General FAQs
Solar energy is a renewable energy source that converts sunlight into electricity using photovoltaic panels. The panels capture sunlight and convert it into direct current (DC), which is then converted into alternating current (AC) by an inverter to power your home or business.
The cost depends on factors like system size, location, and energy needs. On average, installations range from $20,000 to $60,000 or more. However, with the federal tax credit (ITC), you can save up to 30% of the total cost.
Most homes are suitable if they have adequate roof space and good sun exposure. Our team conducts a free evaluation to determine eligibility.
If your system includes a Tesla Powerwall or similar battery storage, you can use stored energy during outages. Standard grid-tied systems shut off for safety reasons.
Solar panels typically last 25-30 years, with warranties covering performance and defects during this period.
