Solar questions, answered
How much does solar cost?
A typical 6 kW residential system runs $15,000–$19,000 before the 30% federal tax credit. Comparing multiple installer quotes routinely saves homeowners thousands.
How much can solar save on electric bills?
Most homeowners offset 70–100% of usage. Savings depend on your rate, roof orientation, and local sun hours — a quote includes a production estimate.
Is solar worth it if I might move?
Owned systems add resale value. Leased systems complicate sales — if you may move, buying (cash or loan) usually beats leasing.
How long until solar pays for itself?
Typical payback is 7–11 years, with systems warrantied for 25. Everything after payback is pure savings.
