"The entire process including installation went seamlessly while I was at work. I didn't need to worry about any permits or dealing with the local utility company either."

Common questions
Is there still a federal tax credit for home solar?
The federal homeowner credit ended for systems placed in service after December 31, 2025. Utility programs and our prepaid lease still lower the cost, and we check them for your address.
Does solar work in a power outage?
Grid-tied solar shuts off during an outage for safety. Add a battery or a standby generator to keep your home running.
How long does a project take?
Most home projects take about 2 to 4 months from signed agreement to power on. Permits and utility approval set most of the timeline. Commercial projects take longer.
Do you service systems another company installed?
Yes. We repair and maintain systems whose installer is gone or no longer answering.
