Solar Electric panels also known as photovoltaic or PV panels convert the energy of the sun into electricity. PV systems can be sized to power your entire home or just a portion. Two types of PV systems are offered by BREW: Stand-alone or off-grid and Grid-tied.

Stand-alone systems are the best choice when it is either impossible or impractical to connect to the utility power grid. Stand-alone systems also work well in applications that have low power requirements such as well pumping or ventilation.

Grid-tied photovoltaic systems on residences and businesses are becoming more common as tax credits and incentive programs make them economically feasible.
