Did you know that solar power is being used all over the state of Kentucky? Not only is solar power being used in remote areas that have no available grid power but within the city of Louisville by Government agencies, commercial building and even home owners. you may have heard that solar power is not useful or viable in this region of the country but nothing could be further from the truth.

Solar power can be used to help lower your electric bill but it can also be used to provide back-up power to your home or business in the event of a power outage from the utility company. The difference between a solar back-up system and a generator system is the solar power doesn't cost you money to run. The sun provides the power, which is stored in a battery bank until it is needed. When the batteries begin to deplete they are re-charged by the sun. If you are worried about the sun making enough power to keep the batteries charged, a small generator can be used to supplement the sun when needed. Generators use a lot of fuel to run sometimes as much as two furnaces. It gets very expensive to keep the lights on, refrigerated foods cold and the house warm when you are burning fossil fuels 24 hours a day and fossil fuels are not getting any cheaper!
