Frequently Asked Questions

The real question should be, "How much does it cost to NOT go solar?" Going green has so many benefits; renewable energy, no carbon footprint, contributing and not consuming. Get free information on how you can start your family on the path to free energy.

Expect to shell out $3000 to $8000 per 1000 square feet of home. For example, a 3000 sq ft home would cost $9000 to $24000 for solar energy. The cost ranges are due to different types of solar panels, hours of sun access, roof pitch; many attributes to consider.

Most companies have zero percent financing spread-out over several years in some cases. Federal, state and local rebates, grants and tax incentives makes going solar extremely attractive in 2021.

Depending on your coverage goals, expect an average size home to require six to thirty solar panels. To find out how many solar panels you'll need, submit the total square footage of your home or business.

6% to as much as 18%, depending on location; expect 9% - 14% in Alabama. Also consider that most investment portfolios consider a 4% return on investments (ROI) a really good deal, so purchasing solar panels to offset power needs is a no brainer.

It's not like we're buying a want or even a STRONG need; electricity is a SUPER STRONG necessity (which is on top of the 'need list') that gets priority paid before most mortgages, because it's something we cannot live without.

Lets break it down like this; for example,  over the next month my power bill will average $200, which is $2400 for the year and $24,000.00 over the next ten years. And there is absolutely nothing any of us can do about it, we MUST have electricity, and with everyone now moving towards electric vehicles, we'll be using more juice at home to charge those electric cars and trucks.

Today I have a choice, I can pay that $24000 over the next ten years for fossil fuel electrical power, or I can invest the same $24000 in solar power and get 25-40 years worth of carbon-free renewable electrical power  direct from the sun. And this $24000 is further reduced by 26% from the Federal Government, local and state tax incentives and additional rebates, discounting some areas as much as 50%. And any of it can be financed with zero % interest funding. These incentives will expire soon, don't wait any longer. Learn how you can benefit!

According to the National Renewable Energy Laboratory a study in the Appraisal Journal, which indicates that home values increase $20 for every $1 reduction in the annual utility bill. In other words, a solar energy system that saves $1,000 per year would add a value of $20,000 to your home. A solar system that saves $200/mo would add $48,000.00 to your home's value. Want to find out how much your home's value would increase?

Off-Grid residential solar systems are completely disconnected from any outside power source. Very common in parts of Alaska and other remote areas, or for those just wanting to disconnect from the grid.

Back-up inter-tied solar systems store excess power in the home's battery system. An inter-tied grid solar power system is connected to the utility grid for two reasons; to assist with battery backup power, which provides balance to the system and protects against power outages. When sunlight is abundant, power will store in the batteries and excess power will overflow back onto the grid and sold back to the power company, a process known as net metering. This system is more complex and as a result, more expensive.

On-Grid inter-tied solar systems are also connected to the home and to the grid, which allows power from either the solar panels or the grid. Switching between is seamless. When the sun is blazing, net metering kicks in and the excess power is now flowing to your neighbors and you're getting paid from the power company. Most of these systems are set-up to help offset power consumption needs. Some homeowners install a small solar array at first just to test things out. There is no wrong way to get started, the only wrong way is not to start.

Solar panel systems are the most versatile and reliable source of renewable energy. Install fewer solar panels and cut your power bill in half, or install twice as many and get paid from the power company. Start today, right now, by asking for more details and FREE information.

Solar panels require an electrical engineer and a general contractor for installation. Several permits are required, which your design team will handle that paperwork and process all the proper forms and filing documents.

And you should only attempt to install any electrical components if you're a certified master electrician. Solar power is just as dangerous as grid power.
