Solar panel installation made easy.

How much you’ll save depends on quite a few things. Quite often there are federal and local rebates available when installing solar panels. That will give you an immediate break on your installation costs. During your free in-home consultation, a Local Home Pro can review your energy bills and go over how much you could potentially save by installing solar panels.

Generally speaking, your home could run on solar energy whenever the sun is shining. Even when you factor in your energy requirements at night, you could still see your monthly electricity bills decrease by 40%-80%.

Another benefit is that the energy you generate can be sold back to electric utility providers. This will further help reduce your overall expenses.

In most cases, solar PV systems require very little maintenance. The only real concern would be if your panels become obstructed. If your solar panels are on your roof, and there’s no trees blocking them, you should have little to worry about. However, if you have your panels on the ground, there’s the potential for something to cover them and may require removal of leaves and trees. If dirt gets on your panels, all you need to do is give them a quick hose down.

Since solar energy is natural, there’s no reliance on fossil fuels such as gas and coal. That means the energy you’re using is 100% green. This is important since some power plants that generate energy release greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Not only does this increase climate change, but it also creates pollution.

What’s appealing about solar energy is that it can last decades. Most installations come with a 25 year warranty, but with regular maintenance, your solar panels could last upwards of 40 years. Installing solar energy not only helps you out now, but it can also help create a better environment for future generations.

It is possible to install a solar battery backup system at the same time as your solar panels. This would allow you to use any stored energy whenever there’s a blackout.

No, solar panels still generate power even when it’s raining or cloudy. The only time solar panels wouldn’t work is when there’s shade blocking them. However, during your initial consultation, your Local Home Pro professional would check to see if shade is a concern.

When a Local Home Pro arrives at your home for your free consultation, they’ll walk around your property to see if your home is a good fit for solar panels. They’ll then look at your current energy bills to see what kind of system you would need to lower your costs.

While on site, your professional will come up with a custom solar panel design that makes sense for your home. They can also go over what the estimated savings will be and if there are any available rebates or incentives.

On the day of the install, our professionals will take the steps to ensure that your home is protected. Once the panels are installed, the contractors will check to make sure that the energy generated is flowing into your home smoothly.

Although it’s not a feature that house hunters immediately look for, solar panels could potentially increase your property value. When selling your home, you can show potential buyers your monthly electricity bills and how much you’re making when utility companies buy your excess electricity. Buyers could view this information in a positive light and value your home more than other comparable properties that don’t have solar panels installed.
