Solar FAQ
How do solar panels work?
Solar panels convert sunlight into electricity through photovoltaic cells. When sunlight hits these cells, it generates direct current (DC) electricity, which is then converted into alternating current (AC) electricity for use in homes.
How long does the install process take?
The process of installing panels of your home is relatively quick and most installations are completed within a few days. However, before installation begins, it will take several weeks to prepare your project and secure the necessary plans, permits and documentation.
If I have solar panels, will I have power during a blackout?
While solar panels alone will not operate during a power outage, they can work when paired with battery storage.
Power outages are often caused by downed power lines; all solar panel systems have an emergency shut-off that stops production and prevents back-feed of solar electricity into the city electric grid allowing the utility line workers to safely work on de-energized grid.
Batteries allow solar panels to continue working in a power outage, with the spare energy going into the battery rather than into the grid.

Are solar panels worth it?
Installing solar panels can reduce your electricity bills, increase your property value, and help reduce your carbon footprint by using clean, renewable energy. Federal incentives allow for up to 30% savings on renewable energy projects, making the solar electricity cheaper than what the utility charges you for the same amount of energy. Many states and utilities have additional local incentives.
How much do solar panels cost?
The cost of solar panels can vary based on factors like system size, quality of equipment, and installation. On average, a residential solar panel system may cost between $10,000 to $25,000 before incentives. Multiple low-interest financing options exist, effectively replacing most of your electrical utility bill with a lower solar loan payment. An easy way to assess the solar costs are through.
Are there any incentives for installing solar panels?
A 30% Federal Solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC) is widely used to offset the cost of installing a solar system. In some cases there are state-level rebates and net metering programs that allow you to sell excess electricity back to the grid. Take a look at your local utility and municipal website to see what local incentives you may be eligible for.
What is the payback period for solar panels?
The payback period for solar panels in Florida typically ranges from 5 to 10 years, depending on factors like your energy consumption and the cost of your system. If you choose to finance your purchase you will see immediate savings in most cases as your solar loan payment is normally less than your electrical utility bill (for example, instead of paying $200 for electricity to your utility you may pay $20 to your utility and $150 for your solar loan, dropping your overall monthly payment from $200 to $170, immediate savings). The payback period does not take into account the ever-increasing utility electricity charges, on average your electric bill goes up 3% a year, meaning that in 25 years your monthly utility bill will be x2.5 times more than you’re paying now.
What is net metering, and how does it work?
Solar net metering is a billing arrangement for solar panel owners that allows them to earn credits for any excess electricity their solar panels generate. When the panels produce more electricity than the property consumes, the surplus is sent back to the grid. A specialized meter, known as a net meter, tracks this flow of electricity. The credits accrued during times of excess generation can then offset electricity costs when the solar panels are not producing enough, such as during nighttime or cloudy days, ultimately reducing the homeowner’s or business’s electricity bill.
Do solar panels work during cloudy or rainy days?
Yes, solar panels still generate electricity on cloudy or rainy days, though at a reduced rate. They are designed to capture sunlight even in less-than-optimal conditions.
What maintenance is required for solar panels?
Solar panels are relatively low-maintenance. Many localities are blessed with an abundance of sunshine and some rain which washes off most of accumulated dust, pollen, leaves. Solar panels have no moving parts, there is no need to provide other regular maintenance; that’s why manufacturers are confident in providing 25-year warranties on panels and inverters.
How long do solar panels last?
Tier-1 solar panels are warrantied to work for 25-30 years. The actual lifespan of solar panels is much longer than that.
Can I go off-grid with solar panels?
Consult your local zoning requirements. In some cases you may be able to go off-grid, particularly in rural areas.
Are there any restrictions on installing solar panels?
There may be local regulations and homeowner association (HOA) restrictions that affect solar panel installations. There are codified requirements by the electric utility provider and municipal building department that regulates panel placement and operations. HOA can provide input but cannot deny solar panel projects.
How much space do I need for solar panels?
Your roof should be able to accommodate enough solar panels to offset most or all of your electric needs.
Curious how you can save money on energy?
Solar panels convert sunlight into electricity through photovoltaic cells. When sunlight hits these cells, it generates direct current (DC) electricity, which is then converted into alternating current (AC) electricity for use in homes.
