FAQ About Solar Energy

Check our frequently asked questions below. If you still have questions, feel free to contact us.

What happens if I sell my home?

If you sell your home, you can either transfer the reduced solar payments to the new homeowners or buy out the system and include it in the sale price of your home. It is important to evaluate which is the best cost option for you please consult with us.

Do you give after sale support?

Yes, we offer after-sale support. Our customer service team is easy to reach and available to help you with any questions or issues that you may have after your solar panel system is installed. We also include complementary warranties on all of your equipment to ensure that you are protected in case anything goes wrong.

What is Net Metering?

Net metering is a billing arrangement with your local utility company that allows you to earn credits for excess solar energy that you generate and send back to the grid. These credits can be used to offset the cost of electricity that you use from the grid when your solar panels are not producing enough energy. Please check in with your utility company's specific programs, keep in mind that programs may have a limited time for enrollment.

Does your system include panel-level monitoring?

Yes, our systems include panel-level monitoring. This allows us to monitor the performance of each individual panel and ensure that your system is operating at peak efficiency. We have a dedicated team to monitor your system 24/7. We will typically know there is an issue before the homeowner.

What happens if I do not qualify for the 30% federal tax credit?

If you’re not eligible for the federal tax credit, you can still benefit from going solar with a PPA or lease. This is a great option for those who do not carry the tax liability to do a traditional purchase. You’ll still be able to significantly reduce the cost of your electricity bill, with the additional benefit of no maintenance costs for the entire period!

What if my insurance company does not cover solar panels?

In Florida, while some insurers might not cover solar panels, most national companies like State Farm and Allstate do. Solar panels usually fall under property/dwelling coverage, but specific solar coverage could potentially raise your premium. Yet, system savings often offset this. If leasing, the solar company insures the panels and will cover almost all liabilities. Always review your policy and inform your provider about your solar installation

How does Solar affect my property value

According to a study by Zillow, solar panels raise a home’s value by 4.1% across the U.S., which is a boost of $9,274 on a $226,300 home. Another study found that homes with solar panels sell for four percent higher than those without them.

Will I still receive an electricity bill after I get solar on my home?

This will vary from home to home. This will depend on your usage vs your production of your system. If you use more power than your solar system produces, you'll receive a bill. However, with net metering, and you use less, you may be credited if you produce more electricity than you consume.

What happens at night, rainy, or cloudy days?

Solar panels produce less electricity on cloudy/rainy days and none at night. However, with net metering, you can use the electricity generated on sunny days to offset your energy use during off-peak times.

What happens if there's a power outage?

If you have a grid-tied system without a battery, your system will shut down during an outage. If you have a battery backup or a hybrid system, you can still have power during outages.

How long do solar panels last?

Solar panels typically have a lifespan of 40-50 years, but they can continue to produce electricity beyond that, albeit at a slightly reduced efficiency.
