Solar energy is a clean and renewable source of energy that is generated from the sun. It is converted into electricity through the use of photovoltaic cells or solar panels.

Solar energy works by capturing the sun’s energy through the use of solar panels, which are made up of photovoltaic cells. These cells convert sunlight into direct current (DC) electricity, which is then converted into alternating current (AC) electricity through an inverter.

Some of the benefits of solar energy include reduced energy costs, increased energy independence, reduced carbon footprint, and improved grid management.

The cost of installing solar panels on a home varies depending on factors such as the size of the system and the location of the home. Having your annual usage ready will help determine the system size. Unless you pay cash, there should be NO OUT OF POCKET cost to start.

Yes, as of 2022 the 30% Federal Tax Credit Incentive has been extended for 10 years for homeowners that qualify and go solar.

Solar panels typically have a lifespan of 25 to 30 years, after which they will need to be replaced.

Yes, it is possible to generate enough energy to power your home with solar panels. The amount of energy that can be generated depends on factors such as the size of the system and the location of the home.

Yes, many states, including California, offer net metering programs for homeowners who have installed solar panels on their homes. These programs allow homeowners to earn credits for the excess energy that they generate, which can then be used to offset their energy costs.

Solar panels can still generate some energy on cloudy or rainy days, but the amount of energy generated will be less compared to sunny days.

To determine if your home is suitable for solar panels, you will need to have a professional assess your roof and your energy needs. A professional can also provide you with an estimate of the cost of installing a solar panel system for your home.

If there is a power outage, your solar panels will not be able to generate energy. However, you may be able to use an inverter with battery storage to store energy during periods of power generation, which can then be used during a power outage.
