Our modern lives are so different from how they were a decade ago. We’re more productive than ever, and we have more control over our homes, too.
We can automate heating, cooling, and lights; get answers to any question we can think of; and monitor our smart appliances and devices from anywhere. Have you tried circadian lighting? Absolute game changer.
Your home can be a calming refuge, the ideal place for entertaining, and the headquarters for your business—sometimes all in the same day! But the devices behind this convenience, independence, and control have one thing in common: they need electricity. They need the essential technology that protects and safeguards all that possibility.
Of course we’re talking about a home solar panel installation! But did you know just how customized we can build one these days?
Your solar system can be personalized to you, integrating with your smart home and providing even more options. Or if you prefer, it can simply disappear and quietly keep your home running, leaving you feeling safe and secure.
Your perfect solar installation truly allows you to live life your way. It can protect your home and family, make you more independent and productive, and give you more options to realize your ideal home.
Let’s talk about how!
Your home’s heartbeat
Solar panels turn your roof into a clean power plant. But unlike other power plants, there are no moving parts and no need to burn dirty fossil fuel; just free solar electricity to power all your appliances and devices. As long as the sun is up, you’ll be using locally-made solar electrons every time you brew a cup of coffee, run the dishwasher, or charge your phone.
There’s nothing else you need to do! Just enjoy the sun. Having solar panels truly leads to a feeling of abundance.
And did you know you’re not the only one benefitting from this solar energy?
During the day, a home solar system will almost always make more energy than you need, and the extra power gets sent to your neighbors through the local power lines. And of course, you’re helping keep the air everyone breathes just a little bit cleaner every day.
Having solar panels means you’re making a valuable contribution to your community!
A plan for resilience
Protecting your home and family is key, and you have to stay resourceful during unexpected events. What better way to stay resourceful than keeping the power on in an outage?
You can add optional components to your solar installation to do just that. One of our favorites is called “SMA Backup Select.”
SMA makes the solar inverter in your system, which turns DC solar power from the roof into AC power for use in your home. Backup Select is their solution to provide on-demand power to critical circuits in your home during an outage. No battery required!
Backup Select works by automatically detecting power outages and switching the home over to running on pure solar power instead. It safely isolates your home from the grid until it detects that the power is back on.
You might not know this, but if you have solar panels without this kind of special switch, they are designed to shut down during power outages so they don’t send power back across lines that repair crews might be working on.
If you’re concerned about the possibility of an outage, the SMA Backup Select can be an excellent addition to your home.
The right control when you need it
If you’re the kind of person who revels in the setting up all those complicated smart home controls, first of all, thank you. You’re the reason the rest of us are so comfortable when the lights dim in the evening and the thermostat kicks on to just the right temperature.
Second of all, we’ve got some more work for you. Don’t get too excited!
Every solar installation comes with the ability to monitor exactly how much power your panels are generating at any moment, along with how it’s being used in your home. You can also maximize your use of solar power by charging your EV, running large appliances, or setting your HVAC to pre-condition your home during daylight hours.
But there’s more, if you want it!
This is also the perfect time to upgrade your home’s main service panel to something like the Schneider Pulse smart load center. This upgrade gives you a ton of options for full control, making your home ready for full electrification and precise circuit-level control.

A solar installation is more than just some panels on your roof. It offers a new way to achieve your goals, whether that means comfort, independence, precise control, or even a connection to your community.
