Add More Solar

Adding more panels to an existing system while maintaining your current NEM status is a great way to get more power and lower your bills. Some things Baker Solar Professionals will help you with include:

    • Do a thorough energy analysis to determine the right number of panels to add.
    • Confirm your inverter is powerful enough to handle more panels and explore your options if it isn’t.
    • Maintain your current Net Energy Metering status

Non-Export Systems

A Non-Export System is designed to produce solar energy without sending excess power back to the grid. This allows you to retain your favorable current net energy metering status.

By using all the generated electricity within your household, you can:

    • Reduce your dependency on the grid.
    • Eliminate your True Up bill.
    • Charge your battery for later use.
    • Prevent excess electricity from going back to the grid.
