Questions
What factors determine solar system costs?
Costs depend on system size ($4-7/watt for standard installations), equipment choices, installation complexity, and whether battery backup is included. Federal tax credits reduce net costs by 30%.
How do Connecticut incentives work?
Connecticut offers state rebates in addition to federal tax credits. Incentives require site analysis, HERS energy audit, and REC assignment to the Green Bank. Larger systems receive proportionally smaller incentives.
Can solar power work during outages?
Standard grid-tie systems shut down during outages, but we offer battery-integrated systems that maintain power for critical home functions like heating and water pumps.
What's required for installation?
Site analysis confirms sun exposure and shading. Homes need south-facing surfaces with 9AM-3PM exposure. We handle permits and grid connection while maintaining structural integrity of roofs and buildings.
How long does installation take?
Simple installations complete in 1-2 days after permitting. Complex systems with battery backup or structural modifications may require additional time based on site-specific requirements.
