Getting Off The Grid
Whether it’s a rural farmhouse or a getaway cabin in the mountains, disconnecting from the grid and investing in solar can be a cost-effective and green way to become energy independent. Connecting a remote home to the traditional grid can be difficult — and expensive. There is the cost of bringing the lines to your house and then the extra price tag of electricity seen in rural areas. You’re also more likely to go longer stretches without power after storms.
As solar contractors in Layton, the experts of Custom Energy can explain what it will take to disconnect completely. You can expect a larger investment upfront but with numerous long-term benefits.

The Cost of Power in Rural Areas
The Energy Information Administration reports that rural spaces have higher utility bills than urban ones. This is partly because more remote areas have more expensive rates. Another is that people in rural places use more electricity because natural gas heating is less common. It also takes more infrastructure to get lines to farther away areas, and customers are more spread out.
Electric rates are fluid. They change throughout the year, but recent increases have outpaced inflation. Completely disconnecting from the grid will eliminate that bill. If you’re building a house, you save the exorbitant prices of connecting power lines from you to the grid because solar contractors in Layton only need to put equipment on-site.
What it Takes to Disconnect
Most homes using solar that are in the city or suburbs are on what is considered a hybrid system. This means they are still connected to the grid and can pull from it when their power is insufficient.
When you’ve disconnected from the grid, you are entirely independent. You will need a comprehensive system to meet your needs. You can expect to invest in more panels and battery storage. This will be a higher cost in equipment upfront than if you had a hybrid system, but your independence will give you more stability. If the power goes out, a utility company will prioritize fixing the lines that will benefit the most people. If you live in a remote area, you could wait days to get the lights back on.
SunPower by Custom Energy is happy to help determine whether solar is right for you and your home. We will ensure you get the best system to meet your needs.

Hiring Solar Contractors in Layton Reliability is Key
Your self-contained system produces enough now, but what about in 10 or 20 years? You don't want failing equipment dropping you in the dark. Investing in quality panels and service from the beginning makes a difference. Solar contractors in Layton are not all the same. If a company is installing and maintaining your panels, they must last.

After over two decades, they are guaranteed to provide 92% of the energy they did the day they were installed. Plus, they are covered with one of the best warranties in the solar business.

I had a SunPower system (35 panels and 2 batteries) installed by Custom Electrical (Custom Energy). I found them knowledgeable and easy to work with from the project start to finish. The design and install crews did excellent work and took my concerns into account. Their work was completed on time and on budget. I would use them again in the future and I certainly recommend them.— Steve Kaylor

We contacted Custom Energy late in the fall hoping that our system could be installed before year end. They worked quickly with the design and permitting process and installation was completed in December. They did a very professional job and everything works like it is supposed to.— ROBERT FOLEY
