Did you know that California has over 49,000 MW of installed capacity and solar supplies more than 31 percent of California’s electricity today? While most people think of solar power as sleek panels soaking up the sun, there’s much more working behind the scenes, or more accurately, on your roof.
Every Sol-Tek Solar system is designed with carefully selected components that work together to deliver maximum efficiency, reliability, and long-term energy savings. Here’s a breakdown of the key elements that make your solar system perform at its best.
1. Solar Panels – The Heart of the System
Solar panels are made up of multiple photovoltaic (PV) cells that convert sunlight into electricity. The efficiency, durability, and lifespan of your system largely depend on the quality of these panels. Sol-Tek Solar installs high-performance panels that are engineered for Central Valley conditions, built to handle intense sun exposure, dust, and temperature fluctuations, all while maintaining consistent power output for years to come.
2. Inverters – Turning Sunlight into Usable Energy
Solar panels produce direct current (DC) electricity, but your home or business uses alternating current (AC). That’s where inverters come in. They convert DC into AC so it can power your lights, appliances, and equipment. We use proven, reliable inverter technology designed for safety, efficiency, and longevity, ensuring your system runs smoothly and effectively every day.
3. Mounting Systems – Built to Last
A dependable solar installation starts with a secure foundation. Mounting systems keep your panels fixed in place, angled perfectly to capture sunlight throughout the day. Each system is customized to your roof type—whether tile, shingle, or flat—ensuring maximum performance, safety, and weather resistance for decades to come.
4. Monitoring Systems – Keeping Tabs on Your Energy
Want to see how your system performs? Modern solar setups include monitoring tools that provide data on your system’s energy production, usage, and performance trends. With user-friendly dashboards, you can track how much clean energy you’re producing and how it’s saving you money, all from your phone or computer.
5. Optional Add-Ons – Batteries and More
Are you looking for a way to get more from your home or business’s solar system? A Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) or Battery Backup System may be the solution you need!
Things to consider when choosing the best solution include:
- Your current system size
- Your electrical provider’s rate plan
- Whether you plan to expand your system in the future
As the Central Valley’s trusted solar installer, Sol-Tek Solar helps homeowners and businesses design battery-ready systems that support energy independence, grid resilience, and long-term savings.
Why Sol-Tek Solar Stands Out
Every solar system we install is custom-engineered for your property, goals, and energy needs. We focus on high-quality components, precise installation, and long-term performance. From consultation to final inspection, our team ensures your solar setup is optimized for reliability, savings, and sustainability—because at Sol-Tek Solar, we believe your energy should work as hard as you do.
