Solar Energy on Long Island

You can now produce your own electricity with a solar energy system. When the sun emits sunlight, particles called "photons" are sent at the speed of light. The photons produce solar electricity when they strike your solar energy system - made of solar panels and photovoltaic cells. When the photons hit, they cause electrons (which make up electricity) to be released from the solar cells. These electrons are captured and harnessed to create electric current, which is fed back into your house - or back to your power company - as cleanly produced solar energy.

Solar Energy Produced by Solar Panels

Solar panels, which include dozens or hundreds of solar photovoltaic cells, automatically convert the sun's rays into electricity. There are no moving parts, with virtually no maintenance required. The sun provides all of the power, and the solar panels on your roof convert the solar energy into electricity.

Long Island has used solar energy for decades, the systems are more efficient than ever. Only two percent of people take advantage of solar energy. Compare this to China where more than 100 million people use solar power every day to produce electricity and hot water, and you see the potential.

Long Island Solar Energy for Your Home

By capturing the sunlight that already strikes your home's rooftop, you are literally generating your own power. The solar energy from the sun, that reaches your home every day, can easily meet most of your electric needs (of course, you still need power at night). Emmy Energy installs clean solar energy systems in homes across Long Island, allowing you to capture that energy that is hitting your rooftop, right now, and is being wasted today.

Solar Energy Reduces Greenhouse Gases

As oil continues to pollute our world and foreign oil compromises our security, reducing the demands on oil. Greenhouse gases - CO2 - continue to pollute the atmosphere and cause global warming. By producing your own solar energy with solar panels, you receive electricity produced without a CO2 byproduct, making a real tangible contribution to our environment.

How Much Solar Energy Can You Produce on Long Island?

The configuration of your solar energy system will dictate the power you produce. The number and types of panels, the positioning of the panels, nearby tree cover and other factors go into determining your potential output. At Emmy Energy, we will send the experts to your home to provide an assessment, letting you know how much solar energy you can produce.
