FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
By choosing solar-powered backup power, you’re not just preparing for emergencies—you’re investing in a cleaner, more resilient energy future. Let’s power your home, no matter what!
Q: What is the process for going solar?
A: After you complete your solar panel purchase, we will forward your paperwork to our trusted installer partner. Our project team and the Installer will then work together to customize your design plan and begin the installation process. Once the system is installed and connected to the grid, you can start enjoying the benefits of solar energy and begin saving on your energy bills!
Q: How long will the installation process take?
A: The length of the installation process can vary depending on factors such as the size of the system, location, and utility company. On average, the installation process takes between 2 to 4 months from start to finish. Our team will work closely with you throughout the process to ensure that everything is completed as efficiently and quickly as possible.
Q: Will solar panels affect the value of my home?
A: Absolutely! According to recent reports, solar panels can increase the value of your home right away. In addition to saving you money on energy bills, solar panels are an attractive feature for homebuyers who are looking for homes with sustainable and eco-friendly features. By installing solar panels on your home, you can potentially increase its resale value and make it a more attractive option for potential buyers.
Q: What happens to the system if I Move?
A: If you own your solar panel system, you can relocate it or include it in your home’s value. If you leased the system, you can pay it off and take it with you or transfer it to the new homeowner. You can also include the payoff amount in your listing price.
Q: Can I store excess energy generated by my solar panels?
A: Yes, you can store excess energy generated by your solar panels by installing a solar storage battery. If your system includes a battery, any excess energy produced will be sent there for later use. However, if your system does not have a battery, excess energy will be sent to the utility grid until sundown and credited to your next billing cycle.
Q: Can solar panels be added later?
A: If your roof has the room for additional panels, you can install more panels!
Q: What happens during a power outage or bad weather?
During a power outage or bad weather, your solar system will shut off automatically for safety reasons. This is because it’s not safe to send power out to the grid while workers are attempting to fix the power outage. Although weather conditions such as rain and snow can affect system production, solar panels will still continue to produce energy on a cloudy or foggy day.
