Solar photovoltaic (PV) cells convert sunlight (photons) into electricity (voltage) via the “photovoltaic effect.” They are made of semi-conducting materials, the most common being silicon, which is the second most abundant element on the planet, exceeded only by oxygen. Solar PV technology has been commercially used since the 1950s and has long been used to power calculators, satellites, road signs, phone call boxes, remote industrial applications, remote homes & cabins, etc. Due to decreasing prices via economies of scale and increasing government support, solar PV is now more cost-effective than ever for residential and commercial applications in urban areas.

Investing in solar energy means investing in the long-term health of the environment. At Namasté Solar, we’re in it for the long haul. Beginning with our educational system design process, we work with customers on defining expectations, adapting to challenges, discussing the details, and celebrating successful solar installations. Whether we are working on a single home or a large, commercial system, we take every project to heart. We spend the time to learn what our customers really want, work within their budget, custom-design every system, and provide lifetime assistance.
