Frequently Asked Questions

What are some benefits of going solar to me as a homeowner?

Going solar offers several key benefits:

  • Lower energy bills: Generate your own electricity and reduce or eliminate monthly energy costs.
  • Increased home value: Homes with solar panels typically sell for more, making it a smart investment.
  • Energy independence: Become less reliant on the grid, which is especially useful in areas prone to outages.
  • Tax incentives: Federal tax credits can significantly reduce the cost of installing a solar system.
  • Long-term savings: Solar panels last 25+ years, providing enduring savings as energy costs rise.

In short, going solar is a smart move that boosts your savings, enhances your home’s value, and secures your energy future.

How do I know if my home is a good candidate for solar?

If your roof gets plenty of sun, is in good shape, and your household uses a lot of energy, solar could be a great fit for you. Here are a few things to keep in mind:

  • Check your roof: Make sure your roof is in good condition and has enough space for solar panels. A south-facing roof is ideal, but east or west can also work well.
  • Assess your sunlight: Tools like Google’s Project Sunroof can help you see how much sunlight your roof gets.
  • Review your energy use: Look at your energy bills to see how much electricity you use.
  • Know the rules and perks: Check for any local rules about solar panels and look into available incentives or rebates.

During our consultation, I’ll help you figure out all of these details and find the best solar solution for your home.

Should I get a solar loan or solar lease?

Deciding between a solar loan and a solar lease depends on your financial goals and utility specifics.

  • Solar Loan: You own the panels and finance them over time.
  • Solar Lease/PPA: You don’t own the panels but pay a fixed fee for the energy, often much lower than utility rates. You’ll also benefit from a 25-year production guarantee, ensuring consistent energy output and covering all maintenance and repairs.

There are other factors to consider as well. I’ll provide the best information tailored to your area to help you choose the right option.

How do I know what solar panels are best?

When comparing solar panels, consider these key factors:

  • Efficiency: Higher efficiency panels convert more sunlight into electricity.
  • Durability: Panels should withstand harsh weather and require minimal maintenance.
  • Warranty: A strong warranty protects your investment and ensures long-term performance.
  • Brand reputation: Choose reputable brands with proven reliability.
  • Cost: Balance price with efficiency, durability, and warranty for the best value.

Good systems come with a 25-year warranty, and I’ll help you navigate all the details to find the best fit for your home.

Will going solar help reduce my electric bill?

Yes, going solar can reduce your electric bill. Solar panels generate electricity from the sun, reducing your reliance on utility companies and often drastically lowering monthly bills.

Your savings depend on your system size, electricity usage, and local rates. Many areas offer net metering, allowing you to earn credits for excess energy sent back to the grid, further reducing costs. Overall, solar is a smart way to cut reliance on traditional utilities and save on electric bills.
