Have Questions About Going Solar? We’ve Got Answers.

Whether you’re just getting started or ready to install, this page covers the most common questions about solar, brokers, savings, and more.

EQUIPMENT

Yes, batteries can be added later. However, it’s generally more affordable and efficient to bundle them during your initial installation.

FAQs

PROCESS & INSTALLATION

We use advanced design tools and your utility data to size your system for maximum savings. After a site survey, our team finalizes a layout that meets code and efficiency standards.

PERFORMANCE & MONITORING

South-facing roofs perform best, but east- and west-facing roofs are still highly effective. We design based on your home’s layout.

POWER OUTAGES & BACKUP

With sufficient panels and storage, many homeowners can reduce or eliminate grid dependency entirely.

FAQs

COST & SAVINGS

Typically within 2–3 billing cycles after your system is turned on.
