## How Solar Installation Works
1. **Free assessment:** Use our online form or call us to schedule a free consultation. We gather information about your energy consumption, roof type and goals.
2. **Design & proposal:** Our engineers design a system that maximises energy production and provide a detailed proposal outlining equipment, cost, incentives and estimated savings.
3. **Permits & incentives:** We handle permit applications and help you apply for federal tax credits and local incentives. We also work with your utility company to obtain approval for grid interconnection.
4. **Installation:** On installation day, our licensed team installs mounting hardware, panels, inverters and any optional battery. We ensure all wiring and connections meet local codes and manufacturer requirements. Most installations are completed in 1–3 days depending on system size.
5. **Inspection & activation:** After installation, we arrange final inspections. Once your system is approved, we activate it and demonstrate how to monitor your production. You can begin saving on electricity immediately.
## Types of Solar Systems
**Grid‑tied (no battery):** Your solar panels produce electricity that powers your home during the day; excess energy is exported to the grid via net metering. Best for homeowners who want to reduce bills but don’t need backup power.
**Grid‑tied with battery storage:** Combines solar panels with a battery like Tesla Powerwall. Excess energy charges the battery; you can use stored energy during peak rates or outages. Best for those seeking energy independence, protection from outages or time‑of‑use rate savings.
**Off‑grid:** Solar panels, battery storage and generator create a standalone power system. Ideal for remote locations without utility access. Best for homes without reliable grid access; requires larger battery bank.
## Financing & Incentives
Installing solar is an investment, but there are numerous programs that make it more affordable:
– **Federal tax credit:** The Investment Tax Credit (ITC) allows you to deduct a percentage of your system cost from your federal taxes. The credit rate may vary, so consult current year guidelines.
– **State and local incentives:** Many states offer rebates, property tax exemptions or performance payments. Our team will identify programs in your area and handle paperwork.
– **Solar loans & financing:** We partner with trusted lenders to provide loan options and $0‑down financing. We can compare loan terms and help you choose the right plan for your budget.
– **Net metering:** Excess energy your system produces is credited back to your bill. Policies vary by state; we will explain how it works in your utility service area.
## Frequently Asked Questions
**How much does a home solar system cost?** Costs depend on system size, roof complexity, equipment and location. A typical residential system ranges from $15,000 to $25,000 before incentives. Our proposal will outline all costs and available rebates.
**What is the payback period?** On average, homeowners can reduce electricity bills by roughly 50%. Depending on energy rates and incentives, payback periods range from 5 to 10 years.
**How long does installation take?** Permitting and design often take 2–4 weeks. Installation itself usually takes 1–3 days, followed by a utility inspection before activation.
**Does solar work during a power outage?** Standard grid‑tied systems do not provide power during outages for safety reasons. Adding a battery (e.g., Tesla Powerwall) allows you to use stored energy when the grid is down.
**Do I need to clean my solar panels?** Solar panels are low‑maintenance. Rain usually removes dirt; however, if you live in a dusty area, occasional cleaning may improve performance. We can recommend maintenance services if needed.
