Addy Solar & Electric introduced the solar solution to the Redding area in 2012. Since then, we've installed hundreds of systems across Northern California as more people have started using sunlight the way it was designed-to power your life. Over the past seven years, Addy Solar & Electric has expanded from the Redding area into Red Bluff, Weed, and the East Bay. Our custom-designed solar systems have become known for being the best in the business, whether you're a residential or commercial client.
Energy storage is when solar batteries store your solar panel energy for later use. With these new battery technologies, you'll have stored energy that can power your house whenever you'd like, like during a utility outage or during the evenings when your solar panels aren't producing energy. With energy storage, your solar panel system becomes self-sufficient so you don't have to rely on PG&E or the utility company. You'll likely be able to live completely off your own power. Also, if the grid were to ever go down, energy storage allows you to still have power accessible to your house.
You've seen the panels, right? The ones on someone else's roof? And have you ever thought, "I wonder what they pay" or, "does it actually work"? Or how about these: "it's probably a hassle" or, "yeah, those are for THOSE kinds of people". You're not alone. On this page, we'll be exploring all things residential solar: What it is, why it is, how it works, and what it takes to get the free energy from the outside into the outlet. Where do we begin? In the beginning. You know, the reason that there's light or energy at all.
Ever since you started your business, you've paid the electric company whatever they're charging to ensure that your power is on when you need it most. Until recently, this has been the way the local business has been powered; moving along from energy bill to energy bill, hoping that what you are paying is the lowest you can possibly pay. But is this true? Solar energy used to be an energy alternative that appealed to the hippie, non-conformist that believed in a greener, cleaner world. While this demographic has not given up on such an endeavor, solar has broadened its reach to the business owner that simply wants a lower electric bill.
Residential maintenance is completed on a case-by-case basis. If your system were to go offline, our tech team will come onsite to do an investigation to identify the problem and make the proper repair. Solar panels very rarely fail, so if maintenance is necessary, it's typically due to the inverter or optimizers. Commercial systems typically have large central inverters with suggested annual maintenance, such as filter cleaning. Along with this maintenance service, we can address any malfunctions that may happen with components such as weather stations, system communications, and trackers.
