If you’re considering the installation of solar panels, our team of experienced solar advisors will carefully evaluate your location and energy requirements. By doing so, we can accurately determine the optimal number of panels needed to generate the desired amount of electricity for your specific home or business.
If your solar panel system is connected to the grid, it will shut off in the event of a blackout. This is to prevent emergency responders and electricity utility repair-people from being injured by your panels sending power back to the grid. However, there are certain inverters you can buy that provide backup power in a blackout when paired with a battery.
Once permits have been approved and your installation is scheduled, the installation of the solar equipment itself is the quickest part of the process. Most solar installers can install a rooftop residential solar panel installation in one to three days, depending on how many panels you’re installing and how complicated the installation is.
Unless your solar energy system includes battery storage and you are fully off the grid, you will still receive a bill from your utility. The cost will depend on your usage, utility, system size, and more. However, you can dramatically reduce your bill, or even cut the amount you owe to $0, with a solar panel system that matches your energy use.
Studies have shown that homes with solar energy systems sell for more than homes without them. However, your property value will only increase if you own, rather than lease, your solar panel system. In most parts of the country, going solar will actually increase your property value more than a kitchen renovation.
Southerly-facing roofs with little to no shade and enough space to fit a solar panel system are ideal for installing solar.
