Solar Panel Installation FAQ
Installing high output solar panels at your home or business saves money on your electricity bills and enables you to avoid much of the financial impact of rising electricity rates over the years. The precise total cost benefits of solar panels of your solar energy system depends on multiple factors, including your local utility company’s rates and policies, the amount of sun your property receives, and policies regarding residential solar energy systems in your municipality and county. In each case, the net financial benefits can be expected to make investing in high-efficiency solar panels a good financial decision.
Using solar energy offers many health and environmental benefits. It eliminates emissions of greenhouse gas from the fossil fuel burning that is driving climate change. It also cuts the number of particulates polluting the air. Solar energy use further reduces sulfur dioxide and other such extremely unhealthy pollutants.
To see how much you are paying for electricity in your home or business, and to understand how much electricity you are actually using each month, examine your electricity bill details. Especially, read the seasonal usage information provided by the utility company separately or as part of your regular billing statement. Some electric companies may not provide monthly and seasonal usage information clearly in a graph or numerical data report on the bill, per se. If yours does not offer that information in a digestible format, see the EnergySage publication The Best Way to Read Your Electric Bill. It provides straightforward help to interpret your electricity bill and understand the items on the bill that translate into usage information.
Utility companies use a method called net metering in order to measure the amount of energy being input back onto the grid by residential and commercial customers. When an independently operating solar energy system is generating more electricity than is being used at a home or business service location, the metering system accounts for the amount of the overage and credits the customer for the net amount of electricity sent out onto the grid. Alternatively, and more commonly, the net metering system calculates how much electricity a customer uses over the amount generated by your solar energy system and the company bills the customer for only that amount. Policies regarding net metering are different from one state to the next, so be informed on any rules in your state that may affect your billing.
Abundant research shows that, on average, having a solar energy system installed increases a home’s sale value. This bump in value has, however, shown only to apply to properties that have the solar energy systems added as actual capital improvements, not as leased equipment. In many areas of the United States, solar panel installation increases a property’s value by a higher amount than other improvements, even more than a kitchen renovation.
Photovoltaic solar panels take in energy from the sun during daylight, and they convert that energy into electricity. The majority of houses and commercial buildings utilize alternating current (AC). The direct current (DC) produced by solar panels is converted by passing through an electrical current inverter that converts it to an AC current that can be used in the home or business. The electricity is then either used to power the building and any excess power is sent back to the grid.
The amount of available sunlight determines the amount of power your solar panels can produce. So, your solar energy system will generate a little less energy on cloudy days and will produce no power during dark hours at night. Nevertheless, considering the high cost of electricity, the significant government rebates, and other available financial incentives, a solar energy system is a wise choice, even for homeowners and businesses in areas with a lot of cloud cover.
Solar panels function by converting sunlight that reaches the panels into electrical power. Therefore, if the most efficient solar panels are covered with snow, they cannot receive the necessary sunlight to convert into electricity. Fortunately, snow normally does not weigh enough to damage the structural components of solar panels, and because the majority of panels are positioned at angles, snow usually slides off. The panels are also easy to wipe clean if snow accumulation does impede electricity production.
Most homeowners who install solar panels on their properties have systems that remain connected to the grid, to allow their systems to take power from the grid during periods while their systems are not generating as much electricity as they need. They automatically send power back to the grid when they produce more power than they use. You can install a completely off grid solar panel system that includes battery storage. But, such systems cost much more, and they are usually unnecessary for most homes.
Even with high efficiency solar panels, you will continue to receive electricity bills, unless your home’s solar energy system has battery storage and is completely disconnected from the grid. But, with today’s high output solar panels, you can reduce your energy bills to a fraction of previous monthly amounts you paid. You can even reduce the amount you pay to zero dollars, by installing a solar panel system that generates the same amount or more electricity than you actually use within a billing period.
Residential and commercial solar panel systems that are connected to the grid will shut down during blackouts. The systems shut off by design, in order to protect utility repair workers, emergency response workers, and others from injury due to your home’s solar panels sending electricity back to the grid. You can install inverters designed to work in conjunction with a battery, to deliver backup power to your home during blackouts.
Solar energy systems are made with solar panels constructed of exceptionally durable tempered glass. The panels need very little if any maintenance throughout their entire lifespan, which is normally from 25 to 35 years. The panels can be expected to continue to work well, even without any routine cleaning. If a problem with the panels does arise, the majority of solar equipment manufacturers provide warranties. Coverages under warranties do, of course, vary between companies.
What Our Solar Power Install Clients in Colorado are Saying
Our experience has been awesome!! They contacted us through a cold call through Frederick who answered all our questions. I did my research of the company and I must admit I was skeptical in the beginning. However, everything was outstanding. The loan experience was well done and all digital. The customer service and phone calls that you will receive have been great for ongoing questions.Things seemed to go slow in the beginning of the process with permits and design. The city has to approve permits and they were just slow. But once they got to work, they finished all in one day. The inspection from the city took a little while but was approved without any corrections. The system has worked great and I already have a credit on my electric bill--just in my second month on the system. The app you receive also allows you to look at all the panels and see what the system is doing. I love that!!I would highly recommend Solarise to anyone looking for a system.

Solarise was incredible to work with. They handled everything and all I had to do was reap the benefits of having solar. They were professional and responsive to any communication. The installers completed the project in 2 days with no disruption to me. Having solar is saving me over $100 a month in utilities. I highly recommend this company.

Knowledgeable representatives and staff. From start to finish the experience was great. From the time we got a knock on the door till we were making power was about 6 weeks. Including financing, site survey, permits, install of panels, and install of meter from power company. We watched other companies put in solar for our neighbors and it took 3 months before they were done. Solarise is fast, professional, honest and the best part is we love making our own power. If you want to go solar, I would contact Solarise Solar over any other competitor. They are the best!

We've been working with multiple solar companies for almost a year. Solarise is easily the best company out there. They're very responsive to questions and easy to get ahold of. The entire system took less than a month and a half from them knocking on our door to us making our own power. Ben, our consultant from Solarise was awesome to work with and a great dude. Thank you Solarise!

I contacted the company to inquire about the benefits and costs of having a solar system. I met with Jared. Not only was the system Well within my budget, all of my questions about the how the system worked and the benefits were answered. The system was installed before I knew it. I love having the solar system and enjoy looking at the monitoring system to see how many trees I have saved each month.

At first I was a little skeptical about dealing with a business I had no knowledge of or heard about. Our first dealing with John from Solarise Solar he made us feel at easy. He explained the benefits of solar verses regular electricity. John never tried selling us anything we didn’t need. That’s why I will definitely refer any and all my friends to Solarise. They completed all our paper work and plans, all we had to do was sit back and anxiously wait for solar to be installed. One last thing, their installers were fast, friendly and professional. Great company to do business with. Way to go Solarise Solar you definitely earned my business and references. Thank you Mr & Mrs Hernandez.

Shan and his team at Solarise Solar are amazing! I needed my existing solar system removed and reinstalled due to a issue with defective shingles on the roof. The original installer was awful and told me “We aren’t doing that right now. Call back in the Spring.” What?! After spending over 25k on a solar system you won’t provide service when the customer requires it! Solarise Solar was able to promptly remove the panels to allow for the roof to be replaced and quickly replaced them. Communication with Shan was so easy, he is quick to reply and never left me wondering. The installers that worked on my project were very knowledgeable, fast and polite. I highly recommend Solarise.
