Federal Tax Credit

What is the Federal tax credit for solar systems?

Congress passed an extension of the investment tax credit, raising it to 30% of the system cost, until 2032.

Power Outage

Can solar panels work during a power outage?

Solar panels alone cannot power your home during a power outage. However, with the addition of a battery storage system, you can store excess energy generated by your panels and use it to power your home during an outage.

Net Metering

What is net metering?

Net metering is a billing arrangement that allows you to receive credit on your utility bill for excess energy generated by your solar panels. This credit can be used to offset the cost of energy you use from the grid.

Roof

What if I need to replace my roof?

If you need to replace your roof, solar panels will need to be removed and reinstalled. Our team can assist with this process and ensure that your panels are properly reinstalled.

Climate

Will solar panels work in cloudy or cold climates?

Solar panels can still generate electricity in cloudy or cold climates, although their efficiency may be slightly reduced compared to sunny and warm regions. However, even in less ideal conditions, solar energy can still contribute significantly to your electricity needs. Solar panels are designed to capture both direct and diffuse sunlight, meaning they can generate power even on cloudy days.

Benefits

What are the benefits of switching to solar energy?

Solar energy offers numerous benefits including significant reductions in electric bills, increased property values, and a lower carbon footprint. It provides a clean, renewable source of energy that can help reduce reliance on fossil fuels and promote environmental sustainability.

Cost

How much does a solar panel system cost?

The cost of a solar panel system varies based on the size of your home, the type of panels used, and other factors. However, various financing options like leases, loans, and incentives can make solar energy accessible and affordable. We provide personalized quotes to meet your specific needs and budget.

Save

Can I really save money with solar panels?

Yes, most homeowners see a significant decrease in their energy bills. The amount you save will depend on several factors including your energy usage and the size of your solar system. Additionally, with net metering, you may earn credits for excess energy produced by your panels.

Incentive

What incentives are available for solar energy installation?

There are various federal, state, and local incentives available which can include tax credits, rebates, and grants. The federal solar tax credit, for example, allows you to deduct a percentage of the cost of installing a solar energy system from your federal taxes.

Longevity

How long do solar panels last?

Solar panels are designed to be durable and manufacturers typically offer warranties of 25 to 30 years. However, panels can continue to produce electricity well beyond their warranty periods, often up to 40 years or more.

Maintenance

Do solar panels require a lot of maintenance?

Solar panels require very little maintenance. They need to be kept relatively clean, so occasional cleaning to remove any dust, debris, or snow is recommended. Monitoring systems can alert you to any performance issues, which are generally rare.

Eligibility

Will solar panels work on my property?

Solar panels are versatile but their effectiveness can depend on factors such as roof condition, orientation, and shading. We offer a free site assessment to determine if your property is suitable for solar panels and how you can get the most out of your installation.

Outage

What happens during a power outage?

Typically, grid-tied solar systems will shut down during a power outage for safety reasons. However, solar systems equipped with battery storage can continue to provide power independently of the grid.

Financing

Is financing available for solar panel installation?

Yes, we offer various financing options to make solar panels affordable for homeowners. You are able to select the best option that fits your needs.
