Residential

Everything a home energy system needs, in one collection. Portlandia Electric Supply's residential catalog spans the full stack: 400W-class rooftop solar panels from Aptos, Mission, Trina, and Silfab; string inverters and microinverters from SolarEdge, APsystems, and Enphase; hybrid and battery-based inverters from Magnum and Sol-Ark; and Generac standby generators for backup that does not depend on sunshine at all. Most residential projects here follow one of three paths. Grid-tied solar for bill reduction: panels plus a SolarEdge optimized string system or APsystems microinverters like the four-module QS1. Solar-plus-storage for outage protection: a hybrid inverter with LiFePO4 batteries that keeps critical loads running automatically. Or whole-home standby power: a Generac air-cooled generator with an automatic transfer switch for seamless backup regardless of weather. Many homes combine all three — solar for daily savings, batteries for short outages, and a generator for week-long storms. Wholesale pricing applies whether you are a homeowner buying your own equipment or an installer stocking a job. Single panels and components ship parcel; pallet quantities and full systems go freight with liftgate service. Not sure which path fits your home? Send us your power bill and your goals — our team designs residential systems every day and will spec the equipment list before you spend a dollar. Shop Residential Solar Panels — 400W–500W Modules for Home Rooftops Portlandia Electric Supply stocks residential solar panels from 20+ Tier 1 manufacturers, optimized for home rooftop installations. Our residential range includes 400W–500W modules with all-black options for HOA compliance, half-cell technology for shade tolerance, and N-Type cells for long-term efficiency. All panels ship with full 25-year manufacturer warranties and technical support. How to Choose Residential Solar Panels Panel Wattage: 400W vs. 450W vs. 500W Most residential solar systems use 400W–450W panels. Here's how to choose: 400W panels — Best value for standard roofs. Require 25 panels for a 10kW system. Most cost-effective option for budget-conscious homeowners. 450W panels — Higher efficiency, fewer panels needed. Require 22 panels for a 10kW system. Ideal for space-constrained roofs. 500W panels — Premium efficiency, maximum power density. Require 20 panels for a 10kW system. Best for small roofs or premium installations. Cell Technology for Residential For residential installations, we recommend N-Type TOPCon panels (JA Solar, Trina, Jinko) or high-quality PERC panels (Qcells, Mission Solar). TOPCon panels offer better efficiency and lower degradation, but PERC panels are more budget-friendly. All-Black vs. Silver Frame If your neighborhood has an HOA or you want a sleek appearance, choose all-black panels (Qcells Q.PEAK DUO BLK, REC Alpha Black, Mission Solar Black/Black). Silver frame panels perform identically but cost $0.02–$0.05 less per watt and are more visible on the roof.

Frequently Asked Questions About Residential Solar Panels How many solar panels do I need for my house? Most homes need 20–30 panels (8–12kW) to cover 80–100% of electricity usage. A typical 2,000 sq ft home uses 1,000–1,500 kWh/month and needs a 10kW system (25 × 400W panels). Use our Quote My System tool or call (888) 876-0007 for a precise calculation. Will solar panels increase my home value? Yes. Homes with solar sell for 4–6% more than comparable homes without solar. The average value increase is $15,000–$20,000 for a typical residential system. Solar is considered a home improvement that reduces operating costs. How long do residential solar panels last? Most Tier 1 residential panels are rated for 25–30 years. Performance warranties guarantee 80–87% of original output after 25 years. Inverters typically need replacement after 10–12 years. The total system lifespan is 25–30 years with one inverter replacement. Can I install solar panels myself? Yes. Many of our customers are DIY installers. We provide complete kits with all equipment, manuals, and technical support. However, electrical connections and utility interconnection must be done by a licensed electrician. We can recommend local installers in your area.
