How do Solar Panels Work?
The process of converting sunlight into electricity is achieved through the technology of photovoltaics, or PV. Each solar panel is installed by our expert team of SunPower dealers in Layton and consists of many smaller photovoltaic cells, which in turn contain two layers of semiconducting silicon. One layer is positively charged while the other is negatively charged, resulting in an electrical current. The photovoltaic conversion process begins when sunlight hits the cells, and the disturbed electrons of the silicon layers are knocked loose and drawn into the electrical current. This electric current is then converted from a direct current (DC) into an alternating current (AC) by an inverter. After this, the newly generated energy is ready to provide power to your home.
Solar systems have evolved far from the impractical and piecemeal technology of the past. Our SunPower solar panels are state-of-the-art, holding up to 55% more energy than other standard options and rank No. 1 in durability to maximize your solar use.
How Many Solar Panels Does a House Need?
One solar panel alone isn’t enough to power an entire house. The standard American home needs between 20 and 25 panels to fully cover its electricity, but your home might fall outside the average. The amount of solar panels your home requires depends on factors such as the size of the home, your electricity usage, and the amount of direct sunlight your lot receives.
Most American homes average at 1500 square feet and use around 877 kilowatt-hours per month. With a home of this size, between 20 and 25 solar panels are the estimate. The actual number of panels you'll need to install will be calculated after solar technicians examine your home factors.
Can I Install Solar Panels Myself?
The installation of solar panels can be a long and arduous process when going it alone. With so many factors to be considered (such as proper installation technique, acquiring necessary permits and financing concerns), it’s best to leave your home’s SunPower dealers either a licensed builder or a licensed electrical contractor. With SunPower by Custom Energy’s simple seven-step installation process, our team of experienced electricians and technicians will ensure your home’s transition to solar will be a painless process.
Can Solar Panels Survive Hail?
A common concern among homeowners in regions that experience extreme weather phenomena is whether their solar panels can withstand harsh conditions such as hail. While it’s true that no solar panel is indestructible, solar panels are designed to be durable enough to withstand some amount of impact from hail and other weather-related incidents.
Extreme weather conditions can cause damage, but solar panels are rated to withstand impacts from hail stones up to a certain size (typically around 25mm or 1 inch in diameter). In fact, solar panels are less susceptible to weather-related damage than most roof materials. They may even spare sections of your roof from injury. Most home insurance policies also cover weather-related damages on the slim chance that your system does experience harm due to a hail storm.
We here at SunPower by Custom Energy are proud to be the only master SunPower dealers in Layton. We offer the only solar warranty to cover your system for 25 years. Our systems are built to withstand the elements and deliver decades of high-quality solar energy to your home. With our industry-leading solar panel technology, we hope to give our customers peace of mind with the most durable and economical renewable energy solution on the market.

Is my Home a Good Fit for Solar?
The most important thing to consider when looking into SunPower dealers in Layton is whether it will be a good fit and truly beneficial for your home.
Though solar panels are meant to work in every climate, not every home is a suitable fit for solar. Factors such as aged rooftops, excessive tree cover, and a low monthly energy bill may mean your home either won’t be able to support or see benefits from solar power.
Solar panels typically function best on south-facing roofs with minimal shade, and homeowners with a monthly electricity bill of at least $75 see the most return on the investment of solar panels.
At SunPower by Custom Energy, we care more about sharing the benefits of solar energy than in making sales. We won’t waste your time - if your Utah home or property is a poor candidate for solar panel or solar power installation, we’ll be honest with you from the start of your consultation.
What are the Advantages of Solar Panels?
The top benefit of solar panels is often the most common incentive for homeowners; if you have a high monthly electricity bill, solar energy can help decrease or possibly even eliminate your electric bills.
Solar incentives and rebates may also be available where you live. The federal government offers homeowners a 26% solar tax credit, and many states offer additional financial incentives to encourage residents to go solar. A quality solar energy system can also increase your home’s value (LINK to Increase Your Home’s Value cluster page) and help it sell faster than other homes on the market.
A Smart Investment
If you have a high utility bill, live in a home that is a good fit for solar panels, and qualify for state incentives or tax breaks, looking into SunPower dealers in Layton is a smart long-term investment.
In some cities around the country, solar is already cost-competitive with the electricity sold by your local utility. The cost of going solar has dropped every year since 2009, a trend researchers expect to continue. Not only are the prices of panels dropping, so are the costs associated with installation, such as permitting and inspection - also known as “soft costs.” All of SETO's (Solar Energies Technologies Office) funding programs are working toward improving the affordability of solar and making it easier for consumers to choose solar.
How Does Solar Help the Planet?
Through its use of photovoltaic technology, solar power reduces the amount of pollution (such as carbon and pollutants) that is released into the environment. This eco-friendly energy source works toward a healthier environment with cleaner air and water, all while working to save you money by generating 55% more energy than other standard options and maximizing your solar use.

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
