Significant Energy Cost Savings Solar panels reduce or eliminate electricity bills, providing immediate savings that increase as utility rates rise. Most systems pay for themselves within 5-10 years while generating free electricity for decades.
Environmentally Friendly Energy Solution - Solar energy produces zero emissions during operation. The average residential system offsets about 100,000 pounds of carbon dioxide over its lifetime.
Increased Property Value - Homes with solar panels typically sell faster and for 3-4% higher prices than comparable non-solar homes, making them more attractive to environmentally conscious buyers.

All the big questions, answered

How much will I save with solar panels?

Your savings depend on your current electricity costs, system size, and local sunlight conditions. Most homeowners save between 50-90% on their electricity bills, with many achieving complete elimination of electric bills. With rising utility costs, your savings typically increase over time, resulting in tens of thousands of dollars saved over the system's lifetime.

What happens during power outages?

Standard grid-tied solar systems will shut down during power outages for safety reasons. However, adding battery storage to your system allows you to store excess energy and use it during outages, providing energy independence and peace of mind during emergencies.

How long do solar panels last?

Quality solar panels typically last 25-30 years and come with warranties to match. While efficiency may decrease slightly over time (about 0.5% annually), most systems continue producing significant energy even after their warranty period. The inverter may need replacement after 10-15 years, but the panels themselves are extremely durable.

Do I need to maintain my solar panels?

Solar panels require minimal maintenance. Occasional cleaning (2-4 times per year) to remove dust and debris helps maintain optimal efficiency, but many systems perform well with just natural rainfall cleaning. We recommend an annual professional inspection to ensure all components are functioning properly.

How long does installation take?

For most residential installations, the actual mounting and connection of your solar system takes just 1-3 days. However, the complete process—including site assessment, design, permitting, and final utility approval—typically takes 2-3 months from start to finish.

Will solar panels work in my area?

Solar panels work effectively in all 50 states, even in cloudy or northern regions. While maximum sunshine ensures optimal production, modern panel efficiency means solar is viable almost everywhere. During your free consultation, we'll analyse your roof orientation, shading, and local weather patterns to provide accurate production estimates for your specific location.
