A solar PV system offers the potential to reduce your household electricity bills. It''s also a major step in the transition away from fossil fuels. A battery can store energy for use when your solar panels are not generating enough electricity (such as at night or when it is cloudy), or at times when electricity costs more.
The Fraunhofer Center for Sustainable Energy Systems (CSE) will develop a new plug-and-play PV system that self-checks for proper installation and safety and communicates with the local utility and local jurisdiction to request permission to feed power into its smart meter. The utility and locality will remotely grant permission to the system ...
Buying a solar energy system will likely increase your home''s value.
