New Solar Panel Technology: Trends in 2022

Written by Solar Solution AZ on . Posted in Solar Innovations.

Solar power is a widely accepted form of energy that continues to take the nation by storm. Although the pandemic slowed the industry’s growth by 38%, with employee declines from roughly 302,000 to 188,000 workers, 2021’s 30% production increase quickly brought solar power close to its former glory. 

Stepping into 2022, the solar industry decided that new solar panel technology is key to future growth along with worker population increases. Solar Solution AZ, your go-to company for residential solar installation in Arizona, not only uses these new technologies but plans to incorporate future tech in the pipeline. 

Solar Skins

While solar power utilizes the sun’s rays and reduces utility bills, many Arizona residents find the heavy, black rectangles on rooftops overwhelming. They’re aesthetically displeasing and the first thing passersby notice, especially when resting against light-colored roofs. 

Solar skins effectively improve the look of solar panels with thin films similar to ad wraps. These films sit over panels, hiding their generic appearance beneath a custom one of your choosing. While some homeowners match the skins to their rooftop for an unnoticeable appearance, business owners upload their logo or project their business name from an aerial view. 

These rail-less racking components also have a high filtration level. They allow sunlight to reach underlying solar cells for optimal solar energy. Despite the 10% solar installation cost increase, these elements may be the visual improvements you’ve been waiting on. 

Building-Integrated Photovoltaics

Building-Integrated Photovoltaics, or BIPV solar power technology, is another way to go if you want all the perks of solar energy without it being an eyesore. Think beyond typical rooftop additions and consider effortlessly incorporating the panels into other areas of your structure’s exterior. These areas may include:

  • Curtains, canopies, and sunshades
  • Roofs, sunroofs, and walls
  • Terrace floors and balconies
  • Facades
  • Windows 

This new solar panel technology blends into the architecture, complementing the structure’s design. It also saves you money since you’re opting for solar equipment over standard building material.

Since contractors integrate this sound and thermal insulating option into the structure during construction, include it in the original blueprints rather than as an add-on.

Silicon Recycling

To many homeowners, it’s not simply about solar energy production and appearance but what to do with them so that they don’t end up in a landfill once they’ve run their course. Currently, 95% of all panels consist of recyclable silicon solar technology. Furthermore, 100% recyclable PERC solar cells are in the pipeline. 

As new solar panel technology evolves further, silicone recycling will reduce waste and provide more raw materials for manufacturing.

solar powered tiny house

Five Reasons Why a Solar-Powered Tiny House Is a Good Idea

Written by Solar Solution AZ on . Posted in Solar Innovations.

Tiny homes are affordable, cost-efficient housing for people who don’t need too much extra space. This fad swept the nation many years ago and, despite all odds, has remained a popular choice for home builders. But what if you combined a tiny home with solar power?

A solar-powered tiny house is the pinnacle of efficient building and engineering mastery. Here are five reasons why a solar-powered tiny house is a good investment. As an expert residential solar installation company in Arizona, we know a thing or two about good investments.

1. Financial Savings

First off, tiny homes are relatively cheap to build. Since they are much smaller, they have low power consumption and cooling and heating costs. 

You may even reduce your energy costs totally, giving you free power. No matter how you slice it, saving money is a significant part of any decision. If you’re looking to save money, consider a tiny house.

2. Reduced Carbon Footprint

Lower power consumption means a reduced carbon footprint. If you’re conscious about the environment and want to do as much as you can to save it, a solar-powered tiny house is a good idea for you.

Because of the reduced building materials, you save trees and have fewer harmful chemicals in the environment. Solar panels also dramatically red the energy you draw from the power grid.

3. Reliable Energy Production

The primary benefit of solar panels on your tiny home is the ability to power your home, even if the power grid goes down. Solar panels provide the best home backup power source and keep you running even during the worst storms or outages. The only time you’ll lose power is when the sun dies, and that’s not likely to happen for a while.

4. Ultimate Freedom

Tiny homes are very receptive to off-grid systems. In fact, a solar-powered tiny house is the ultimate off-grid housing situation for those who don’t want to live in a camper.

