Frequently Asked Questions

Investing in solar energy can lower your monthly electricity bills, increase your home’s value, and reduce your carbon footprint. It’s a smart long-term financial decision that also contributes to a more sustainable future.

Solar energy is renewable, environmentally friendly, and can reduce dependence on fossil fuels. Unlike traditional energy sources, solar power doesn’t contribute to air pollution or greenhouse gas emissions, helping to protect the planet.

Yes, it’s possible for a house to run entirely on solar power, depending on the size of the solar system and local sunlight conditions. For consistent power, many homeowners also use energy storage systems like batteries to store excess energy for nighttime or cloudy days.

Yes, solar panels can save you money by reducing or eliminating your electricity bill. Over time, the savings from generating your own power can offset the initial installation costs and continue to save you money for years to come.

The timeline for installing solar panels typically takes 1-3 months from signing the contract to the system being fully operational. This includes permitting, system design, and installation, as well as any utility company approvals.

The Solar Tax Credit, also known as the Investment Tax Credit (ITC), allows you to deduct a percentage of the cost of installing a solar energy system from your federal taxes. This incentive helps reduce the upfront cost of going solar, making it more affordable.

If you're thinking of installing solar panels, it's important to know the temperature range that they'll work in. Solar panels generally have an operating temperature range of – 40 to 185 degrees Fahrenheit. This means that even in the hot Hawaiian sun, your solar panels should still be able to generate power.

Due to increased production, government subsidies, and mounting environmental concerns, the direct costs of solar and wind energy for consumers have decreased.

Solar panels produce no electricity at night. But they tend to produce extra power during the day when the sun is out. In order to balance things out, and keep the electricity running after dark, solar customers use either solar battery banks to store energy or net metering.

Yes! One of the most significant benefits of going solar is the boost in home value panels provide. Zillow estimates that your home value will jump by around 4.1 percent when you go solar.

Solar panels pay for themselves over time by saving you money on electricity bills, and in some cases, earning you money through ongoing incentive payments. Solar panel payback time can range between 5 and 15 years in the United States, depending on where you live.

Solar panels typically last between 25 to 30 years, with many systems continuing to generate electricity beyond that period at a slightly reduced efficiency. Most manufacturers offer warranties that guarantee performance for 20-25 years, ensuring reliable energy production throughout their lifespan.
