Cheyenne Residential Solar Power Systems 

The first step for Cheyenne residential solar power systems is to design the right type and size system to accommodate the power needs of the property and goals of the homeowner. The first decision that needs to be made is whether you want a traditional solar power setup or an off-grid solar power setup. This will depend on whether you want to reduce your energy bills or go completely off the grid and generate your own power. 

When designing residential solar power systems, the process starts with a consultation and site evaluation. It isn’t just the size of the house that determines the number of solar panels that are needed. Your solar energy experts will evaluate your power needs, the best layout for the system, the roof, and your family’s energy needs. 

To determine the number of solar panels needed, consider:

• Energy usage – The energy usage of the home determines the number of solar panels that will be needed. Your energy usage information can be found in your utility bills over the past year. 
• The type of solar panels – All solar panels are not the same and the wattage varies. Higher wattage solar panels generate more energy, so you won’t need as many as you would with lower wattage panels. 
• Available sunlight – The amount of sunlight in the area influences how much power is generated by the panels. Wyoming is ranked #10 for solar power in the United States.
