How does solar energy work for my home?
Solar panels installed on your roof or property absorb sunlight and convert it into electricity through a process called the photovoltaic effect. This electricity can then power your home’s appliances and lighting, possibly reducing your reliance on the utility company.
What are the benefits of installing solar panels?
There are many potential benefits to going solar. Solar energy can help reduce your electricity costs, provide a renewable energy source, increase the appeal of your home, and contribute to environmental sustainability by lowering carbon emissions. Consult with a solar expert to explore your eligibility for all potential benefits of residential solar.
Will solar panels work for my home?
Solar panels can work for many homes, but factors like roof orientation, shading from trees or buildings, and local weather conditions can affect their efficiency. A professional solar energy provider can assess your home’s suitability for solar panels through a free consultation.
How much will solar panels cost for my home?
The cost of solar panels varies depending on factors such as the size of your system, your location, and available incentives or rebates. Eligible homeowners can take advantage of financing options and government incentives to help make solar more affordable.
How long do solar panels last?
Many solar panels come with warranties ranging from 20 to 25 years, but they can last much longer with proper maintenance. Solar panels degrade over time, losing a small percentage of their efficiency each year, but they can continue to generate electricity for decades.
What happens if I sell my home with solar panels?
Congratulations on the move! You have two options:
1) Pay off the remaining balance: In many cases homeowners choose to pay off any remaining balance through the sale of their home.
2) Transfer the payments: The new homeowner can also apply to assume the monthly payments and inherit any applicable savings.
Are there tax incentives or rebates available for installing solar panels?
Many state and federal incentives are available to qualifying homeowners to help offset the cost of installing solar panels, including the federal investment tax credit (ITC) and various state-level rebates and incentives. These incentives have the potential to significantly reduce the cost of solar. While we can’t offer tax advice or guarantee eligibility, we can connect you with certified professionals who specialize in solar tax incentives. They can provide personalized guidance to help you navigate available incentives.
