Find Out if Your Home Qualifies

The simplest way to see if your home qualifies for a solar power system is to contact one of our solar consultants. We will do a site survey and determine if your roof receives adequate sun by looking at its direction, the roof pitch, roof obstructions, nearby trees and other potential issues. You can also have the solar panels mounted in your yard if it has a better sunshine profile than your roof.

Ideally, you will want to have 12 months' worth of your electric bill. This will help our consultants determine how many panels you need to eliminate your current electric bill, and keep you from facing any future rate increases. As a quick rule of thumb, for every 240 KWh of annual electric consumption, you need one solar panel. A panel takes up about an area of 3 foot by 5.5 foot, or 16.5 square feet. Thus, an average system of 30 panels would require about 500 square feet of roof space.

Remember, your home also needs adequate equity and you need adequate credit if you are going to use the equity in your home to finance your solar investment.