You can mount wheels to the bottom of your tiny home and drive all around creation, going to see sights and live in places you’ve always wanted. Your only limitation is water, unless you have a houseboat!

5. Increased Home Value

Tiny homes are trendy and often sell for the same price as an average-size home. Imagine how much they’ll sell for when they have solar panels. People will always pay for something new and different!

Outfit Your Tiny Home with Solar Panels

If you’re looking for a cost-effective solution for your housing needs, you should consider building or investing in a solar-powered tiny house. There is genuinely no other home like it.

solar energy myths

Debunking Popular Solar Energy Myths and Presenting the Facts

Written by Solar Solution AZ on . Posted in Solar Innovations.

Solar energy panels are still relatively new, although we have years of solar power research. Unfortunately, several myths spreading across the internet hinder homeowners from taking advantage of energy savings. 

Don’t let incorrect data mislead you. Contact us for solar panel installation in Arizona by Solar Solution AZ, and let us debunk those solar energy myths. 

Myth 1: Solar Panels Only Work in Certain Climates

Solar panels collect energy from the sun and create light energy, which they use to convert to electricity. Since solar panels collect power from the sun, they can work in nearly any climate and temperature, even in freezing, cloudy weather. While direct sunlight for solar panels ensures optimal energy collection, they remain effective as long as there is sunlight, even in less than ideal conditions.

Myth 2: They’re Loud

There are no mechanical parts in solar panels. No mechanical parts mean very little between gathering the energy and converting it to electricity, making it an extremely efficient process. Additionally, no mechanical parts also mean no noise.  

Myth 3: They Only Work During the Day

One of the most common solar energy myths is that solar panels only work when the sun is out.

Solar panel users remain hooked to the city’s power grid for power at night and during blackouts. In addition, battery backups allow solar panel users to store energy for nighttime use. Another battery backup benefit is that the city credits homeowners for excess energy produced and stored. 

Myth 4: Solar Panel Installation Reduces Curb Appeal

Modern solar panels no longer distract or diminish your home’s appearance. Modern panels are thin and sleek with nearly invisible wiring. Panels typically consist of silicon, metal, and glass, so they are non-toxic and recyclable. 

Myth 5: They Require a Lot of Maintenance

This is another popular solar myth.

Contractors place solar panels on the roof at an angle for efficient energy gathering. This angle prevents dirt, debris, and rain buildup, which means little to no cleanup required by homeowners.

No mechanical parts also mean little to no maintenance required by technicians. Once placed, solar panels are safe for your roof and require minimal follow-up. 

Myth 6: They Are Too Expensive

Solar power is an investment. However, it is an investment that pays for itself within the first three to six years.

Solar panels pay for themselves with the monthly amount saved by homeowners on energy. Solar panels also add to a home’s resale value because potential homebuyers see it as an improvement they don’t have to invest in. On average, homes with solar panels see a 17% increase in value.

While not every state offers incentives for switching to solar, the federal government does offer one, regardless of the state you live in. Talk to a professional to find out what incentives you qualify for to make the most of your investment.

Support a Healthier Planet with These 8 Environmentally Friendly Home Features

Written by Solar Solution on . Posted in Solar Innovations.

In honor of Earth Day, we’ve rounded up the best environmentally friendly home improvements that will positively impact the health of your home and the planet.

On April 22 we celebrated Earth Day, to raise awareness for environmentally friendly measures to help preserve the planet we call home.

We think that action should begin in our actual homes by creating eco-conscious environments that not only support our families and lifestyles but protect our larger surroundings, rather than contribute to their demise. “Many green investments help save the planet, but they can also save you money over time as you spend less on energy or water,” said Redfin chief economist Daryl Fairweather. “Even if you decide to sell your home in a few years, potential buyers may be willing to pay more for your home if they know that their energy or water bill will be less than the home next door.”

How we build our homes impacts the health of everything around us. They can be costly to maintain and emit substantial waste. Green initiatives, however, can offset those consequences by using fewer resources. Some are simple swaps while others are long-term investments that will ultimately save both money and valuable resources.

Read on to get started with eight ways to transform your home to be environmentally friendly, with insight from Redfin experts.

