Frequently asked questions

Answer: There are a few reasons for switching to home solar. Home solar systems offer a clean, emissions-free, and renewable energy source. And unlike fossil fuels like natural gas and coal, home solar doesn’t release harmful pollutants or greenhouse gas emissions—like carbon dioxide—into the air and water supply.

• Solar panel and solar panel systems are increasingly affordable  – Residential solar power is more and more affordable, especially with the federal residential solar tax credit, which allows taxpayers to claim a 30% tax credit of the cost of the solar systems on their income taxes.
• Solar panels help residential home owners save money on utility bills – Solar power helps you save money on your monthly utility bill. As utility bills continually trend upward, solar power remains a good  way to save money for years to come.
• Solar panels allow you to keep the lights on when the grid goes down – Residential solar panel systems coupled with battery storage allow you to retain power when the electric grid goes down, and investing in battery story makes the most sense for families across the US.
• Solar panel systems increase the value of your home – Academic studies, including the Berkeley National Laboratory Study, discovered that the installation of photovoltaic panels is viewed as an upgrade, similar to a kitchen renovation or finished basement. 
• Solar panel systems work in a variety of climates – The only thing that solar panels need to generate electricity is sunshine. Even in places where there are fewer hours of daylight, there is still enough light to power the average sized American home.
