Overview

Lamb Energy's solar photovoltaic (PV) systems allow customers to turn sunlight into electricity.  Solar PV systems have been used as a reliable source of electricity generation for over 30 years.  Once installed, the systems require virtually no maintenance and provide reliable power for well over 25 years.  To learn more about the process of turning sunlight into usable electricity, please visit the National Renewable Energy Laboratory's (NREL) website.

Those businesses and government agencies that install solar PV systems often enter into a net metering agreement with their local utility.  When the PV system is producing more electricity than is being used, the client's utility meter spins backwards and the client receives credit for the electricity being distributed back into the grid.  Under this agreement, the customer can eliminate all or a portion of its monthly electric bill.  With steadily increasing electricity rates, the avoided cost of electricity results in an attractive return on investment.

Solar electricity systems produce zero carbon emissions.  Electricity produced from coal and natural gas produces 2.10 and 1.32 pounds of carbon emissions per kilowatt-hour, respectively.  These carbon emissions are eliminated by using clean solar power.