  1. Use sustainable, locally-sourced materials whenever possible. This eco-friendly practice uses resources that are abundant in a given region, such as stone, wood, and other natural materials. Other methods include re-purposing and recycling products and reclaimed wood and furniture that previously served another purpose. Many architects and contractors use this process in construction to reduce waste and construct homes with a stronger conscience.
  2. Invest in energy-efficient appliances. If you’re looking to buy a home, look for Energy Star certifications, which indicate a home, or the appliances within the home, meet standards set by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). These can include energy-efficient appliances designed to require less electricity in the kitchen, as well as HD TVs, heating and cooling devices, and doors and windows. Also known as smart home technology, these amenities include thermostats like the popular Nest system, which enables homeowners to create an environmentally friendly (and budget-friendly) ecosystem that conserves energy for heating, cooling, and lighting.
  3. Consider powering your home with solar panels. Solar panels tap the energy of the sun as an inexpensive way to boost a home’s energy earning and saving potential. Once the initial investment in panels is made, the power of the sun is quite literally free and can be harnessed to supply the home when you need it most. Adds Redfin agent Paul Reid, “Tech that helps your home use energy more efficiently is more likely to enhance your home’s value. A fully interconnected solar panel system that generates power to backup batteries has a very real and direct impact.” In addition to powering your home, the sun can also heat it. Solar thermal systems can heat water (or glycol in cold climates) for showers and bathing, as well as doing dishes and other household activities. Using a solar thermal system is ideal for conservation, as they tend to save owners between 60 to 70 percent a year on heating and utility bills.
  4. Use an electric car and install a port to charge it at home. Did you know that if you own an electric car and charge it at home, the cost to run your car over a year can be less than operating your air conditioner? That’s pretty cool stuff. Also cool is knowing that residential charging is convenient, inexpensive, and saves energy from not having to go back and forth to public charging stations. “Electric cars are better for the environment than traditional cars because they don’t emit harmful exhaust fumes that contain carbon monoxide,” said Fairweather. “And you get bonus green points for charging your electric car in your home using electricity from a renewable source like solar panels.”
  5. Heat and cool your home efficiently. When heating or cooling your home, it’s easy to let the energy go to waste. Poor insulation is often the core factor in determining whether environmentally friendly heating and cooling choices have an impact. Insulation reduces energy expenditure by containing the elements needed to make a home comfortable. Some windows reflect UV rays and heat to keep homes cooler but not darker–like SPF for the house! “I installed tints on the windows of my home,” said Fairweather. “In the summer months, it really makes a difference when the sun is beating down. There isn’t nearly as much glare and it keeps the house cooler too.” You can also save on heating costs by heating only the rooms you use instead of the whole house. “My home was built in the 1950s and originally had an oil heater,” continued Fairweather. “We replaced that dirty heating system with mini-split electric heat pumps that have temperature control for each room. The carbon impact from electric heat is less than oil, and we are able to use less energy because we only heat the bedrooms at night and aren’t wasting energy heating empty rooms.”
  6. Conserve more water. While droughts are most prevalent in certain areas, water is still a precious resource we all need. Investing in water conservation tools helps protect it, and will save money if you plan on gardening in summer. Smart irrigation systems are tailored down to soil and light conditions and may even know to prepare for impending inclement weather.
  7. Look for LEED certification. LEED, or, Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, means that a building is certified by the U.S. Green Building Council as built using efficient, sustainable materials. If you’re considering buying a new construction home, look to work with architects and contractors who specialize in environmentally friendly LEED buildings. A global symbol of sustainability, holding the certification may a higher resale value, while also supporting healthier and cost-efficient living.
  8. Replace traditional bulbs with more efficient lighting. LED stands for light-emitting diode and is a smart way to light your home. Highly energy efficient, they have a longer lifespan than traditional bulbs, delivering anywhere from 20,000 to 50,000 hours. Because they are replaced less frequently, they can lower your carbon footprint while saving cash. And of course, there’s always natural light, which is gorgeous and free.

Written by Solar Solution on . Posted in Solar Innovations.

