Innovative Financing Programs for Non-Profit Organizations
Due to their tax exempt status, non-profit organizations cannot benefit from the generous federal tax credit for solar panel system installations. We have found a partner that will provide an upfront 12% discount for non-profit organizations that decide to go Solar in exchange for solar credits. The non-profit will still enjoy the full benefit of the energy generated by the system at no additional cost. Churches, synagogues, mosques, animal shelters, social services, municipalities, schools, museums, and any manner of non-profit organizations are eligible for this program. Our partner also provides truly creative financing options that make it a no brainer to go Solar. Please contact us for more information.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What modules do you install?
The modules we install depend on the needs of our customers. How much solar energy needs to be generated? What space is available to place modules? We use only highly rated modules some of which are manufactured right here in the United States. These modules have been rigorously tested and all come with a 25-year performance warranty. If you have any questions about manufacturers, please contact us to discuss.
How many do I need for my house?
This depends on how large your energy bills are and how much of your energy you are seeking to replace with Solar. Most residential installations are between 7 kilowatts and 15 kilowatts.Using 400-watt panels, that’s between 17 and 38 panels.
How much space does this require on a roof?
Solar panels are modular by nature, so your system can be sized to fit your roof as well as your electric bill. The average size of the panels we use for most of our residential installation is 80 inches long by 40 inches wide. As a rule of thumb, each kW of panels will take up about 56 square feet of roof space.
How heavy are your panels?
Our most popular panels for residential installations weigh around 50 pounds each. We make sure to spread the weight of the panels across your roof so as not to place too much weight on any one spot.
How Long Do Solar Panels Last?
Solar panels are designed to last for more than 30 years and almost all manufacturers guarantee the power output for the first 25 years of operation.
Do these solar panels break easily?
No. Most modules are made from tempered, shatterproof glass and are designed to withstand up to 1” diameter hail strikes at over 50 mph as well as wind and snow loads up to 112 psf.
How much energy can it produce?
Energy production will vary based on the size of the system and its location. For the best estimate of what your home can produce, request a free solar consultation from a us.
Can I install a solar system myself?
While technically possible, we do not recommend that homeowners install their own systems. Most city and state building codes require a licensed electrician to connect the system to the grid. A trained solar installer can help to ensure that your system is well designed and qualifies for the maximum possible rebates and other incentives.
