Frequently Asked Questions
Here are a few common questions and answers for your information
What Is The Free Personalized Home Energy Savings Analysis That Is Being Offered?
It’s a very detailed historical analysis of your home’s electrical consumption based on the yearly usage reported by your utility provider. We analyze your current energy situation & usage and project exactly what kind of savings you can expect.
With this information, obtained from your current utility bill, we can correctly size the equipment required for you to switch from dirty fossil fuel power (fuel,coal, gas, etc) to Solar. So instead of paying more money (to a monopoly, your current utility provider) for dirty fossil fuel power, we can switch you over to clean, sun energy (that lasts forever) at ZERO cost to you.
You can literally start saving money and you can switch with ZERO upfront (or hidden) costs. Remember, you’re not making any big commitments today when you request the free analysis …You’re just requesting some free information about the customized home energy analysis.
And if you do decide to move forward to converting your home to solar, the complete system, permits, installation, activation and warranty is done without any out of pocket money. We look forward to meeting you and helping you determine just how much money you can start saving when you switch to solar (at ZERO cost to you)
What Happens If I Have To Sell My Home?
You make your home more sell-able if you have installed a solar system for several reasons:
- A residential solar system can increase your home’s value
- The new owners will enjoy the fixed electricity monthly payment locked when you bought the solar system (regardless how much price increase the neighbors are paying!)
- The remaining credit payments will be taken over by the new owners, like you, they replace paying for the utility by paying the solar equipment
- The surplus of generated electricity will be paid back to the new owners by the electricity provider just as they paid you
Why should I choose solar as my energy source?
Solar power is both cost-effective and sustainable.
In many locations, the cost of solar energy is already lower than buying from the grid.
Solar is freely available and abundant. The amount of power from the sun that strikes the Earth in just an hour is more than the amount of power consumed by the whole world in a year.
Will My System Need Maintenance?
Solar is a simple, minimum-maintenance technology. Unlike other energy technologies, solar PV contains no moving parts. This means it’s not likely your equipment will fail. You should not have to replace your panels at all during their lifetime. Wiring is the part of solar PV that most commonly requires maintenance because squirrels and other animals may tamper with it. Even in those cases, damage tends to be minimal. Solar panels do not need to be washed, as rain and snow naturally clean them. We do not recommend climbing up to your panels to wash them.
How do I get compensated for the electricity I produce?
Typically, you are compensated for your solar production by net metering. Net Metering allows solar energy generators to offset their energy consumption with their energy production. When your solar panels produce more electricity than you’re using on site, the excess electricity is sent out to the local grid. When this happens, your electric meter runs backwards, crediting you for this contribution. When you’re using more electricity than your system is generating, your electric meter runs forward, pulling the necessary extra electricity from the grid. At the end of the month, your final electric utility bill is your total usage minus the electricity that your solar panels produced. In the majority of cases we can design the solar systems to produce a little more than what you consume thus you get paid instead of having to pay!
What does the 30 Year Included Insurance Cover?
Our Extended Warranty Program assumes up to 100% of the risk for your solar arrays for all mechanical and electrical failures due to normal use, even beyond the manufacture’s warranty.
- 100% Parts & Labor
- Zero deductibles
- You own the policy
- Automatically transferable ownership to new homeowner
- Backed by “A” rated Company
You have Complete Peace Of Mind knowing your solar investment is protected
This is ONLY one of the few key differences that we provide compared to our solar competition … because we only use the best possible equipment & parts we can offer an extended 5 years of what the 25 years that the competition offers.
We offer 30 years of 100% complete protection for your solar investment!! (We are the only Solar Company that offer this!!)
Reasons to go solar now:
Increased electricity prices cut into savings
If you wait to go solar, you’re stuck paying your utility electricity bill every month, which can be an increasingly expensive proposition: electricity prices have risen almost 9% on average in the last 10 years, and depending on where you live, could increase by another two or three percent per year.
Financial incentives will be reduced as the popularity of solar grows
While there are significant rebates, tax credits and other incentives in place to encourage homeowners to go solar, incentives programs usually get phased out as solar becomes more popular and costs decrease. The current federal renewable energy tax credit is 26 percent through 2020 – but after that point, it will be phased out for residential systems. On 2019 it was 30%, on 2021 it will phase down to 22% and on 2022 it will go down to Zero.
Financing options make going solar now easy
If you’re interested in going solar now but don’t want to put the cash on hand for an upfront purchase, there are still plenty of financing options available that make it possible to affordably install solar on your home. We can offer you a $0 cash down, so you won’t have to pay anything out of pocket and the monthly financing of the panels will be around what you are currently paying on your electricity bill (substitute the monthly electric bill for the monthly financing of the complete solar system).
While there is always some merit in waiting for costs to fall even further, make sure you’re accounting for your opportunity costs too.