An ever-increasing number of people, including individuals from all walks of life and of all ages, are
becoming more aware of the importance of expanding the use of alternate energy resources. This
includes the use of solar energy, including that generated by large solar farms in the United States
and elsewhere around the world.
If you are also like a growing number of people, your interest in the operation of solar energy
farms may have peaked in recent years. You keep reading, seeing, and hearing about them, but
you have at least some desire to see a solar farm operation up close and personal.
If that describes you, and you are also in the process of planning a trip that will bring you into
proximity to a solar farm, consider a tour. The reality is that you, and your family, are very likely
to find a solar energy farm highly interesting and educational. You are certain to come away
from the experience with a greatly enhanced appreciation of the ins and outs associated with solar
energy.

Solar Star Farm, Rosamond, California
Solar Star Farm is one of the newest operations in the world, going online in 2015. Being one of
the newest farms in operation, it is the largest in the world when it comes to capacity.
The farm generates 579 megawatts.
One of the unique features of Solar Star Farm is found in its highly efficient use of what are known
as solar photovoltaic cells. These cells have a unique sun tracking system. As a result, Solar Star
uses less than 20 percent of the number of solar photovoltaic cells found in the facility that
produces the second-highest amount of energy.

Topaz Solar Farm, San Luis Obispo County, California
Topaz Solar Farm is massive. It spans almost 10 square miles and consists of 9 million solar
modules.
An interesting fact associated with Topaz Solar Farm involves its owner. Topaz Solar Farm is owned
by Berkshire Hathaway, Warren Buffet’s company. Buffet is considered one of the most ingenious
investors in the world, a man who recognizes market trends. Many in the industry believe Buffet’s
heavy investment in solar energy bodes well for the future of this energy source.

Desert Sunlight Solar Farm, Desert Center, California
Desert Sunlight Solar Farm is only slightly smaller than Topaz. Desert Sunlight Solar Farm consists
of 8.8 million solar modules situated on just over 6 square miles.
If you want to visit a solar farm as part of your travels, and if your trip will take you anywhere near
this facility, Desert Sunlight Solar Farm is the perfect destination to learn more about this type of
energy source and production. Desert Sunlight Solar Farm maintains an on-site Solar Energy
Learning Center.

Caliente Solar Project is that it is remotely controlled by First Solar, from its Operations Center.

The remote operation of the Agua Caliente Solar Project is underscoring the potential solar energy
facilities have for the future. This includes the possible placement of solar farms not only on but
also above the Earth.
Agua Caliente Solar Project has been recognized for its various innovations. The facility has won
the Global Plant of the Year award by Intersolar America and the Top Plant Award from Solar by
Power Magazine, receiving both important designations in 2014.
Arranging a Solar Farm Tour
Many people do just present themselves at solar farms in order to visit and tour a facility.
Nonetheless, as you work on planning your trip, take the time to schedule a solar farm tour that
will be within the range of your travels. If children will be traveling with you, let the facility know of
that when you make a reservation. The reality is that many solar farms maintain unique
programming for school-age children that visit their facilities. As a general rule, solar farms do not
charge for tours. In addition, they oftentimes do offer items for sale following a tour, including
shirts and other mementos of a visit.

Best Energy Saving Tips for the Holidays

Written by Solar Solution on . Posted in Solar Innovations.

The holidays are a special time of year for many people who look forward to celebrating the season by sharing gifts and spending time with loved ones. Unfortunately, it is also a time when energy bills can vastly soar. By putting energy savings at the top of your Christmas list this year you can lower your consumption costs and truly enjoy the holiday season. Here are a few helpful tips on how to avoid high energy bills this Christmas season.

Tip # 1 Prepare in Advance
Homeowners can begin planning their energy efficiency well in advance by getting their homes inspected prior to the holidays. A trained professional can conduct a full audit and inspection of the home’s use of energy. For instance, they can reveal areas of the home where air may be leaking such as from old windows or from insulation levels that have depleted. By addressing these areas prior to the holidays you can keep your energy bill in check and witness cost savings throughout the following year.

