Solar Electricity for Long Island Homes

Solar panels create solar electricity by converting the sun's rays into electricity. The sun provides a near infinite amount of energy; just one day of sunlight is enough to power the earth for more than a year. Long Islanders are now taking advantage of solar electric systems, placing solar panels on their rooftops to create their own electricity.

While Long Island has had solar electricity for decades, it is now more cost effective than ever. The panels used to produce solar electricity are increasingly efficient and far less expensive than in the past. Coupled with tax credits and utility rebates from LIPA, it has never been more affordable to look at solar electricity on Long Island.

How does Solar Electricity Work?

Solar electricity is produced when sunlight strikes photovoltaic cells embedded in solar panels. The solar panels are the large rectangular panels you see installed on rooftops. Within each panel are dozens or hundreds of solar pv cells. When sunlight strikes these cells, they cause electrons to be released within the cell. This creates electric current, producing electricity.

How Many Solar Electric Panels do Long Island Homes Need?

Each solar electric panel contains a number of PV cells. The number of cells and panels determines the amount of electricity you will produce. There is no one solution - the greater the number of panels and cells - and the higher quality the panels - the more electricity you will produce.
