FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How does residential solar work?
Solar panels capture sunlight and convert it into electricity that can be used to power your home. Any excess energy can be stored in a battery system or, in some cases, sent back to the utility grid.
Will solar eliminate my electric bill?
Not always. The amount you save depends on factors such as your home's energy usage, roof orientation, system size, and utility rates. Many homeowners significantly reduce their monthly energy costs, while some achieve near net-zero electricity consumption.
How long do solar panels last?
Most modern solar panels are designed to last 25 years or longer. Many systems continue producing electricity well beyond their warranty period with only gradual decreases in performance.
Can solar power my entire home?
It depends on your home's energy consumption and the size of the system installed. Some homeowners choose to offset a portion of their energy usage, while others install systems designed to meet most or all of their annual electricity needs.
Do I need a battery with solar?
Not necessarily. Solar panels can provide significant savings on their own. However, battery storage adds the ability to store energy for later use, increase energy independence, and maintain power during outages.
Should I improve energy efficiency before installing solar?
Learn MoreIn many cases, yes. Addressing air leaks, insulation deficiencies, and other energy losses can reduce overall energy demand, allowing a solar system to operate more effectively and potentially reducing the size of the system needed.
