You may be considering the option of adding a solar energy system to your home’s roof or finding another way to harness the sun’s energy. While there’s no one-size-fits-all solar solution, here are some resources that can help you figure out what’s best for you. Consider these questions before you go solar.

Learn solar energy technology basics: solar radiation, photovoltaics (PV), concentrating solar-thermal power (CSP), grid integration, and soft costs.
Solar technologies convert sunlight into electrical energy either through photovoltaic (PV) panels or through mirrors that concentrate solar radiation. Learn how this energy can be used to generate electricity.
Learn more about grid-connected home energy systems. Purchasing a solar energy system is a good option if one or more of the following apply to you: You want to purchase a solar energy system to install at your home; You are eligible for state or federal investment tax credits
Learn the basics of how photovoltaic (PV) technology works with these resources from the DOE Solar Energy Technologies Office.
So you’re thinking about joining the 3 million U.S. homeowners who have gone solar. Solar energy will help you save on your monthly electricity bills and combat climate change, but what needs to happen to get those solar panels on your roof?
Photovoltaic (PV) technologies – more commonly known as solar panels – generate power using devices that absorb energy from sunlight and convert it into electrical energy through semiconducting materials.
The Solar Futures Study is a U.S Department of Energy report that explores the role of solar energy in achieving the goals of a decarbonized grid by 2035 and a decarbonized energy system by 2050.
Sometimes energy storage is co-located with, or placed next to, a solar energy system, and sometimes the storage system stands alone, but in either configuration, it can help more effectively integrate solar into the energy landscape. What Is Energy Storage?
Learn the basics of how solar energy technologies integrate with electrical grid systems through these resources from the DOE Solar Energy Office.
