What are the benefits of switching to solar?

Solar is a clean, sustainable energy source that helps reduce dependency on less environmentally-friendly power sources such as natural gas, coal, or crude oil. PosiGen was started in New Orleans when our founders sought to help communities without efficient energy resources after Hurricane Katrina. Now serving eight states, our mission is to give every homeowner an opportunity to manage their energy cost with solar - regardless of credit or income levels. By making solar panels more accessible and offering additional energy efficiency audits, PosiGen has helped homeowners save over 80,000 kWh of energy.

How does solar work?

Solar Panels gather clean, renewable energy from the sun in the form of Direct Current (DC) energy. The system uses an inverter to convert the energy gathered into Alternating Current (AC) energy so that it can be used in your home.

Why do you ask for my current electric bill?

Your electric bill provides a detailed record of your home's typical energy consumption. We request a full year of bills to better understand how much energy your household needs during different seasons.

Do solar panels keep the lights on when there is a power outage?

We offer additional battery options that many customers choose to have which help keep the electricity running for up to 45 hours after a power outage. This can help keep your refrigerator running, electrical devices charged, and operate like nothing ever happened while the rest are dealing with a power outage.
