In this video, we’re taking a closer look at solar power systems for homes. Solar power is often associated with living offgrid, but surprisingly there are a lot more people installing solar panels on homes that are connected to the grid. We met up with Albert from iSolara to learn about:

Why people are installing solar at home: cost savings, sustainability, security
The basic components of a solar power system: solar panel, inverter, racking system, battery
Installation options for panels: roof mount, ground mount
Costs and moneysaving opportunities like net metering
Important considerations including some of the risks to keep in mind when going solar: snow, ice, orientation, location

We want to say a huge thank you to Albert and the iSolara team for helping us make this video, including their clients who let us film in and around their homes :)
