Solar FAQs
Short, plain-English answers to the questions we hear most—plus links to deeper dives on benefits, incentives, off-grid, and EV charging.
Incentives & Tax Credits
Are there tax or other incentives for solar and batteries?
There are federal and state incentives that may apply to
commercial installations depending on your situation. A tax
professional can confirm eligibility. Unfortunately,
residential incentives are going away January of 2026. We’ll
help you identify all applicable incentives, rebates, and
potential grants as part of your quote. If you have
questions,
contact us.
Benefits & Savings
What are the main benefits of switching to solar?
Lower monthly costs, predictable long-term rates, backup
during outages with batteries, increased property appeal,
and the option to fuel EVs at home. Dive deeper on our
Benefits of Solar page.
Costs & Pricing
How much do solar panels (a system) cost?
Total cost depends on system size, equipment, roof
conditions, and any add-ons like batteries or EV chargers.
We’re transparent about pricing and provide a tailored
estimate—no pressure. Start with an
instant quote, then we’ll fine-tune it to your site.
Lifespan & Warranty
How long do solar panels last?
Most panels carry 25–30 year performance warranties and can
keep producing well beyond that with proper care. We’ll
match equipment to your goals and site for long-term
performance.
Roof & Mounting
Do solar panels work on my roof type?
We install on asphalt shingles, metal, tile, and flat roofs.
If rooftop isn’t ideal, a ground mount may be a better fit.
We’ll assess and recommend the best design for your
property.
Production & Weather
How much electricity will my panels generate? What about cloudy days or at night?
Output depends on roof orientation, shading, system size,
and local weather. Production is lower on cloudy days and
zero at night. With batteries, you can store daytime solar
to use after dark or during outages.
Maintenance & Monitoring
How do I maintain a solar system?
Maintenance is typically light—occasional rinsing with water
and a soft cloth to remove dust or debris. We actively
monitor our installs and will reach out if we detect issues,
then help you troubleshoot.
