Solar Power and Oceanside Homes

One of the best things about living along the New England coast is the access to the ocean.

The water views, sandy beaches, picturesque lighthouses, and sun-kissed boats add to the charm and joy of living in Massachusetts. Even the warm breezes and smells of the salty ocean on a summer morning are enough to have New Englanders longing to head out to the shore.

Unfortunately, these sights and smells often come at a cost. This cost is measured in decay and corrosion of buildings, cars, and outdoor items, often caused by the thing we love the most – the ocean air that contains high levels of salt.

Environmental Factors & Solar Panels

Most homeowners who live near the shore know that environmental factors like the salty air and ever-present water in the air can mean corrosion. For many, this means having rust spots on their car or having to paint the exterior of their home more often due to decay or salt deteriorating anything metallic. But what about those solar panels that you see on everyone’s homes taking advantage of the brilliant seaside sun? Are they vulnerable to the same kind of corrosion that other items left outside are? What happens to homes that are located by the ocean, but utilize solar energy? With Solar Panels from Sun Power by BlueSel, you have nothing to worry about when you’re located by the ocean.

SunPower Panels by BlueSel Are Safe

That is where SunPower solar cells are different than most. Our solar panels have been designed so that the salty and moisture-rich environment along our shores will not corrode the metallic components such as: the racking system, wiring, or even the power cells themselves. This is huge for homes in New England!

Our solar systems are highly corrosion-resistant and are designed and installed to last 25 years no matter whether you are landlocked or perched on the ocean’s edge.
