Solar FAQ

Our frequently asked questions page is designed to give you an overview of solar technology, solar installation, and solar economics.

Project Sunroof powered by Google Earth revealed that over 80% of single family homes in the United States have a roof that is qualified for solar. Chances are, your home is structurally fit for a solar panel installation. However, your roof’s age and condition, your financial situation, and your aesthetic preferences may affect your home’s solar eligibility. Oftentimes it is the homes that are most in need of a new roof or electrical upgrade that benefit the most from a solar installation. To find out for sure, you can contact us today to get a free, evaluation of your home to determine if solar makes sense for you.

If you go solar, you will likely be paying less each month. Your utility company measures your electricity consumption that they bill you for in kilowatt hours (kWhs). The average cost for a kWh from your utility company in America is 13.72 cents. When you go solar, the cost of a kWh of electricity is 6-8 cents. Obviously, you are paying less when you go solar. But how does that affect your monthly budget? Each project is different, but most homeowners can finance a solar panel installation for $0.00 down, and start saving before they ever have to pay a bill. With current incentives available and great finance options, you can literally pay less each month to make the switch to solar. To find out if your home qualifies and to get a personalized quote, reach out today!

The average home solar installation saves over $1,500.00 a year off of their utility bills, and over $35,000.00 over the 25 year warrantied period of the system. The amount you will save is dependent on how much sunlight you get, what products you choose, and how you finance the system. The average homeowner, depending on the financing options available, can actually pay less each month right now than they are paying their utility company. However you finance, the bottom line is solar for your home is going to save you money.

Since we need electricity to live in our modern world, it’s not if you’re going to buy your electricity, it’s how. Buying from your utility company instead of producing your own clean energy to use from your property will always be more expensive. Deciding what finance option makes sense for you, whether your home is eligible for solar, and what products are right for you to maximize your return on investment, reach out to us today for a personalized quote!

Powering your home with solar is pretty straightforward. The solar panels capture sunlight and convert that energy into DC (Direct Current) electricity. That DC electricity is then converted to AC (Alternating Current) electricity, which is the type of electricity your home runs on. That electricity is then sent into your home for your personal use. Where it gets a little complicated is when the solar panel system on your home is producing more electricity than your household is consuming.

In this case, depending on your utility company’s rules and whether you have installed a battery {hyperlink to battery FAQ}. You will send that excess electricity either to the grid for a credit, which is most common, or store it in a battery to use when your panels are no longer creating energy, like at night.
