How much you will save depends on your electricity usage. However, in most cases, by adding solar we are able to reduce your electricity bill to the non-bypassable charges only. (Non-bypassable charges are the minimal fees utility companies charge each home for having a registered account with the utility. They can range approx. $10-25/month

Yes, solar panels may increase the value of your home. Studies have shown that homes with solar panel installations tend to sell for more than comparable homes without solar panels. The exact increase in value can vary depending on factors such as the size and quality of the solar installation, local real estate market conditions, and the preferences of potential buyers.

Homeowners can enter into Net Energy Metering agreements with the utility company so you can take advantage of the solar rates available. Certain utilities may also give you a credit for the excess generation you have, to apply towards your bill.

Residential solar panels generally require minimal maintenance, but it's essential to keep them clean and ensure they're operating efficiently. Why is regular learning & inspection recommended? Dirt, dust, pollen, leaves, bird droppings, and other debris can accumulate on solar panels over time, reducing their efficiency. Cleaning the panels with water and a mild detergent solution, along with a soft brush or sponge, can help maintain optimal performance. (No harsh chemicals) Depending on your location and the amount of debris, cleaning may be needed every few months to once a year.

The time it takes to install solar panels on a residential property can vary depending on several factors, including the size of the system, the complexity of the installation, and the city the project will be installed in. However, a typical residential solar panel installation can usually be completed within 60 days. This process includes permitting, installation, city, final and permission to operate with the utility.

If you choose the load shifting option, you will not have power if there’s an outage, despite having a battery. Let us know what your key priorities are, and we will design a plan that meets your needs.

Before making the decision to install solar panels on your home, it's important to consider several factors to ensure you maximize the benefits of your solar investment. Here are some key considerations:

Roof Condition and Orientation: The condition of your roof and its orientation to the sun is an important consideration. Our team will assess the condition of your roof and recommend repair or replacement if needed. A strong roof is necessary due to the weight of solar panels (approx. 70 lbs each) and we do not recommend installation on roofs with extreme wear or nearing the end of their lifespan. Additionally, our team will help determine which way the sun hits your roof and design a plan to maximize the sun’s power.

Available Space: Our team will help determine the amount of available space on your roof for solar panels. Factors such as roof size, obstructions like chimneys or vents, or any landscaping that may affect panel placement will determine how many panels your roof can hold.

Energy Usage: We will help analyze your household's energy usage to determine the size of the solar system needed to meet your electricity needs. To do this, we review past utility bills to understand your energy consumption patterns and consider future changes in energy usage (such as the purchase of a new electric vehicle, growing family, or extreme weather patterns).

Solar Panel Quality and Warranty: We always recommend our clients research reputable solar panel manufacturers with reliable performance and warranties. We only offer Tier 1 products with a 30-year production warranty, and allow our customers to choose from our selection.

Yes, there are often incentives and rebates available for residential solar installations, which can significantly reduce the overall cost of going solar. These incentives vary depending on your location, but they commonly include:

Federal Tax Credits: The federal government often offers tax credits for solar installations, allowing homeowners to claim a percentage of their solar system costs as a credit on their federal taxes. These credits can amount to a substantial portion of the total installation cost.

State and Local Rebates: Many states and local governments offer rebates or incentives for installing solar panels. These can take the form of cash rebates, property tax exemptions, or sales tax exemptions.

Net Metering Programs: Net metering allows homeowners to sell excess electricity generated by their solar panels back to the grid, effectively offsetting their electricity bills. In some cases, homeowners can even earn credits for surplus electricity produced.

Solar Renewable Energy Certificates (SRECs): Some states have SREC programs, where homeowners earn credits for every megawatt-hour of electricity their solar panels produce. These credits can then be sold to utilities or other entities to meet renewable energy goals.

Utility-Specific Incentives: Some utilities offer incentives or special programs for customers who install solar panels. These can include cash rebates, performance-based incentives, or special financing options.
