About Source Solar
.
Source Solar is Urbana’s premier solar contractor, with over ten years of experience in the solar industry. With more than 500 successful installations, we are confident that we can provide our clients with quality, efficient, and affordable solar solutions. In recent years, solar energy has become an increasingly popular option for homeowners, farmers, and business owners in Iowa due to its exceptional financial and environmental benefits. At Source Solar, we believe that the best way to harness solar energy is by installing solar panels on rooftops or using solar trackers on the ground. Our team of skilled technicians has access to the finest solar products on the market ensuring that our customers get the most suitable and long-lasting installation possible.
Solar energy is used to power the world, and Iowa is no exception. Although Iowa is known for its extreme weather conditions, it still enjoys plenty of sunshine throughout the year, making solar energy a viable option. In Urbana, the average daily sunshine hours range from 4 to 8 depending on the season, which is more than sufficient to meet energy needs. However, solar panels’ efficiency is affected by weather conditions such as extreme heat, snow, and rain. That’s why our team will conduct a thorough site inspection to ensure that the location is optimal for optimal energy production.
Extreme temperatures, especially during winter, will result in the accumulation of snow on solar panels, reducing their power output. However, our installations are designed to be tilted at an angle of 20-35 degrees to prevent snow from building up. Moreover, Source Solar uses frameless panels with smooth surfaces with an anti-reflective coating that helps snow slide off easily.
When it comes to extreme heat, solar panels are affected negatively because the silicon cells in the panels become less efficient. In Iowa, the extreme heat in summer can reduce solar panel efficiency to 15-20% less than their normal operating efficiency. However, our solar panels have an excellent cooling system that keeps them at an optimal temperature for energy production. Moreover, our technicians will include a shading analysis to determine if any trees or buildings around the installation site will cause shading, which can also affect the output of the solar panels.
Over the years, we have provided our customers with exceptional customer service, including site evaluation, system design, and installation of the solar energy system. We understand that every client has unique energy needs, which is why we tailor our services to meet each customer’s needs regardless of their budget. At Source Solar, we remain committed to providing quality solar energy solutions to our customers. This is why all our installations come with a 25-year warranty on the performance and materials, ensuring that our clients get value for their investment.
In conclusion, Source Solar is Urbana’s best solar contractor, with over ten years of experience and more than 500 successful installations. Our team is equipped with the latest technology, tools, and skillset necessary to install efficient and long-lasting solar energy systems. Our site inspections, shading analysis, and customized solutions ensure that our clients get the best possible results for their solar investment. Despite the extreme weather conditions in Iowa, our installations are designed and installed to maximize energy production, ensuring that your solar panels deliver the highest output possible throughout the year. Choose Source Solar today for your solar energy needs, and you won’t be disappointed.
Renewable Power in Benton County​
Solar energy is a great option for Urbana Iowa due to its many benefits. Firstly, solar panels generate electricity without emitting harmful greenhouse gases, reducing the carbon footprint of the town. This energy source is also extremely reliable, as it is not subject to price fluctuations or supply chain disruptions like other traditional energy sources. Additionally, solar panels require very little maintenance and can last up to 30 years, making them a long-lasting investment for the town. Perhaps most importantly, installing solar panels can significantly reduce energy costs for the town and its residents, making it an appealing option for those looking to save money while also benefiting the environment.
The 2022 Infrastructure Bill has extended the ITC to 30%! This means that the federal government offers a 30% income tax credit on the full cost of the project.
Electricity costs are still rising across the country and utility companies charge more when they know you need electricity most. BUT, if you produce your own solar electricity and store it onsite, those peak-pricing surprises become a thing of the past. Take control of your energy and find out how much you can save.
