Solar Power/ Electric

Yes you can zero out your utility bill, however you will still receive a small customer/service charge from your utility company each month. At the end of 12 months your utility bill will be trued up (reconciled). Your utility company evaluates the amount of power that you produced versus the amount of power that you used and you will make a payment if your solar system produced less power than you used or you receive a refund if your solar system produced more power than you used. This is all part of a Net Metering Agreement (NEM) with the utility company. This agreement is executed between you and your utility company prior to activation of your new PV solar power system.

A 30% Federal Tax Credit is available for the purchase of a new PV Solar power system. You must pay taxes to take advantage of a federal tax credit.

PACE is an innovative way to finance solar electric systems in which your monthly payment is condensed into one yearly payment and is added in with your property tax yearly bill. To qualify you have to have equity in your home. It doesn't take into account your credit rating so people who have bad credit can still qualify as long as they have enough equity built up in the house.

In most cases, the answer is yes. Your new solar panels will produce power during the day but not at night so you will still be dependent upon your local utility to provide power during those times when your solar system is not producing enough power to offset your usage.

Due to safety regulations, the inverter(s) shut down automatically during a blackout. When power is restored to the grid, your system automatically resumes operation. Although, some systems can be equipped with a battery backup system which can power your home in the event of a power outage.

Your solar system is working very hard during daylight to produce electricity. When your system is not generating energy, the excess of power that was created during the day offsets the electricity used at night. The result is a lower electricity bill and a happier you.
