Frequently Asked Questions

The average residential solar panel has a power rating of 250–400 watts, and can generate about 1.5 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity per day under favorable conditions. For example, a home with six hours of sunlight per day can generate 546–874 kWh of electricity annually. The most efficient solar panels are 370–445 watts. However, high-efficiency panels are often more expensive per watt, so they may not be ideal for all customers. For example, a 450-watt panel may be less efficient than a smaller 400-watt panel if it is bigger. Solar panels installed in sunnier states will generate more electricity than those in more overcast areas. For example, a 400-watt panel in Arizona can generate 3 kWh in a day versus just 1 kWh in Alaska. 

This depends on several factors, such as the percentage of your electric bill you wish to cover, your overall budget, your peak electrical needs, the layout of your home or business, etc. You can calculate how many solar panels you need by multiplying your household's hourly energy requirement by the peak sunlight hours for your area and dividing that by a panel's wattage. Use a low-wattage (150 W) and high-wattage (370 W) example to establish a range (ex: 17-42 panels to generate 11,000 kWh/year). Our team of Professional Consultants are prepared to discuss your precise energy needs and are always happy to tailor the system that best suites you.

Most of our clients opt for grid-tied solar systems, which cover a portion of their electrical needs. These systems complement your grid connection, providing backup when solar production is insufficient. Depending on the system and your usage, you might even earn credits on your utility bills, although some months may still see reduced bills. For complete energy independence, off-grid systems are available and involve additional setups like batteries or generators. 

Absolutely! Solar PV systems are inherently modular, allowing for straightforward expansion to accommodate growing energy needs or changes in your business operations. 

For residential setups on farms, the return on investment (ROI) typically ranges from 1.5-3 years, while commercial agricultural operations might see an ROI within a Tax Year. The exact timeline can vary based on local incentives and the specifics of your installation. 

Yes, numerous federal and state tax incentives can significantly enhance your ROI. We recommend consulting with a tax professional to understand the benefits specific to your area and circumstances. Our Team will help you find USDA Grants and other funding to offset the majority of you project installation costs.
