Residential Solar Facts

Why should I go solar?

The main reason why most homeowners go solar is to reduce their electricity costs. Although it might be the initial appeal of adopting solar, many people then become aware that going solar gives you more control over your energy costs and raises the value of your home. Going solar has other benefits that are unrelated to finances, such as lowering carbon emissions, supporting the future of renewable energy, and generating and maintaining hundreds of thousands of American jobs.

Will I still need to use the electric utility?

Most often, yes. Why? If net-metering is available at your location, you need to stay connected. Net metering allows you to send the power you produce to the grid and use it later.

Some people want to be totally off-grid. You can do this, but often at a huge cost as you will need batteries that are quite expensive and short lived. You’ll also need a generator and being off grid often reduces your property value.

All solar systems created by Sunergy Solutions are intended to reduce your electric cost as much as possible. Up to 100% of your bill may be offset. However, this is dependent on the variables taken into account, such as the direction, pitch, and shadowing of the roof.

Is my electricity bill high enough to justify going solar? How much does solar power cost?

Despite having the perfect home design and roof for solar panels, you may decide against installing a new solar system because your electricity bill is too (too, not to) low. If you finance the system, your monthly loan payments are typically lower than your current electrical bill.

Solar electricity will likely be a smart investment for your home if it fits these criteria. There is no “one cost” for solar panels because each system is specifically designed to meet the energy needs of the residential or commercial property. Various factors influence solar panel costs such as solar panel type, labor, additional equipment, payment options and tax incentives. At Sunergy Solutions, each installation starts with a personalized analysis and quotation which is based on your goals, electric use, the size of your roof, the orientation of the sun, whether you are a home or business client, and the tax incentive programs available.
