Solar Masons has a vision of a world where renewables like Solar (PV) Energy, Wind, and Hydro are the prime sources of energy, providing a cleaner and brighter future for generations to come. We have adopted this methodology not because we pretend to know what the future holds, but rather we will not leave it to chance. Our fate as a planet depends on the decisions we make today.   Forecasters say that by 2040 over 50% of the worlds energy will come from renewable sources. We believe that solar is a critical part of producing clean, renewable, and cost-efficient energy.  ​  Communities in the U.S. and around the world would benefit a great deal from this technology and for this reason, we have decided to donate 10% of our profits towards deploying the resources necessary to provide renewable and sustainable resources to aid those regions both home and abroad.   Solar Masons is owned an operated by Noel Segui (BIO), a Pennsylvania Army National Guard Veteran with an extensive background in Residential, Commercial and Utility Construction. Solar Masons is a solar integrator offering, design, products, installation, smart concepts, monitoring, financing, and is an ongoing solar utility service provider for both our planet and one day the stars.     Launched in 2018, Solar Masons has pioneered the concept of Solar Done Right which focuses on offering the customer an unparalleled solar experience. Our mission is to inspire, educate and make it easy for our customers to make a difference.

The first step in any potential solar project is to review the electrical usage for the past 12 months to calculate how many kWhs are used on average over the course of a full year. The second step is to determine if the site is feasible for solar and what the options are for optimal energy production from your potential solar system.     There is a fundamental problem with the Solar Industry. We are overwhelmed with calls on a daily basis about Solar Energy Sales and or Installation Companies that are no longer in business or that have used lower quality equipment for their installations which have since failed and are out of warranty.      All of their customers are left with a huge problem. When a Solar (PV) Energy System has been abandoned, it becomes a great risk to those on the property as well as the grid that system is connected to and every operating lineman.  ​  We are fighting to combat many of these issues by not only installing SunPower Products on all of our projects but performing upgrades on abandoned systems so that they are eligible for our Operations and Maintenance (O&M) services. This allows us to implement 24/7 monitoring capabilities to existing systems that qualify add your system to our database for onsite routine checks.  ​  We didnt stop there. We also partnered with Garvin Metal Roofs (NEPA) in order to deliver a brand new roof that is guaranteed for 40 years. Garvin is onsite during the mounting of the SunPower Panels and Racking to as well to ensure we do not void the warranty on the roof provided. The result - 100% Leak Free  ​  We have identified that Pennsylvania, New York, and New Jersey are at the epicenter of the problem for the East Coast. With 24/7 monitoring as well as onsite inspections we hope to prevent catastrophic failures before they happen while enhancing energy yield, overall system performance, and renewable energy education.

• Solar energy — Electromagnetic energy transmitted from the sun (solar radiation). The amount that reaches the earth is equal to one billionth of total solar energy generated, or the equivalent of about 420 trillion kilowatt-hours.

• Photovoltaic (PV) module — The smallest environmentally protected, essentially planar assembly of solar cells and ancillary parts, such as interconnections, terminals, (and protective devices such as diodes) intended to generate direct current power under unconcentrated sunlight. The structural (load carrying) member of a module can either be the top layer (superstrate) or the back layer (substrate)

• Alternating current (AC) — A type of electrical current, the direction of which is reversed at regular intervals or cycles. In the United States, the standard is 120 reversals or 60 cycles per second. Electricity transmission networks use AC because voltage can be controlled with relative ease

• Direct current (DC) — A type of electricity transmission and distribution by which electricity flows in one direction through the conductor, usually relatively low voltage and high current. To be used for typical 120 volt or 220-volt household appliances, DC must be converted to alternating current, its opposite

• Angle of incidence — The angle that a ray of sun makes with a line perpendicular to the surface. For example, a surface that directly faces the sun has a solar angle of incidence of zero, but if the surface is parallel to the sun (for example, sunrise striking a horizontal rooftop), the angle of incidence is 90°

• Balance of system — Represents all components and costs other than the photovoltaic modules/array. It includes design costs, land, site preparation, system installation, support structures, power conditioning, operation and maintenance costs, indirect storage, and related costs.

• Battery capacity — The maximum total electrical charge, expressed in ampere-hours, which a battery can deliver to a load under a specific set of conditions.

• Battery cell — The simplest operating unit in a storage battery. It consists of one or more positive electrodes or plates, an electrolyte that permits ionic conduction, one or more negative electrodes or plates, separators between plates of opposite polarity, and a container for all the above.

• Battery cycle life — The number of cycles, to a specified depth of discharge, that a cell or battery can undergo before failing to meet its specified capacity or efficiency performance criteria.

• Battery energy capacity — The total energy available, expressed in watt-hours (kilowatt-hours), which can be withdrawn from a fully charged cell or battery. The energy capacity of a given cell varies with temperature, rate, age, and cut-off voltage. This term is more common to system designers than it is to the battery industry where capacity usually refers to ampere-hours.
