Solar Panel Installation Process
From the initial consultation to powering on your new solar energy system, we’ll explain every detail of the process.
When designing your system we will look at your past, current, and future electric needs, including:
- Electric vehicles
- HVAC usage and possible changes
- Hot tubs and swimming pools
- Increases or decreases in family size
- Home improvements and conversions
How Solar Panels Work
Solar panels operate on a simple but remarkable principle known as the photovoltaic effect, which turns sunlight into electricity. When sunlight strikes the solar cells within the panel, it energizes electrons in the semiconductor material, typically silicon. This reaction generates direct current (DC) electricity that is then converted into alternating current (AC) via an inverter, making it usable for homes and businesses.
To put it simply, your solar panels convert the sun’s energy into the same power that your electric company uses to power your home. When you invest in solar, the energy you produce is free for the life of your system.
The average life span of a solar panel system installed today is 30 years. With Solar150, you can obtain a warranty for labor and materials which extends through the 30 year life of your system.
We will help you understand how the orientation, tilt of your roof, shading, and equipment choice affects the amount of energy your system produces as well as the overall cost of your system.
Solar150 can help you with your roof as well. Depending on the expected life or warranty on your current roof, you may want to replace it prior to installing your solar panels. The great news is, if you replace your roof as part of the solar project, the cost may be included in your solar project and could be eligible for the
30% Federal income tax credit.
Solar Installation Options
Typically there are three questions people ask about solar equipment:
- What are my solar panel choices?
- How do these options differ in terms of price, system efficiency, and the break-even point on my investment?
- Do I need a battery back-up, natural gas generator, or neither?
Selecting the right equipment for your solar project can be confusing. It’s often difficult to know if you’re getting a good price and reliable equipment. Working with Solar150 makes the project easier. We’ll educate you on the different equipment options and help ensure you’re matched with the best equipment for your roof, shading conditions, climate, and budget.
If you’re in a state that has implemented net metering policies, we’ll help you understand how it impacts the efficiency and cost of your solar, as well the advantages and disadvantages of integrating a battery back-up system.
Solar Panel Warranty & Maintenance
You may wonder what happens after the installation of your solar project is complete. Who services and maintains the equipment? Who pays for repairs and service? The answers to these questions and more lie in your warranty.
Solar150 works with installers who offer a variety of warranties, including comprehensive 25 and 30 year warranties that include both labor and equipment.
Solar Panel Financing
The financing of your solar project can be as important as your choice of installer and equipment. Thankfully, there are numerous options for financing your solar project. We’ll guide you through your options, whether you prefer to use:
- Cash
- Home equity line of credit
- Mortgage refinance
- Credit card
- Solar loan
- Solar lease
- Solar power purchase agreement
- Or a combination of these choices
Solar150’s 30-year background in financial services and mortgage lending makes explaining your choices clear and simple.
