Eagle Solar Roof

Eagle Roofing Products® and Open Energy Corporation® have formed a partnership that has resulted in the Eagle Solar Roof, a system that maintains the aesthetics of a tile roof while generating clean, safe, efficient electricity from the sun. The Eagle Solar Roof is easy to install on residential, commercial or institutional pitched roofs and is appropriate for use in new construction or reroof.

How solar works The sun's energy is gathered by solar panels. Cables transfer the energy to the inverter. The inverter changes electricity from DC to AC. AC Electricity is used in the homeequipment. Solar System Size You can create any size system. More panels means more solar power produced. It just depends on what you want the system to do. You can choose to produce enough solar power to reduce your energy bill by 25‰ or 50‰. You can choose to produce enough solar power to keep your energy use through the utility below the highest priced rate tiers. You can choose to produce enough solar power to stop using energy from the utility grid. That is to say that you can net out to zero electricity supplied by the utility grid.

Installation

Installation is simple and can be done by an authorized roofer, electrician and/or solar integrator.

Net Metering

• When your solar system produces more energy than your home uses, the excess is sent into the power grid.
• Your utility will credit you for the excess energy that your solar system produces.
• The inverter changes the electricity from DC into AC.
• At night, when your solar system is not producing energy, you will draw electricity from the grid.
• Your credited electricity will be used before you are charged for using electricity from the grid.
