAR
Sunlight, also referred to as solar radiation, is a general term for the electromagnetic radiation emitted by the sun. This solar radiation can be captured and converted into useful forms of energy such as electricity. When sunlight shines on a photovoltaic panel or “Solar panel”, that sunlight is converted into direct current or DC power. Since your home uses alternating current or AC power, the DC power produced by Solar panels has to be converted (or inverted) into AC power in order to use in your home. That process is called inversion and uses either a string inverter or a micro-inverter. Commercial Solar uses both “String Inverters” and “Micro-Inverters”. Both technologies have their place in the Solar energy marketplace. If you have shading on your roof from trees or buildings, micro-inverters would work best for you. If you do not have any trees casting shade on your roof, a string inverter works very well and saves you money.

BATTERY BACKUP
Commercial Solar offers battery backup options that store excess power and protect against power outages. Our solar battery backups harvests energy from your solar PV system or grid when it is the cheapest and uses energy from the battery when it is more expensive. Our batteries keep your home or business powered up when the grid is knocked out by unpredictable outages, blackouts, and natural disasters.
Net Metering
Oklahoma has net metering. Net metering simply means that when your solar panels are receiving sunlight and producing more electricity than you are currently using, your system sends the excess electricity back to the electric grid. Some electric providers buy your excess electricity for the same amount they are charging customers for electricity. This is called a 1 to 1 exchange. If your electric company is charging $.24 per kilowatt between 2 pm and 7 pm in the evenings and you send electricity to the electric company, they buy your excess energy at $.24 per kilowatt. This gives you a credit that builds up with your electric company. When the sun goes down and you begin using electricity from your provider, those credits you built up during the day offset the amount you pay for electricity in the evening. Since most providers charge more during “peak” hours when the sun is shining and less when the sun sets, those credits you earn can be 3 to 6 times as much as you pay between 7:00 pm and 2:00 pm the next day.
