Our experts will give you a quick answer once we examine your utility bills, space, and shading on your roof. We’ll only recommend solar if it results in cost savings and accommodates your current and future energy needs.

This depends on your utility company, local jurisdictions, your existing electrical service, and the type of panels you choose. We will create a custom proposal for you that includes system size, design, costs, benefits, financing options, and the available federal, state, and local incentives

Net metering is a billing mechanism that credits solar energy system owners for the electricity they add to the grid. Once a month, your utility company will review the energy that you use from the grid, and if there are any credits in your energy bank they will be shown on your bill and can be carried over to the next month.

Many homes generate extra credits in the spring and summer, which can be stored in your energy bank and used to cover your bills through the winter months when your system does not produce as much energy.

IRS Form 5695, also known as the Residential Energy Credits form, is a document used to claim tax credits for qualified residential energy efficiency improvements. Specifically for solar, this form allows taxpayers to report expenses related to the installation of solar electric property and solar water heating property. It's a crucial step in claiming the federal tax credit for solar energy systems, helping individuals offset the costs of going solar and promoting the use of renewable energy sources.

Solar panels work by capturing sunlight using photovoltaic cells, which convert sunlight into direct current (DC) electricity. The cells are typically made of silicon and generate an electric current when exposed to sunlight. An inverter then converts the DC electricity into alternating current (AC), which is the type of electricity used in homes and businesses. The generated AC electricity can be used to power appliances, lighting, and other electrical devices. Additionally, excess electricity can be stored in batteries or fed back into the grid for credit or compensation. This process allows solar panels to harness clean and renewable energy from the sun.
