What to know

How residential solar comes together

How it works

Panels convert sunlight to DC electricity; an inverter turns it into AC power for your home, with the grid as backup.

Roof & property

Orientation, shading, roof age, condition and available space all influence system design.

Usage analysis

Twelve months of utility bills help size a system to how your household actually uses energy.

Production estimates

Estimates model expected output using location, weather data and equipment. Actual production varies.

Financing structures

Purchase, loan, lease and power purchase agreements each carry different costs and ownership terms.

Utility interconnection

Your utility must approve the connection. Rules and credit programs differ by utility and state.

Installation & inspection

Permitting, installation and local inspections are completed before the system is switched on.

Maintenance

Systems are generally low-maintenance; monitoring and occasional checks help keep them performing.

Battery integration

Adding storage can help with backup power and using solar energy later in the day.

Savings, bill reductions and incentive eligibility are not guaranteed and depend on your usage, utility rates, location, tax situation and system design. Consult a qualified tax professional regarding incentives.
