Can I put solar panels on my roof or on my property?

The type, age, and condition of your roof will be a factor. We will evaluate your roof to determine this. There may be other areas where solar panels can be installed on your property, too.

How does “net metering” work?

Net metering is when your electric company gives you credit for the power that you produce with your solar energy systems. The energy you produce will be used by you first, and all excess will be essentially stored in the grid for when you need it. If you generate more power than you use, some companies pay you back.

Do solar panels require a lot of maintenance?

Solar panels are expected to last 30+ years! Generally, there is no maintenance required. General cleaning is needed periodically. Maintenance does not increase over time.

How do solar panels and solar technology work?

Solar panels harness energy through the use of photovoltaics. Energy from the sun is converted for household electricity use via a solar inverter. Go to our Solar 101 page to learn more about Solar Technology.
