Most homes can offset 100% of their usage or more using solar and/or batteries. But what if you don’t have much roof space or cant afford full offset? This is actually a common problem and it is not to worry. Most of our systems are tied to the power grid so that you will always have energy no matter what your solar is producing. If you are lucky to get 100% of energy or more then you will have to pay a small interconnection fee every month to access the grid(credits can pay for it eventually) but NO POWER BILL. You could even get paid for extra energy that you don’t use. If you have less than 100% offset, you will have a much smaller bill than before. Either way you will save a lot for not renting all of your energy from power company. 

With Grid-Tied Solar, you don’t technically need a battery for system to work. You are using the grid as a battery pretty much. Batteries still add tons of savings on top of your solar but they aren’t needed and get more affordable every year. You can always add batteries later on too. Off-Grid Solar Systems require battery banks to store your unused solar energy, but dint worry, they are much smaller and nicer looking nowadays. 

We don’t require a certain roof age as long as it is a safe, sealed, and solid structure. With that being said we only offer warranties on roofs that have at least 5-10 years left on their life. It is always recommended that you have a new roof only for savings reasons. Removing and reinstalling panels for a reroof is an extra cost so a new roof would help you not have to pay that. Standing seam metal roofs are the best and we offer up to 15yr warranty being that we don’t have to puncture roof. 

You need a Bi-Directional electric meter once you go solar, so that the power company can measure how much you use AND produce. Currently the power companies have to pay for this upgrade NOT YOU! Take advantage of that $1000+ service for free now. 

Yes!! As of 12/2019 there is a Federal Tax Incentive worth 30% of system. That is pretty much 30% off your system within first year!! You have to get solar installed soon to take advantage of this credit as it is disappearing starting Dec 31st 2019. Next year it will be 26% and then 22% and then gone. Don’t miss out on this great opportunity to have the government and utilities pay for your solar. There are a few local incentives depending on your state.
