Frequently Asked Question
Will solar panels work during a power outage?
Only if you have a battery backup system or a solar system designed to operate independently of the grid (off-grid). Standard grid-tied systems shut down during outages for safety.

What maintenance do solar panels require?
Very little. You may need to occasionally clean the panels and ensure they are free from debris or shade. Most systems are designed to be low-maintenance.
Can solar panels power my entire home?
Yes, depending on the size of your system and your energy consumption. A professional installer can help you size a system to meet your needs.
Do solar panels increase home value?
Yes. Studies show that homes with solar panels sell faster and at a higher price than those without.