Tip #2 Switch All Lights to LED
Another excellent way to reduce your energy bills this holiday season is to invest in LED lighting. LED lights are much more energy-efficient than traditional incandescent lighting. In many homes, Christmas lights are not only on the tree, but they are on the mantle as well as outside of the home. By installing LED Christmas lights, you will use up to 80% less energy when compared to traditional lighting. These are some excellent cost savings indeed!

Tip #3 Unplug Unused Items
An alternative way to save on Christmas lighting is to turn them off when not in use. For instance, turn them off when you know you will be away from home or while the family is sleeping. This will reduce their overall energy draw and it will save you money in the long run. Christmas lights can further be put on a timer and programmed to shut off automatically just in case you forget. Another great way to save on Christmas lighting is to use battery-operated candles as a way to not only keep in line with the holiday spirit but to save on your energy bill.

Tip #4 Wise Use of Kitchen Appliances
The holidays are also a time for meal prep and Christmas parties. As such, it is inevitable that a lot of time will be spent in the kitchen. To save energy in the kitchen, consider your use of appliances. For instance, monitor how often the refrigerator door is opened and closed and try to keep frequently used items like drinks on a nearby counter. For instance, a cooler filled with ice can be used so that guests do not have to go in and out of the refrigerator as often. Another tip is to consider using the dishwasher instead of hand washing dishes. Hand washing uses more water than the dishwasher, but let your dishes air-dry instead of heating them dry in the dishwasher—this can help you further save on energy. Lastly, consider using the microwave or slow cooker as much as possible as they will help you cut back on electricity as compared to conventional ovens which use more electricity.

Tip #5 Monitor the Thermostat
Last but not least, when it gets colder outdoors you are bound to turn up your thermostat. However, this also means that you’ll have additional energy costs to match. Consider turning down your thermostat to as low as comfortable during the holiday season. Also, consider turning down the thermostat when visitors are over or while preparing meals. The additional guests as well as the warmth from the kitchen will automatically warm up the home. Furthermore, if you want to treat yourself to a gift this year, now is a great time to install a smart, programmable thermostat that can help efficiently regulate your home’s heat usage, ensuring you cost savings on your heating bill.

Tip#6 Look into Renewable Energy

Home solar power and other forms of renewable energy have an awesome potential to reduce what you spend on electricity. Most residential solar customers save over 30% off their energy bills immediately without making any changes in their lifestyle. This is because solar power is roughly one-third the cost of traditional grid electricity. We recommend looking into solar power once you have reduced your electric consumption through all the other methods listed, slashing your electric bills even further. Solar energy is the single greatest step you can take to reduce what you spend on electricity.

So, while the winter holiday season may be in full swing there is no reason for energy bills to take away from this festive time of year. Make conservation of energy a part of your New Year’s resolution and commit to reducing your energy consumption. Your wallet will thank you and you will also have minimal impact on the environment. Give us a call today and see why solar is an essential part of an efficient home (520) 858-0220

Do Solar Panels Protect or Cool My Roof?

Written by Solar Solution on . Posted in Solar Innovations, Solar Panel Basics.

Anyone who lives in Arizona knows that the power of the sun is no joke!

From sunburns to faded car seats, the sun-rays seem to harm everything they touch. You can even fry an egg on the sidewalk in July for Pete’s sake!

Your house is no different. The hot summer sun leaves its mark on your house and your pocketbook every single year! Your roof and A/C system take the brunt of the beating; keeping the sun off of you and keeping you cool.

Most people know by now that solar panels can save you money on your electric bills. What most people don’t realize though is that a quality rooftop solar panel system can significantly extend the life of your A/C and roof! Especially in Arizona, where your roof can get to be over 170 degrees Fahrenheit in the summer!

This works because solar sits above your roof by about 6-8 inches. The solar panels cast shade over most of your roof and keep the direct sunlight off of the roof surface itself.

This shading effect can reduce surface roof temperatures by as much as 40 degrees and extend the life of your roof by up to 80%! The cooler roof temperatures also translate to being cooler inside your house, this can reduce the strain on your A/C system; making it last longer. This is one of the most overlooked benefits of rooftop solar power.

The benefits of solar just start with your electric bill, to find out more about how solar can benefit you, give us a call at (520) 858-0220 today!

