Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some of the most common asked questions.

How does solar work?

Solar panels convert sunlight into electrical energy that can be used to power homes and businesses. The panels are connected to an inverter, which converts the direct current (DC) electricity produced by the panels into alternating current (AC) electricity that can be used by appliances and electrical devices. The excess energy can be stored for later use or fed back into the grid for a credit.

Can you simplify the installation process?

Yes! Our team of experts will work with you to design a customized solar panel system that meets your energy needs. We will handle all the necessary paperwork, permits, and inspections, and install the system on your roof or property. Once the installation is complete, we'll walk you through how to activate and monitor your system. However, we'll be there for you for anything you need thereafter.

Should I be worried about my roof?

If you have concerns about your roof's ability to support solar panels, our team of experts will conduct a thorough inspection and provide recommendations for any necessary repairs.

What should I do if I move to a new home?

If you move to a new home, you can either sell your solar panel system to the new homeowners or have it removed and reinstalled at your new property. Since Solar systems increase home value, we recommend leaving it and selling along with your home.

Is solar energy reliable?

Yes, Solar energy is a reliable source of energy. Solar panels are designed to withstand extreme weather conditions and are built to last for over 25-30. The inverter and other components typically will have 25 year warranties, so you can have peace of mind knowing that your system will continue to provide clean, sustainable energy for years to come.

What is the difference between financing and paying cash for solar?

Financing allows you to install solar panels with little to zero money down, without liens being attached to your home. You can choose from various financing options, that allow you to make monthly payments over time. Paying cash upfront allows you to own the solar panel system outright and enjoy the full financial benefits of having a solar-powered home or business.

What kind of maintenance is required for solar panels?

Solar panels require very little maintenance and are designed to last for 25-30 years. Regular cleaning of the panels can help maintain their efficiency, but most panels can be wiped clean with a hose and soft cloth. The inverter and other components may require occasional maintenance, but this can be performed by our team of professionals.

What are tax credits and renewable energy certificates (REC's)?

Tax Credits are incentives offered by the government to encourage homeowners and businesses to invest in renewable energy. These credits can be applied to your federal tax bill and can significantly reduce the cost of a solar panel system. Renewable Energy Certificates (REC's) are certificates that represent proof that energy was generated from a renewable energy source. These certificates can be sold to utilities to meet their renewable energy goals.

How much energy can solar panels produce?

The amount of energy that Solar panels can produce depends on several factors, including the size of the system, the location of the panels, and the angle and orientation of the roof. Our team of professionals will be able to identify, calculate and present to you the amount of production your home will have.

Can solar panels be installed on any roof?

Solar panels can be installed on most roof types, including asphalt shingles, metal, and flat roofs. However, the roof must be in good condition and able to support the weight of the panels. Our team of experts will conduct a thorough inspection and provide recommendations for any necessary roof repairs. If the roof is inadequate or if a customer prefers, we can also install a ground-mounted solar system on their property.
