SUNBEAM INNOVATIONS
Many homeowners worry that Pennsylvania's cloudy days and cold winters make solar inefficient. However, solar engineers measure viability in "peak sun hours"—the specific times when solar intensity reaches 1,000 watts per square meter.
Pennsylvania receives an average of 4 to 4.5 peak sun hours per day. While this is lower than southwestern states, it is more than enough to offset 100% of a home's electricity usage when the system is correctly designed. Solar panels are highly efficient in cool temperatures, meaning crisp, sunny winter days still yield significant production.
During the winter months, snow is a factor. SunBeam Innovations installs Tier-1 panels on a calculated tilt using dark glass surfaces. When the sun hits the panels after a snowstorm, the snow melts and sheds rapidly, allowing your system to quickly resume maximum energy production.
Our engineers will build a custom solar blueprint engineered for your operation — backed by 30-year linear warranties and Tier-1 equipment.
