Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about our solar energy systems, installation process, and maintenance services.

How much can I save with a solar rooftop system?

Savings depend on your current electricity usage, the size of the system you install, and local utility rates. On average, our customers see their electricity bills reduced by 50% to 90%. Over the lifespan of the system, this can amount to thousands of dollars in savings.

Do solar panels work during cloudy days or at night?

Solar panels still generate electricity on cloudy days, though at a reduced capacity compared to direct sunlight. At night, solar panels do not produce energy. However, if you install a Battery Storage system, you can use the excess energy stored during the day to power your home at night.

What is the difference between Rooftop and Ground-Mounted systems?

Rooftop systems are installed directly on your building's roof, making excellent use of existing space and typically costing less to install. Ground-mounted systems are installed on open land and can be oriented at the perfect angle for maximum sun exposure, making them ideal for properties with large energy needs and available space.

What is Net Metering and how does it work?

Net metering is a billing mechanism that credits solar energy system owners for the electricity they add to the grid. If your panels produce more electricity than your home uses during the day, the excess is sent to the grid, and you receive a credit on your utility bill, which offsets the power you pull from the grid at night.

Are there any government subsidies or tax incentives available?

Yes, depending on your region and local government policies, there are often tax credits, rebates, and subsidies available to encourage solar adoption. These can significantly reduce your upfront installation costs. Our team will guide you through the available incentives in your area.

What is the lifespan of a solar panel system?

High-quality solar panels are highly durable and designed to last 25 to 30 years or more. While their energy production efficiency may slightly decrease over time (usually less than 0.5% per year), they will continue to produce a significant amount of electricity for decades. Most panels come with a 25-year performance warranty.

Will installing solar panels damage my roof?

No, when installed correctly by professionals, solar panels will not damage your roof. In fact, they can protect the portion of the roof they cover from weather elements like rain, snow, and UV light. Before installation, our team assesses your roof's condition to ensure it is structurally sound to support the system.

What happens to my solar system during a power outage?

Standard grid-tied solar systems automatically shut off during a blackout. This is a mandatory safety feature to prevent your panels from sending electricity back to the grid and potentially injuring utility workers repairing the lines. However, if you have a Battery Storage system integrated, your home can seamlessly draw power from the batteries during an outage.

How much maintenance do solar systems require?

Solar systems require very little maintenance because there are no moving parts. Generally, keeping the panels clean from dust and debris is enough to maintain efficiency. We recommend a professional cleaning and visual inspection once a year. We offer dedicated maintenance packages to handle all of this for you.

How do I know what size solar system I need?

System size depends on your average energy consumption, the size of your roof, shading, and local weather patterns. Our energy experts will analyze your past electricity bills and conduct a site survey to design a custom system that perfectly matches your energy needs and budget.

How long does the installation process take?

The physical installation of the panels on your property usually takes just 1 to 3 days, depending on the system size. However, the entire process—including site assessment, custom design, permitting, and grid connection approvals—can take anywhere from a few weeks to a couple of months.
