Frequently Asked Questions
1) How do I know if I am a good fit for Solar?
The best way to know if solar is the right fit for you is for one of our solar consultants to contact you directly to go over your energy portfolio. They will begin by asking these 2 main questions, to which you will need to answer yes in order to proceed.
1. Are you the homeowner?
2. Is your roof in good condition?
2) How much does it cost to go solar?
Our solar consultant will give you a free estimate. Every home uses a different amount of consumption. We will customize a system based on the amount of electricity you use on a daily and monthly basis. That will determine how many panels you will need, which will give you the total cost to go solar. It will always cost $0 to get started.
3) How will solar work with my utility provider?
When your home produces solar energy, your utility company will provide you with a credit on your monthly statement. The utility provider will update your electric meter to track the production of your solar array. Depending on your utility company they will provide a one-to-one credit for what your system produces.
4) What is the Solar Tax Credit?
The federal solar tax credit, formally known as the solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC), is a credit equal to 26% of the qualified system costs of installing a photovoltaic (PV) solar system. The ITC was established as a part of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 in an effort to boost the US renewable energy market.
How does it work?
The total value of the solar tax credit can easily be calculated by taking 26 percent of the solar system installation cost. There is no limit to the value of the credit.
5) How exactly do I save money with Solar?
Solar energy has emerged as one of the most cost-effective sources of electricity in recent years. Thanks to declining prices of solar panels and the availability of federal credits, the overall expense of solar power is notably lower compared to traditional utility companies. Moreover, any surplus energy produced can be transmitted back to the utility grid, allowing you to accumulate energy credits for usage during the evening hours.
6) Is Solar a Scam?
No, Solar power in of itself is not a scam. The solar panels indeed produce precisely what the label promises, and all customers who opt for a reputable installation company experience significant savings on their electricity bills. As with any industry, there will always be a few bad apples that tarnish the reputation of the majority. It is essential to conduct thorough research and select the right installation partner to ensure a successful solar experience.
