Residential Solar Systems

Going solar is a smart choice for numerous reasons, including reducing electricity bills, providing a renewable and clean source of energy, and decreasing your reliance on fossil fuels and volatile electricity rates. Additionally, they can increase property values and offer potential tax incentives and rebates. Over time, a solar system can help you save significant money on energy costs while contributing to environmental sustainability.

Residential solar systems consist of photovoltaic (PV) panels installed on your roof or other locations on your property. These panels capture sunlight and convert it into direct current (DC) electricity. This DC electricity then flows to an inverter, which converts it into alternating current (AC) electricity, the type used in your home. If your system includes battery storage, any excess energy generated during the day is stored for use at night or on cloudy days.

Residential solar panels are a long-term investment that offers decades of benefits. Typically, high-quality solar panels can last between 25 to 30 years or more. These panels require minimal maintenance, primarily just cleaning and occasional inspections, to ensure optimal performance. Most residential solar systems come with robust warranties, often covering 20 to 25 years, ensuring that your investment is protected and that your panels will continue to generate clean energy efficiently for many years.

Home solar electricity costs can vary based on several factors, including the size of your system, your location, and your home's specific energy needs. At AskSolar, we simplify this process for you. After you complete a quick survey, we gather all the necessary information to give you accurate estimates and details. We help you find several providers and compare quotes, saving you time and effort while ensuring you get the most competitive pricing and highest quality installation.

Overall, the solar industry has grown exponentially across applications, including residential solar. At the same time, the overall cost of installing solar has been dropping and appears to be stabilizing at these lower price levels. Depending on your area, there may be a variety of solar grants and tax incentives available to help offset your costs as well. On a national level, the EPA fully supports solar energy and continues to promote it as an eco-friendly solution.
