FAQs

  • Solar panels convert sunlight into direct current (DC) electricity, which is then converted to alternating current (AC) by an inverter, making it usable in your home. Excess electricity can be sent back to the grid if your system supports net metering. Check out the video at the top of the page for more information.

  • Standard grid-tied solar systems automatically shut down during an outage to protect utility workers. However, systems with battery storage can continue to provide power during an outage, ensuring you have backup energy when you need it most.

  • The number of panels depends on your energy usage, capacity, and roof space. Once we have all the property details, we will recommend the number of panels that will be most suitable, depending on your roof space, roof orientation, and energy needs.

  • Yes, solar panels require minimal upkeep. Routine cleaning and occasional professional inspections are usually enough to ensure long-term efficiency and performance, with warranties often lasting 20-25 years

  • If you plan to move, there are a few options for your solar system. You can potentially include the solar installation in the sale of your home, often increasing its value. Alternatively, some solar providers offer options to transfer the system to your new residence or facilitate the system's sale separately.
