The U.S. installed 19.2 gigawatts of solar PV capacity in 2020 to reach 97.7 gigawatts of total installed capacity, enough to power 17.7 million American homes. Solar accounted for 43% of all new electricity-generating capacity added in the U.S. in 2020, representing solar’s largest ever share of new generating capacity and ranking first among all technologies for the second year in a row. Under a business-as-usual scenario, the U.S. solar industry will install more than 324 GW of capacity over the next 10 years, quadrupling the current amount of solar capacity installed.

Premium Solar Panels That Meet Every Need
Experts on Solar Panels for Homes
Residential PV systems, usually roof-mounted but often ground-mounted as well, use solar panels made of silicon to convert sunlight into electricity. Since 2006, the cost to install solar panels has dropped by almost 75 percent.
Depending on the size of the solar panel system, homeowners can save as much as 50 percent on their electric bills. In addition, studies show that solar powered homes sell 20 percent faster and for 17 percent more money than homes without solar.
When it comes to home solar power, Oak Electric does it all. We’ll help you configure the best system for your home and energy requirements; properly install the system, including arranging for permits and inspection; choose from our flexible financing options; and explain available federal tax credits and energy buyback options.

Oak Electric has completed a number of solar installations for business, commercial and industrial customers—warehouses, schools, restaurants, parking lots and corporations—in Michigan. We have even installed a solar power system at our headquarters in Waterford so that we can collect first-hand data on the benefits and savings of renewable power systems.

Frequently Asked Questions
A photovoltaic (PV) solar energy system is composed of solar panels, racking for mounting the panels on the roof, electrical wiring, and an inverter. From sunrise to sunset, the solar panels generate direct current electricity (DC) which is sent to the inverter. The inverter converts the DC into alternating current (AC), the type of electricity required for household use. The AC power is delivered directly to your home’s main electrical service panel for use by you and your family.
It’s important to minimize shading because solar panels operate at optimal output when their entire surface is fully exposed to direct sunlight. The system will still produce energy if it is shaded but its output will lessen.
Our solar systems are designed to have a useful life of 40 years or more.
Your current monthly energy use and the size of your system will determine your actual savings amount. And with little or no startup costs, systems can start paying for themselves immediately. Savings will vary based on several factors, including system size, performance, your household’s average energy usage as well as any applicable solar credits, tax incentives, and current solar energy buyback (net metering) rates offered by your utility company.
Having a solar system typically adds value to your home.* Depending on where you live, there is often no increase in your property taxes.