Are Solar Panels Safe for my Roof?

Written by Solar Solution on . Posted in Solar Innovations, Solar Panel Basics.

“Are solar panels safe for my roof? Can solar damage my roof? Are there any risks to my roof with solar panels? Is there a safe way to install solar on my roof?”

You don’t need me to tell you that your roof is important, and I definitely don’t need to tell you that roofing work can be expensive. In fact, major roofing work can get into the tens of thousands.

What you may not realize though, is that there is a whole catalog of options when it comes to anchoring your home solar panels to your roof. There are so many options for roof anchoring because each offers a particular set of strengths and weaknesses. It is very important to choose the right roof anchor for your roof type/climate. A rood mount that works very well in the snows of Washington will not be very well suited for the heat of Arizona, and the same goes for the other way around.

Choosing the right roof anchoring equipment for yourself can be a daunting task; especially when most solar power installation companies are not transparent about the type of anchoring equipment/install procedure they use.

Arizona has one of the most unique and harsh climates in the United States. This means that our rooftop solar mounts have to be just as unique and rugged as the climate.

At Solar Solution AZ, we only focus our efforts in Tucson locally. We have over 1,500 rooftop solar installations in Southern Arizona, and we have developed a triple-sealed procedure around a top-of-the-line Unirac mounting system that we are proud to bring to the Tucson valley.

For Flat/Coated or Shingled roofs:

We start with an all-aluminum standoff, apply sealant to the bottom, and secure with two GRK studs into the truss.

Next, we apply sealant to the bottom of a metal flashing and install it over the top of the standoff.

After that, we nail the flashing to the roof, apply sealant around the edges and reinforce with fiberglass tape.

Lastly, we apply more sealant on top of that to ensure a tight seal.

On Shingle roofs, we then lay the shingles back on top of the flashing.

For Tile roofs:

We start with an all-aluminum standoff, apply sealant to the bottom, and secure with two GRK studs into the truss.

Next, we apply sealant to the bottom of a metal flashing and install it over the top of the standoff.

Then we lay the tiles back over top, maintaining the original design intent of the roof.

Please see these videos for more info:

This revolutionary procedure for Tucson homes has allowed us to offer a 25-year guarantee against leaking on all permanent style roofs (Tile, Shingle, etc…) and a 4-year guarantee on all maintained roofs (Rolled, elastomer coated, etc…) that can be extended up to 25 years so long as all proper maintenance has been performed. This is by far the longest guarantee available.

Make sure your rooftop solar installer offers a strong roof guarantee. Call us today to find out more at (520) 858-0220

Will Solar Panels Work For My Manufactured/Mobile Home?

Written by Solar Solution on . Posted in Solar Innovations, Solar Programs.

Solar Panel Systems have become increasingly popular in Tucson over the last few years, and it is pretty easy to see why. No money down financing, home equity boosts, and upfront savings from my electric bill? Where do I sign up?

Electric customers that are living in Manufactured or Mobile homes have been all but left out of this scramble for savings. Most solar installers neglect these homeowners simply because they haven’t done the proper engineering, or because their financing doesn’t allow for Manufactured homes. Even the installers that would work with these homeowners only typically offer more expensive ground mount set-ups, avoiding the roof of the Manufactured home.

At Solar Solution AZ, our mission is to better the community in any way possible, and to further that goal, we now offer solar programs that work with Manufactured homes!

There are a few factors we need to look at, however, to make sure that these programs will work for you:

  • Must be the Home Owner
  • Must be connected to APS, TEP, TRICO, UniSource, ED3, or SSVEC electric grids
  • When roof-mounted, must be Double-Wides built after 1980
  • If on a standalone structure, instead of the roof, you must be the land-owner

If those sound like you, then we have a solar program that can start saving you money in month one!

The average savings a customer of ours would see on a manufactured home is roughly $70,000 over 25 years and over 20% less the very first month!

This is dependent upon your local utility programs, for more information, check out our other solar articles.

Start letting the electric company and the sun work for you! Give us a call at (520) 858-0220 today to see if solar will work for you and your home!
