New Roofs
One of the most important first steps to going solar is checking the condition of your roof. Generally, if your roof is over 20 years old, you’re most likely going to have to replace it in the coming months or years. Even if your roof is only half that old, it may not make sense to install solar panels, only to be forced to replace your roof in a few years. If you need a new roof, we’ve got you covered! We can easily add a new roof to your solar project, and best of all roll it into the solar financing. That means no money out of pocket and your new roof may even qualify (at least in part) for the same 30% federal tax credit you get for going solar. If that’s not enough reason to get your roof done along with solar, consider this; your brand new roof will absolutely raise the value of your home AND we can often still save you money vs. your monthly utility bill.
Main Panel Upgrades
Most homes are already solar-ready, especially if it was built within the last 25 – 30 years. However, older homes will sometimes require a main panel upgrade in order to go solar. A good rule of thumb is this – as long as your main panel is at least 200 amps (sometimes even as low as 150 amps), you will most likely not need to upgrade your main electrical panel. But if that’s not the case, again we have you covered. We can easily include a main panel upgrade to your solar project, which also qualifies for 100% financing and the federal tax credit, raises the value of your home and can often still be less than your current electric bill every month.
Solar panels
Depending on your location, the panels we use for your solar project will vary. But rest assured, our fully vetted installers only use the very best, most recent technology on the market. Here are just a few examples of the kinds of quality solar panels, inverters and battery backup technology we have to offer….

Everything about Solar Equipment
Solar equipment encompasses a wide range of technological components that enable the harnessing and utilization of solar energy. This includes solar panels, inverters, batteries, and charge controllers, each playing a crucial role in converting sunlight into usable electricity.
Key Solar System Components
A solar electric supply system comprises several essential elements that work together to convert solar energy into usable electricity. The key components of this system are:
- Solar panels: These capture sunlight and convert it into Direct Current (DC) electricity.
- Inverter: The inverter converts DC electricity into alternating current (AC) electricity suitable for household use.
- Racking and Mounting: Racks and mounting structures hold solar panels securely in place on rooftops, the ground, or any suitable location.
- Batteries (optional): For off-grid systems or energy storage, batteries store excess electricity for later use during cloudy days or at night.
- Charge Controller (optional): In off-grid systems, this component regulates the battery charging process to prevent overcharging.
These components form the backbone of a solar energy system, enabling a renewable source of power.
How to Choose the Most Suitable Solar Products
