How Does Solar Work

Solar panels capture sunlight and turn it into electricity. The panels contain special cells that absorb energy from the sun, creating direct current (DC) power. An inverter then converts this into alternating current (AC) power, which is what homes and businesses use. Any extra energy can be stored in batteries or sent back to the grid.

How Much Does It Cost To Go Solar?

The biggest misconception about solar is that it requires a big upfront investment. The truth is, if your home qualifies, you can switch to solar with no money out of pocket. There are programs and incentives designed to make the transition affordable, and our job is to help you find the ones you qualify for and show you how much you can save on your monthly energy costs.

What Happens If the Panels Break?

You don’t have to worry about that. Solar panels are built to last for decades and come with strong warranties that cover equipment and performance. If anything does happen, the panels are repaired or replaced at no cost to you, so your savings and peace of mind are always protected.

How Much Can I Expect to Save?

Most homeowners start saving money the very day their panels are installed. On average, people save around $50,000 over the life of their system—and that’s money that would’ve gone to the utility company. Your exact savings depend on your home, energy use, and which programs you qualify for, but the sooner you switch, the sooner you start keeping more of your own money.

How Long Do the Panels Last?

The expected lifespan of solar panels is about 25 years, but most continue working well beyond that. Even after the warranty period, panels typically keep producing energy—just at a slightly reduced efficiency—so you can enjoy the benefits of solar for decades.
