FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Here are the top questions our clients ask before getting started.
How do solar panels work?
A photovoltaic (PV) solar energy system is composed of solar panels, racking for mounting the panels on the roof, electrical wiring, and an inverter. From sunrise to sunset, the solar panels generate direct current electricity (DC) which is sent to the inverter. The inverter converts the DC into alternating current (AC), the type of electricity required for household use.
How much will I actually save on my electric bill?
This question determines the real financial benefit. The solar system will cover a portion of the electricity you use, but not all of it, so it will lower your electricty bill by over $100
Will installation damage my roof?
Second, any holes we drill during solar panel installation are sealed and covered for protection. And third, we are so conscientious about our solar installs that any hole we make in your roof is warrantied by us for 25 years against leaks!
How long do solar panels last and what maintenance is required?
This question addresses long-term reliability and ongoing costs. Most home solar power systems have a lifespan of between 25 and 30 years, with manufacturers typically guaranteeing that after 25 years panels will generate about 80% of their original electricity output. Families need to understand the long-term commitment and any ongoing responsibilities.
Will solar panels increase my home's value?
This question addresses the investment aspect beyond just energy savings. If you own your solar energy system, your house will likely sell at a premium, possibly as much as $24,000 more. Studies show home buyers are willing to pay a premium of about $15,000 more for a home with an average-sized solar array
