FAQ

Your Questions Answered

Got a question? Check out our answers below.  And if you don’t find what you’re looking for, ask us!

What are the financial benefits of solar energy?

A solar energy system increases the value of your home as well as reducing or eliminating your electric bill. You can also benefit from federal, state, and local tax incentives, and in some cases, you might even qualify for property tax reductions. And it helps to protect you from future rate increases by your utility company. 

What is net metering? 

Net metering is the system the utility company uses to apply solar credits on the bills of the homeowners for overproduction from their solar system. These credits offset dollar for dollar what the customer would have paid to the utility for energy supplied. With net metering, you only pay for electricity that you use above and beyond what your solar system generates.

Can I afford to go solar?

As you already pay an electric bill, you can certainly afford to use solar power. With $0 upfront cost for the installation, you will start saving money on your electric bill right away. In the longer term, tax incentives also make solar power more attractive. 

Will solar increase my property value?

A study conducted by Berkeley National Labs for the US Department of Energy examined 200,000 homes across eight states. It found that homes with solar were more attractive to buyers and added up to 20% to the home’s value. 

Does solar generate electricity at night?

While solar systems cannot generate electricity at night, you will still have power. Electricity storage batteries are not permitted in New York City because of safety and infrastructure concerns, so a system of net metering is in place. This means that during the day, the excess electricity that your system produces is sent to the grid. Then at night when your system is not producing, you receive free electricity in exchange. 

Will my system still produce electricity if there’s a power outage?

For safety reasons, your system will shut down when there’s a power outage. Excess electricity being sent to the grid during an outage could risk the safety of workers or cause other problems. 

How much electricity coverage should I get compared to my monthly electricity usage?

Over the next 25 years of your solar system’s life, power production will decline slightly. Therefore, you should aim for 10% more coverage than you initially need to compensate for this decrease. 

If you’re thinking of getting an electric car or your circumstances could change in the future, it’s best to let us know before we design your system so we can accommodate any potential changes.

Can you fix my roof or provide other services while installing solar?

Yes, we can repair or replace your roof if needed. We can also relocate your electric box or perform an electrical panel upgrade, and we can trim or remove privately owned trees (not city trees). 

Why should I choose your company instead of hiring the installer myself?

You can hire the installer yourself, but it will generally cost more and you will be responsible for organizing everything and sorting out any problems that arise. With our service, we get you the best deal possible, and we look after all the details so you don’t have to worry about a thing. We also provide ongoing support after installation to ensure that everything runs smoothly. 

What are the environmental benefits of solar energy?

Solar power is a clean, renewable resource that helps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. More renewable power means less dependence on fossil fuels, which in turn means cleaner air and a healthier environment. 

How do I know what size solar electric system my home needs?

Each household’s needs are different, so we begin by assessing your electric bill. Once we determine your annual usage, we use satellite imagery to calculate the size of your roof. With this information, we are able to customize a system that will suit your needs. 

Should I buy or lease my solar power system?

Both buying and leasing have benefits and will save you a ton of money. If you are interested in maximizing the financial returns of your solar energy system, buying the system is probably a better option for you. However, if your priority is an easy, maintenance-free way to reduce your energy bills and help the environment, you could consider a solar lease.

Will I still receive an electric bill from the utility company?

Unless you are fully off the grid, you will receive a basic service charge from the utility company. Typically, the cost varies based on the utility, but it’s usually between $10-$20. The reason for this is because

1. If you are producing more power than you need, the extra power will be stored by the utility company on the grid and the meter keeps track of this.

2. If you need more power than your system generates, the grid will supply you with energy above and beyond what your system produces.

What happens when it’s cloudy?

Solar panels produce power based on the amount of sunlight they receive (they don’t need heat to work). Therefore, on a cloudy day, they produce less power, and no power at night. 

However, when designing your system, we use up-to-date weather and climate information to determine how much sun your solar installation is likely to receive. This means you can relax, knowing that even on cloudy days, your solar system is saving you money. 

What happens if I need more electricity after the solar panels are installed?

If your needs change (for example, you buy an electric car and you need more power), you can increase the size of your installation as long as your roof is suitable. The cost will be similar to a new installation.

 If your roof is unsuitable for an upgrade or you decide against it for some reason, you can still access extra power from the grid. 

How long does it take to install a solar system?

After we meet for a consultation, you can expect your system to be installed within the next 45-60 days (other companies often take 90 days or longer). 

On the day of installation, you can expect the work to take 8-10 hours (including installing railings if required).

What if I want to sell my house and move?

If you want to sell your home before your solar system repayments are complete, there are two simple options. 

1. Transfer the remaining balance to the new homeowner and they will be responsible for the repayments. 

2. Pay out the remaining balance and sell your home for a higher price because the new owner will not need to pay anything more for the solar system.

Is there a warranty?

Every solar system comes with a 25-year warranty, along with a 10-year warranty for roof leaks. If a problem arises, we will arrange with the installer to have it taken care of. 

 How long does the solar work before it needs to be replaced?

Solar has a long lifespan and could potentially work for a hundred years. However, after 25 years, you can expect to see an efficiency loss of 6.25%. Solar technology has not changed rapidly like other industries, and it is unlikely to become outdated.
