Solar Power…just one more way that West Day Village makes Living Easy.
How Solar Works
The solar panels produce DC electricity that run through an inverter to produce AC electricity. This energy flows into the AC power panel to power your apartment home. Energy that is not utilized is diverted back to the utility grid, in which property owners can receive credit through net metering programs from your local power companies and pass the savings back to you.
During the day extra solar power is exported back to the electricity grid, which creates a financial credit through net metering. At night, the property draws power back from the electricity grid in the normal way.
