❓ Frequently Asked Questions
About Solar Panel Installation
The cost varies based on your system size, roof type, and equipment. Most homeowners spend between $15,000 and $30,000. Many customers save thousands — and we offer $0-down financing options to make it affordable.
✅ Yes — in most cases, solar significantly reduces your electric bill. Many homeowners save $1,000–$2,500+ per year and see a full return on investment in 6–10 years. After that, your electricity is virtually free for the life of the system.
The full process — from consultation to activation — typically takes 4–8 weeks. Actual installation only takes 1–2 days, depending on system size. We handle all permits, inspections, and utility approvals to keep things smooth.
If your roof is near the end of its life (typically 15+ years old), we recommend repairing or replacing it before installation. We can refer trusted roofers, or coordinate with your roofing contractor to install solar afterward — or even provide solar removal and reinstallation services in the future.
Not necessarily. A grid-tied system without batteries can save you money and offset your energy use. But if you want backup power during outages, you’ll need a battery system like Tesla Powerwall or Enphase IQ Battery. We install both!
Very little! Solar systems have no moving parts and are built to last 25+ years. We recommend:
- Occasional panel cleaning (especially in dusty or low-rain areas)
- Annual system performance checks (which we offer as a service)
- Monitoring your system online or via app to ensure it's working correctly
- 25-year panel performance warranties
- 10–25 year inverter warranties, depending on brand
- Workmanship & roof penetration warranty on every installation
- Ongoing support from our in-house team
Yes — multiple studies show that solar increases home resale value. Buyers love the idea of lower utility bills, and in many cases, homes with solar sell faster and for more.
✅ Yes — with IQ8 microinverters, your system can still function in an outage even without a battery, as long as the sun is shining and you have the Enphase Sunlight Backup system set up.
For complete peace of mind during both day and night outages, we recommend adding battery backup.
With Enphase IQ8 grid-forming microinverters, you don’t need a battery for limited backup. The system can form its own microgrid and keep essential appliances running during a daytime outage, without batteries.
However, for full home backup and nighttime coverage, pairing solar with Enphase IQ Battery is still recommended — and we install both.
