Services
Grid-tied solar installations
Grid-tied solar systems connect to the utility grid, allowing excess energy to be sold back for credits. This solution reduces electricity bills while maintaining grid access during low production. Ideal for homes and businesses in urban and suburban areas, it ensures reliability and cost savings through net metering programs.
Off-grid solar installations
Off-grid systems provide energy independence for remote locations without grid access. Using battery storage, these systems power homes and cabins during cloudy periods. Designed for durability, they are ideal for rural properties, island communities, and emergency backup, offering quiet, fuel-free operation.
Battery backup solutions
Battery backup systems store solar energy for use during outages or at night. By disconnecting from the grid during failures, they ensure uninterrupted power for critical appliances. This service enhances energy resilience, making it perfect for homeowners seeking reliability amid rising energy costs and grid instability.
EV Fast Chargers
EV fast chargers provide rapid, efficient charging for electric vehicles using solar-powered infrastructure. Installed for residential or commercial use, these stations reduce reliance on fossil fuels while leveraging renewable energy. They integrate seamlessly with solar arrays, optimizing sustainability and reducing long-term charging costs.
Island work & remote sites
Specialized solar solutions for island and remote locations, combining off-grid systems with battery storage. These installations eliminate the need for generators, offering clean, low-maintenance power for homes, camps, and community facilities in areas like Casco Bay, ensuring energy independence and environmental stewardship.

Questions
How does a solar electric system work?
Solar panels convert sunlight into electricity via photovoltaic cells. The energy flows through inverters to power homes, with excess energy stored or fed back to the grid.
Will solar increase my home’s value?
Studies show solar installations can increase home value by 3-4% by reducing energy costs and enhancing sustainability.
Is Maine a good location for solar?
Yes. Maine’s solar potential rivals states like Massachusetts and Vermont, with efficiency gains in colder climates.
What is battery backup for solar systems?
Battery backup stores solar energy for use during power outages, ensuring continuous power from stored reserves.
How does net metering work in Maine?
Excess solar energy is fed to the grid for credits, which offset nighttime or cloudy-day energy use at a 1:1 kWh ratio.
Can I go off-grid with solar?
Yes. Off-grid systems use battery storage to provide independent power for remote homes or camps.
