Solar Photovoltaics is not a new energy generating concept, in fact, it has been around for many years. Solar energy is generated from solar photovoltaic cells 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 voltage, or electricity, as 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.

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 NYSERDA incentive applications, reducing the overall cost of the project for our customers.

To see some of the many examples of applications that A.C.E.S has been involved with, please visit our Solar Application page.
