Solar Panel Systems
One of the first steps to gaining energy independence is choosing which solar panel system to invest in. Each system will give you clean, renewable energy. Next, you have to determine how much you want to depend on the traditional grid.
Your choice is more than deciding to be on or off the grid. The amount of roof space you have, the angle of your roof, and other factors out of your control affect which system will work best for you. To help you better understand your solar system choices and what might work best for your home, here’s an explainer of the three main system types.

Grid-Tiered System
The “grid” is the utility company’s existing infrastructure that brings their power to your building. A grid-tiered system means your home is connected to your solar panel system, but you can access the utility company’s power grid as needed. This is crucial if your roof doesn’t have enough space for many panels or if you don’t have battery storage. That way, if the power goes out or there is poor weather, you aren’t left in the dark.
As a bonus, if your panels produce more energy than your home needs, you may have the option to sell it back to your electric company.
This is the most common type of system for homes and small businesses. Even if your home isn’t designed in a way to maximize solar, your system will still help offset your utility bill.
Off-Grid System
Say goodbye to the electric company and hello to absolute energy independence.
An off-grid system means you completely disconnect from the grid and power your home entirely with solar energy. While you’ll no longer see a bill from your electric company, this will require a more significant investment upfront.
Moving off the grid requires a battery storage system. That way, you can power through the night and inclement weather without worrying about running out of energy. These batteries will also be larger than if you were still connected to the grid. It is also a good idea to invest in a generator, just in case.
Before disconnecting, know how much energy your home uses. That way, your production will match your needs. Depending on the size of your roof, you may not be able to install enough panels to power your home with solar energy. If you live on a large parcel of land, you can install solar panels on the ground to help.
Hybrid System
A hybrid system is a safe middle ground. Your panels will still work hard for you, but you’re still connected to the grid, just in case. A hybrid system will also come with battery storage, so you don’t have to rely on the grid when the weather is poor.

How to Know Which System is Best for You
Your decision will depend on your home’s architecture, the size of the land you live on and what your individual needs are. You’ll also want to remember that solar panel efficiency degrades over time, so while you may make enough energy to go off the grid now, that may change in 10 years. Custom Energy SunPower solar panels only lose 8% of their efficiency over 25 years, compared to conventional solar panels, which lose 19.3%.
You’ll have more freedom in choosing the right type of solar panel system by investing in a product that will provide more power with the smallest surface area. SunPower system panels have microinverters built into them, which optimizes the amount of the sun’s rays that are adapted into energy. The system also seamlessly pairs with our batteries to provide independence at night.

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
