How does solar energy work?

Solar panels convert sunlight into electricity through photovoltaic cells. When sunlight hits the panels, it creates an electrical current that flows through an inverter, which converts the DC power to AC power for use in your home.

Any excess energy can be fed back into the grid for credits, or stored in battery systems for later use.

How much can I save with solar?

Savings depend on several factors including your current electricity usage, local utility rates, and system size. Most homeowners save 70-90% on their electric bills.

Over 25 years, typical savings range from $20,000 to $50,000 or more, depending on your location and energy usage.

Will solar panels work in cloudy weather?

Yes! Solar panels still generate electricity on cloudy days, though at reduced efficiency (typically 10-25% of full capacity).

Modern solar systems are designed to work in various weather conditions and are tested to withstand hail, high winds, and temperature extremes.

How long does installation take?

The physical installation typically takes 1-3 days for most residential systems, depending on the size and complexity of your roof.

The complete process from contract signing to system activation usually takes 4-8 weeks, including permitting and utility approvals.

Is my roof suitable for solar panels?

Most roofs are suitable for solar, but ideal conditions include:

  • South, southwest, or southeast facing orientation
  • Minimal shading from trees or buildings
  • Structurally sound with newer roofing materials
  • Adequate space for panel installation

Our team will conduct a thorough assessment to determine your roof's suitability.

Do you handle permits and inspections?

Yes! We handle all permitting and inspection requirements for your solar installation, including:

  • Building permits with local authorities
  • Electrical permits and inspections
  • Utility interconnection agreements
  • Final inspections and approvals

What financing options are available?

We offer several financing options to make solar affordable:

  • Cash Purchase: Immediate ownership with maximum savings
  • Solar Loans: Low-interest financing with ownership benefits
  • Leasing: No upfront costs with fixed monthly payments
  • Power Purchase Agreements (PPA): Pay for solar power at reduced rates

Are there any tax incentives for solar?

Yes! Current incentives include:

  • Federal Tax Credit: 30% of system cost through 2032
  • State Incentives: Many states offer additional rebates
  • Local Incentives: Municipal and utility programs
  • Net Metering: Credits for excess energy sent to the grid

We'll help you identify and apply for all available incentives in your area.

How much maintenance do solar panels require?

Solar panels require very little maintenance:

  • Occasional cleaning to remove dust and debris
  • Annual visual inspections for damage
  • Monitoring system performance through our app
  • Professional maintenance every 5-10 years

Most maintenance is covered under our warranty and monitoring service.

What happens if a panel stops working?

Our monitoring system alerts us immediately if any panel underperforms. We provide:

  • 24/7 system monitoring and alerts
  • Rapid diagnosis and repair services
  • 25-year equipment warranties
  • Performance guarantees on energy production

Most issues are covered under warranty at no cost to you.

How long do solar panels last?

Solar panels are built to last 25-30 years or more. They come with performance warranties guaranteeing at least 80-90% efficiency after 25 years.

Most panels continue producing electricity well beyond their warranty period, often lasting 35-40 years with gradual efficiency decline.
