Qualifying homeowners may be able to get solar panels professionally installed for $0 down, without purchasing the equipment upfront. You then pay for solar energy or service through a subscription. $0 down does not mean free electricity.

Solar can reduce the electricity you purchase from your utility. Whether you save overall depends on your solar payments, remaining utility charges, energy usage, and available programs. Your consultation will help you compare your projected total costs. 

Usually, yes. You may still pay your utility for grid connection, supplemental electricity, and applicable fees. Your solar system can reduce how much electricity you need to purchase from the grid.

Yes, but the annual increase is fixed and disclosed upfront. Your solar subscription includes a predetermined annual rate increase, so you'll know exactly how your solar payments are scheduled to change throughout your agreement. Unlike traditional utility rates, which can fluctuate unpredictably, your solar subscription follows a defined payment schedule—giving you greater control and predictability over your energy expenses.

The solar subscriptions featured on this website offer long-term equipment and service protection, including covered maintenance, repairs, and system monitoring. Exact coverage, exclusions, and guarantees are defined by the provider's agreement.

Eligibility depends on factors such as location, utility provider, roof suitability, household electricity usage, and applicable financial qualifications. Your free consultation is where these factors are reviewed.

System size depends on your annual electricity usage, roof space, sunlight exposure, and future energy needs. A solar representative can review your usage history and recommend a system designed around your home.

Most standard grid-connected solar systems shut down during outages for safety. A properly configured solar-plus-battery system can provide backup power while the utility grid is down.

Whole-home backup is possible with a properly designed system. It depends on battery capacity, the number of batteries, high-demand appliances, and how long the outage lasts. Some homes are better suited to essential-circuit backup.

Tesla Powerwall stores electricity for later use and can provide backup power during outages. A compatible SPAN Smart Panel provides circuit-level energy visibility and can help prioritize circuits to extend battery runtime. Equipment availability and compatibility are confirmed during consultation.

A home battery may be a suitable alternative to a fuel-powered generator. It operates quietly and doesn't require gasoline or diesel. However, backup duration is limited by battery capacity, available recharging, and household electricity consumption.
