SUNBEAM INNOVATIONS
Many homeowners worry that Massachusetts' cloudy days and snowy winters make solar inefficient. However, solar engineers measure viability in "peak sun hours"—the specific time of day when solar intensity reaches 1,000 watts per square meter.
Massachusetts receives an average of 4 to 4.5 peak sun hours per day. While lower than southwestern states, it is more than enough to offset 100% of a home's electricity usage when the system is correctly engineered. Solar panels generate power based on UV light, not heat, and actually produce higher voltage in cold temperatures.
When snow falls in Massachusetts, the highly reflective white surface of the ground creates the "albedo effect," bouncing extra sunlight onto your panels and boosting production on cold, crisp winter days after the panels have shed the snow.
Our engineers will build a custom solar blueprint engineered for your operation — backed by 30-year linear warranties and Tier-1 equipment.
