Abundant Solar

At Abundant Solar, our job is to put the power to harvest solar energy in the hands of homeowners and businesses. Today, solar electric systems are more affordable than ever, thanks to state and federal tax credits, utility rebates, and net metering laws that allow consumers to sell excess power back to the grid. Your solar electric system will provide a clean and stable, low maintenance source of energy for many years into the future, while offsetting your use of traditional greenhouse gas-emitting energy sources, such as coal and natural gas.

Abundant Solar is proud to offer solar electric systems built with the highest quality components available. Our systems are custom designed to meet the specific aesthetic, space and performance goals set out by our clients. While other contractors use pre-fabricated "power panels", we design and build our systems at the job site to fit each specific situation. Thanks for such a fine job. You have truly been the best contractor I have worked with, and the solar work looks great and already is running great.

A solar system that produces power that is fed into your electrical system and used on location or sold back to the utility grid. A grid-tied system with the addition of a small battery bank to supply power during outages. A solar system that charges batteries to provide all of the power needs of a particular building.

System prices vary widely depending on module selection, type of system (grid-tied, off-grid, or battery back-up), and mounting method (roof, ground, or pole mount). For example, while Panasonic or LG modules are the more efficient, they are also the more expensive. Solarworld modules are less efficient, and also cost less. If you have a large area to install the system, you can use less efficient modules. However, if your optimum solar roof space is limited, you may need higher efficiency Panasonic or LG modules which allow you to fit more watts of solar into a smaller space.

If your looking for back-up power from your solar system during a power outage, batteries are required. Batteries have come a long way since the days of off-grid deep-cycle cells powering a cabin in the woods. With Lithium ion, Lithium Iron Phosphate and variations of sealed lead-acid, there are a lot of options. Lithium Ferrous Phosphate batteries have many of the same attractive features of Lithium Ion (common in cell phones and laptops) batteries without the explosion risk. LiFePO4 batteries can be fully discharged without damage, have much longer life than Lead Acid batteries, hold a charge for long periods of time without use and recharge quickly.
