Yes, the Pacific Northwest’s summer days are long enough to produce a healthy amount of solar energy. Great utility net metering programs make solar installations beneficial. Your solar system can build energy in the summer, and your net metering system will offset them in the shadier months.

Your system will keep working on cloudier days too, collecting scattered light and focusing it into energy. It’s true that we don’t produce as much power as the southern regions, but we still generate enough to make solar panel installation a financially smart solution. 

Your solar panel installation and additional solar system installation will require very little maintenance. There are a few minor things we suggest such as cleaning the panels once a year and keeping an eye on your system’s production. Removing debris such as dirt, leaves, and pollen can boost your system’s performance, and spotting significant changes in output can lead to detecting issues early. 

In most cases, your solar system will go out if the power goes out. To speak to a specialist regarding a generator, call Banner Power Solutions today.

The best way to determine if your property is ideal for solar is to call our Banner Power Solutions team to request a free quote. We will visit your property, conduct a preliminary site analysis using aerial imagery, and help you determine if your site is well-suited for solar panel installation. 

The guidelines will differ based on a few factors, including your home's orientation, the amount of shade it receives, and any obstructions blocking the sun. Let's discuss each factor.

• South, West, or East-Facing Orientation: The consistent rule of thumb is that the more south-facing the surface, the more energy the system will produce.

• Minimal Shading: Consider the amount of shading from nearby obstructions that may impact your system’s production. 

• Minimal Obstructions and Surface Area: Look for adjacent taller buildings or trees that may shade the system. How much usable roof or ground space do you have? The clearer the space, the better we can work around vent pipes, chimneys, and skylights.

An automatic backup generator is an electrical system that serves as a backup power source, operating on natural gas or propane. In the event of a power outage, it promptly and automatically supplies power to the essential loads on your property. Once the utility power is restored, the generator will shut itself off, remaining prepared for the next power interruption.
