We provide custom solar solutions from 440 watt demonstration kits up to full home systems. Our team helps determine optimal system size based on your energy consumption patterns and roof space.
Do your systems qualify for tax credits?
All our solar installations qualify for the 30% federal investment tax credit through December 31, 2025. We provide documentation to claim this credit on your tax return.
Can I install the system myself?
Our DIY solar kits include complete installation instructions for self-installation. We offer optional support packages for technical guidance during the installation process.
What's the difference between grid-tied and hybrid systems?
