Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Solar panels convert sunlight into electricity using photovoltaic (PV) cells. When sunlight hits the panels, it generates direct current (DC) electricity, which is then converted into usable alternating current (AC) by an inverter. That electricity powers your home or business.

Yes. While solar panels are most efficient in full sunlight, they still generate electricity on cloudy days and during winter months. The system is designed to work year-round and is most effective when tailored to your local climate and energy needs.

Most solar panels come with a 25–30 year performance warranty and can last even longer with proper maintenance. The system’s inverter typically needs replacement after 10–15 years.

Once permits and approvals are in place, installation typically takes 1–3 days. The full process—from initial consultation to system activation—usually takes 4–8 weeks, depending on permitting and utility approvals.

If your roof is in poor condition or near the end of its lifespan, we may recommend replacing it before installation. We can assess your roof during the consultation and coordinate with trusted roofing partners if needed.

No. When installed by professionals, solar panels can actually help protect the roof beneath. Our team ensures all mounting hardware is sealed and installed to meet industry standards.

Solar systems are generally low-maintenance. Occasional cleaning and inspections are recommended to ensure optimal performance. We offer maintenance services to keep your system running efficiently.

Most solar panels have a 25-year performance warranty. Inverters typically carry a 10-15 year warranty, and our workmanship is covered for up to 10 years (varies by package).

Yes. We offer flexible financing options including solar loans, leases, and power purchase agreements (PPAs). Our team will help you choose the best option for your budget.

Yes. The federal solar tax credit (ITC) allows you to deduct up to 30% of your system’s cost from your taxes. State and local incentives may also be available—we’ll help you understand what you qualify for.

Yes. Studies show that homes with solar energy systems typically sell faster and for more than comparable non-solar homes.

Absolutely. Our systems include real-time monitoring apps that let you track energy production, usage, and system status from your smartphone or computer.

Savings vary depending on your system size, energy usage, and local rates—but many customers save 50–100% on their electric bills. We provide a custom estimate during your consultation.

Unless your system includes battery storage, your solar system will shut off during a power outage for safety reasons. With a battery backup, you can continue powering essential appliances when the grid goes down.
