Solar Photovoltaics are not a new energy generating concept, in fact, it has been around for many years. Solar energy is generated from solar photovoltaic cells is created by employing solar panels composed of several cells that contain photovoltaic material. The cells exhibit "the photovoltaic effect," which essentially is the creation of a voltage, or electricity, as the a result of exposure to light. Even in the cloudiest of climates, this effective renewable resource can cover almost all of your electricity needs!

Solar Photovoltaic panels have excellent residential applications that can offer dramatic returns on your initial installation investment. For example panels can be installed on home roofs, on and over decks, or can stand alone.

It is a great time to install a Solar Photovoltaic (PV) system due to the current Federal Tax Credit, New York State Tax Credit and NYSERDA incentives. The assumption that New York does not receive any sun is incorrect when it comes to generating electricity via solar panels. Solar arrays designed and installed correctly in Upstate New York operate just as efficiently as any other geographic location.

There are several variables to determine the ideal system size, design, output and overall cost. A.C.E.S has advanced hardware and computer software to model each unique installation. A site consultation and shading analysis will determine the ideal placement, the annual electricity generation and your return on investment. We have developed several affordable packages for our residential customers, please contact us to schedule a site consultation. . Solar panels do not need to be placed on your roof. They can be placed on almost any structure or as a pole-mount in your yard. A.C.E.S has the ability to process NYSERA incentive applications, reducing the overall cost of the project for our customers.
