FAQ
Your Questions. Answered.
How much does a solar system cost?
The cost varies based on your energy usage, roof size, and panel selection. On average, residential systems range from $15,000 to $35,000 before incentives. After the 30% federal tax credit, most homeowners pay significantly less. We provide free, custom quotes with no obligation—so you’ll know exactly what to expect.
Do you offer financing or payment plans?
Yes! We partner with multiple lenders to offer:
-
$0 down solar loans with low monthly payments
-
Cash purchase for maximum long-term savings
-
Leases and PPAs with no upfront cost (where available)
We also help you navigate the 30% federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC) and state-specific incentives.
How long does installation take?
Most residential installations are completed in 1 to 3 days once permits are approved. The full process—from site survey to final inspection and grid connection—typically takes 4 to 8 weeks, depending on your local utility and municipality timelines.
Do you handle permits and paperwork?
Absolutely. We manage every step of the administrative process:
-
Local building permits
-
HOA approvals (if applicable)
-
Utility interconnection applications
-
Incentive and rebate paperwork
You don’t have to make a single phone call to the city or utility—we handle it all.
What happens during a power outage?
Without a battery, your solar system will shut off during an outage for safety reasons. With our battery storage solutions, your system automatically disconnects from the grid and powers your home using stored energy. We install systems from Tesla, Enphase, and Generac for seamless backup.
Do you offer warranties?
Yes, we stand behind our work:
-
25-year warranty on solar panels (manufacturer)
-
10 to 15-year warranty on inverters and batteries
-
10-year workmanship warranty on our installation labor
-
Ongoing performance monitoring to catch issues early
