How do solar panels work?

New to solar? Get a quick illustrated lesson on how solar panels convert sunlight into clean, efficient energy for your home year round.


How much power can your home produce?

When you install solar panels on your roof, you transform your home from just another house into a “green” power plant that can supply part or all of your home’s electricity. The amount of energy generated from solar panels depends on the size of the system: the larger the system (i.e. the more panels you have) the more electricity generated. Find out how your home can become your own “green power plant”.


How much will it cost?

The initial cost of solar panels varies depending on the size of the installation you choose. But no matter what the initial investment, Astrum Solar panels always recoup their price tag. How?  By dramatically reducing your electricity costs, increasing the value of your home, and entitling you to rebates from federal, state and local authorities that reduce upfront costs by 50 percent!

Is Maryland a good place to go solar?

Maryland is rich in sunlight hours, and our government and utilities offer generous incentives and tax credits that reduce the cost of installation by 50-70%! Find out how brightly the sun shines on our state of Maryland.


Why go solar now? Won’t the technology just get better and cheaper if I wait?

The rule of thumb when buying new technology is “wait until they get the bugs out and the price comes down”. Solar technology is an exception to that rule. Solar technology is not new, prices have already come down dramatically, and they are unlikely to drop further. And the technology has reached its highest level of efficiency. What does that mean for you? There’s never been a better time to go solar.


Is the installation complicated?

Not with Astrum Solar. First, our professional installers come to your home and size the system to fit your house and your budget. Then they install the panels and connect them by wire to your existing electrical panel. Astrum Solar handles all electrical and building permits. The installation takes 2-3 days.
