Your roof should be in good condition and constructed with durable materials. Solar systems add about 2-5 pounds per sq. foot, so structural work is rarely needed.
There should be little to no roof shading year-round. South-facing or some SW or SE facing roofs, with at least 500 sq. feet of open areas are optimal.
Usually, we can help you resolve city or neighborhood restriction conflicts, but in rare cases we can’t install our systems because it would violate deed/contract restrictions or local ordinances.
The larger the solar panel system, the more cost-effective it will be for you. We have found that solar panels don’t make sense for customers who pay less than $100 per month for electricity.
*Please note that we can only install a system if we have an agreement with the property owner. If you lease your building, we’ll need to get your landlord’s approval in addition to yours.
Our systems are built to last 30 years or more and require little maintenance. We recommend cleaning the panels and performing a routine system check at least once per year.
Should a portion of the system underperform for some reason, just call us. We'll be ready to service the system so you can get back to counting your energy bill savings.
*In addition to all of the manufacturers’ warranties for the equipment, we provide a five-year workmanship warranty on every system. At a minimum, our solar panels have 25-year performance warranties and 10-12 year workmanship warranties. Our microinverters have 10 or 25-year warranties and our string inverters have minimum warranties of 10 years.
