FAQ
You have questions, we have answers. Some of the most commonly asked questions are answered below.
Do I need a new roof to install solar panels or solar shingles?
No, a new roof is not required to install solar panels or solar shingles. However, it is recommended. Installing a new roof at the same time as your solar system can provide stronger warranties for both, ensuring optimal performance and longevity for your solar installation.
Will solar energy really pay for itself?
Yes, over time. The savings on your monthly electric bills will add up to offset the initial investment in your solar system. Additionally, federal tax credits and state or local business incentives can significantly reduce upfront costs, enhancing the financial benefits of going solar.
Will my electricity change when the sun goes down, or during cloudy and rainy weather?
No, your electricity will remain consistent. Solar panels and shingles collect energy throughout the day, even in cloudy conditions. This energy is stored in an optional lithium-ion battery, and/or net metering is utilized, providing a steady supply of electricity regardless of the weather. Additionally, rain helps keep your solar panels clean by washing away dirt and dust, which can enhance their efficiency.
Will I save money on my electricity bill?
Yes, you can save money on your electricity bill! Actual savings depend on factors such as energy usage, location, utility company, tiered pricing, electricity regulations, and available incentives.
Am I eligible for tax credits?
Eligibility for tax credits varies based on your location and circumstances. To find out what solar incentives are available in your area, check with your tax advisor and local business utility company.
