Question 1

Is my home right for solar?

Accepted Answer

Your home needs to fit three qualifications for solar to be a wise investment. - You own your home. - Your targeted project area has southern, eastern, or western exposure. -Your roof or ground mount area has minimal shading. If your home meets these three criteria, solar is a great option!

Question 2

How much does solar cost?

Accepted Answer

Every solar system we design is completely custom. We evaluate how much energy you have used in the past to determine how many panels you will need to produce enough energy to meet your needs. Typically homeowners who finance can enjoy savings in their very first month of solar ownership.

Question 3

Are there any solar rebates or incentives?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Congress renewed the federal solar tax credit in December of 2020. Through the end of 2022, homeowners may qualify for a federal solar tax credit. This tax credit is equal to 26% of the total cost of your solar system. This tax credit is a dollar for dollar reduction in tax liability. Your local energy company may also have other incentives or rebates.

Question 4

What will my electric bill be after going solar?

Accepted Answer

When we design a system we aim for what we call 100% offset. This means we recommend installing enough panels to match the amount of energy you typically use in a calendar year. As long as the amount of energy you use doesn’t drastically change you would only have to pay the connection fee to the power company. Don’t worry though if you use more than you expected you won’t run out of electricity you will just pay the difference to the power company.

Question 5

What if I move after going solar?

Accepted Answer

We don’t recommend taking your system with you when you move, for many reasons,but moving them is possible. Studies have shown that solar does help home sell faster and for more though so typically you are better off either having the new home owner assume the solar loan or increase the price of your home and have the solar loan paid off in escrow at closing.

Question 6

What kind of maintenance does a solar system need?

Accepted Answer

Solar panels have extremely low maintenance needs. After installation, we will closely monitor your system, and if any needs arise, we will notify you and come complete the necessary maintenance. You will also be able to monitor your system using our free Steel City Solar app.

Question 7

How long will my solar panels work?

Accepted Answer

Solar power systems can produce electricity for 25 or more years. Most solar panel manufacturers offer a 25-year power performance warranty guaranteeing that their solar panels will continue to generate electricity at a certain capacity for the warranty’s duration.

Question 8

What if I need to replace/repair my roof?

Accepted Answer

If you need to work on your roof, we will remove, store, and replace your system for a small, per-panel fee that, depending on the situation, may be covered by your homeowners’ insurance. And as an added bonus, solar systems actually help extend the life of your roof!

Question 9

What if I have an old system that isn’t producing enough energy?

Accepted Answer

We love to retro-fit, replace, and upgrade older systems. We can let you know options and review your energy production to ensure that you don’t have too many or too few panels.
