What are the benefits of Solar Independence?

With rooftop solar panels, you won’t have to draw electricity from the grid as often, which can lower your bills.

Thanks to the sun, your solar panels create 100% clean energy for your home so you can avoid the carbon emissions created by traditional energy sources.

Whenever your solar panels create more electricity than your home can use, you can send it to the electricity grid and earn bill credits.
