Solar Energy Equipment

Residential Solar System Equipment

You might be wondering, which solar panels are the best? The honest answer is that it depends. When designing your solar system, our team of experts designs a system customized to meet your needs. They work to put the most efficient panels in optimal locations on your roof, so your solar system produces enough electricity to suit your lifestyle.

While there is much discussion and many differing opinions on the best panels, at the end of the day the best panels are the ones that provide the amount of power you need to lower your electric bills and provide the right amount of clean, renewable energy needed for your home. Each design and installation is a unique work of art.

**Fun Fact – In the United States, South-facing roofs are the most optimal for solar energy production.

Let’s take a look at all the parts that make up a OneRoof Energy solar power kit:

  • The Solar Panels

    solar_panels_on_roof-1The most visible aspect of solar power kits is the solar panels themselves. Panels can be made from crystalline silicon or, the smaller copper, indium, gallium, or selenide crystals. Regardless of the material, the panels are all designed to work in the same way by converting photons (sunlight) into a form of energy called direct current.

    A solar panel is made up of photovoltaic solar cells, and a group of panels is known as an array. When  you see multiple panels sunbathing on your neighbor’s roof, this is their “array” of panels. The size of  your solar panel array will depend on your energy usage, how much sunlight your roof receives and possibly your budget if you’re looking to purchase a system.

    Power Purchase Agreements enable homeowners add solar panels to your roof with no upfront costs. Our design team creates a customized system that will generate enough power to match your energy consumption patterns.

  • Racking

    solar_racking-1Without racking, your solar panels would just slide right off the roof and go crashing onto the lawn. The racking is what holds solar panels safe and secure on your roof. This piece of solar energy equipment may also be used to slightly tilt your panels to help them soak in as much sunlight as possible. OneRoof works with the best professional installers in your area so that your installation is secure and the panels operate at maximum efficiency.

     

  • The Inverter

    solar_interter-1Wouldn’t life be grand if your solar panels could send energy directly to your refrigerator, television, cell  phone charger, and all the other electronics you use? Well, life doesn’t work that smoothly. Your solar panels create a specific form of energy called direct current while your home only accepts alternating current energy. It’s like your solar panels and home are speaking two different languages. Here to save the day is an inverter which turns the direct current from your solar panels into the alternating current  that can be used to power your home or put into the grid for energy credits. The inverter is an unobtrusive square box that typically sits next to your meter.

  • Monitoring System

    solar_monitoring_system-1All residential solar kits designed and installed by OneRoof Energy includes a monitoring system that allows us to track how well your solar panels are performing and identify and troubleshoot problems. For instance, if we notice that your panels have stopped working, we can send a technician out to review the problem and fix it right away.

    Our monitoring system also gives you visibility into your system’s production. You can access your solar production reports online or on your smartphone, through the mORE Power app. Easy-to-read graphs and charts will show you how much power your panels are producing, so you can make smart energy decisions that will protect your wallet and the planet!

SunDollars Referral Program Agreement

This SunDollars Referral Program Agreement (“Agreement”) is between OneRoof Energy, Inc. (“ORE”), a Delaware corporation at 4445 Eastgate Mall, Suite 240, San Diego, CA 92121 and you (“Referral Source”, together with ORE, the “Parties”), for certain referral fees in connection with residential solar systems.

THIS AGREEMENT IS EFFECTIVE UPON YOUR ACKNOWLEGEMENT THAT YOU HAVE READ, ACCEPT AND AGREE TO ADHERE TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS CONTAINED HEREIN.

Referral Source may be in contact with residential homeowners with an interest in residential solar products. ORE is in the business of financing residential solar systems through its financial products. ORE has agreed to offer certain referral fees to the Referral Source in exchange for qualified residential solar system leads.

In consideration of the foregoing, and for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:

  1. Defined Terms.

    “Countersigned” means a PPA that has been signed by a Homeowner that constitutes a Qualified Lead in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement, and is subsequently reviewed and signed by an authorized agent of ORE and is not subsequently cancelled or terminated.

    “Homeowner” means person(s) who hold legal title to the Residence that is contained in a Lead.

    “Interconnection” means the time at which ORE, in its sole and absolute discretion, turns on the System after ORE receives permission to operate the System from the local utility having jurisdiction over such System.

    “Lead” means all of the following information of the owner of a Residence who has expressed an interest to the Referral Source in learning more about the installation of a System at such Residence: the full name, phone number, email address, and the street address of such Residence.

    “Qualified Jurisdiction” means certain zip codes within states in which ORE offers residential solar financing products (currently, California, Massachusetts and New York) which shall be communicated to the Referral Source from time to time; provided that ORE reserves the right to amend the Qualified Jurisdiction without prior notice to the Referral Source.

    “Residence” means a single family residence located in a Qualified Jurisdiction.

    “Termination Date” means the one year anniversary of the Effective Date.

  2. Referrals; Qualified Tiers; Qualified Referral Fee.

    (a) From time to time, the Referral Source may choose to transmit Leads to ORE (name, phone number, email address and address of Residence of the Homeowner).

    (b) ORE shall contact the Homeowner to set up an in-person meeting (the “Site Visit”). Subject to the Homeowner’s cooperation, ORE, through its representative shall determine if (i) the Homeowner’s Residence is a single-family, owner-occupied residence, (ii) based on the estimated average monthly electric energy usage provided by the Homeowner as evidenced by recent electric utility bills, the estimated average monthly electric utility bill for such Residence is not less than $125.00, (iii) the Homeowner satisfies ORE’s credit requirements as determined by it in its sole and absolute discretion, and (iv) a System can be installed on the Homeowner’s Residence in accordance with the applicable requirements and guidelines (including those of ORE and/or its installers) in effect from time to time. If a Site Visit occurs and clauses (i) and (iv) are determined to be true, the applicable Lead will be a “Qualified Lead”. ORE shall notify Referral Source if a Lead does or does not constitute a Qualified Lead within 10 calendar days (the “Qualified Lead Notice”).

    (c) ORE shall pay the Referral Source up to $550.00 in the aggregate for each Qualified Lead, dependent upon which Tier (as defined below) the Referral Source belongs to, and subject to the payment milestones (the “Payment Milestones”) below. If Referral Source has previously provided to ORE between 1 and 3 Qualified Leads, he or she shall belong to Tier 1 (“Tier 1”) and if Referral Source has previously provided 4 or more Qualified Leads, he or she shall belong to Tier 2 (“Tier 2”).
