Who doesn’t want a new lower and locked in power bill? By going solar, you start saving immediately by producing your own power. This means you no longer are a slave to the expensive, increasing rates from your utility company. Solar energy is cheaper and more efficient than electricity you currently buy from the utility company.

As soon as you flip the switch, you begin producing your own power. Any excess power your home doesn’t use will be sent back to your utility company. Your electric meter will run backwards. You will feed excess energy to the utility company during the day and then receive it back during the nighttime, at no cost.

Excess energy produced by your solar panels during the day is sent to the utility grid. You receive the power back at night after the sun has gone down. Palmetto Direct is also very excited to offer battery options for customers who would like to store some of their own energy as well.

Solar panels require very little maintenance. You don’t even have to wash your panels. Normally natural patterns of wind and rainfall will do most of the work. Each customer also receives a 25-year manufacturer warranty and production guarantee, as well as an industry-leading 10-year workmanship warranty.

If the power goes out in your area, systems tied to the grid go out as well. It’s not safe to send power into the grid when workers are attempting to fix a power outage problem. Adding a home battery can give you a limited amount of power to specific items within your home.

You will receive one bill from your utility company and you will receive one bill for your solar panels. Your new combined bill to be much less than you’re currently paying for your energy.
