What can we help you with today?

Your utility bill details your home's electricity usage and helps determine the size of the system needed. This is the main factor in how we estimate the system's cost.

If your power goes out, your solar panels will automatically shut down unless you have a battery backup system installed. A battery backup stores excess solar energy, allowing your home to stay powered during outages. Investing in a battery system not only provides peace of mind but also ensures uninterrupted energy access when you need it most.

Going completely off the grid is possible, but it requires careful planning and significant investment in solar panels, battery storage, and potentially backup systems. While current technology can support off-grid living, it’s not always cost-effective or practical for every homeowner. We’re happy to provide guidance on evaluating whether “going off the grid” is right for you.

Our intuitive solar production monitoring tools allow you to monitor your system's performance in real-time. These tools allow you to track the energy output of each individual panel and the entire system, ensuring everything is operating efficiently. You’ll also receive alerts for any issues, so you can have peace of mind knowing your solar investment is always performing at its best.

Your system is designed to be low-maintenance, so there’s no need for you to worry about ongoing upkeep. Our team continuously monitors its performance to ensure everything runs smoothly. If your system ever requires attention, we’ll take care of it promptly and professionally.

Absolutely! Solar energy is a dependable and sustainable power source. Even in states like Michigan, where weather can vary, advancements in solar technology ensure consistent energy production year-round. With Michigan’s high utility rates, solar can offset up to 100% of a home's electrical usage in many cases, significantly reducing reliance on the grid and lowering energy costs. Plus, with proper installation and a well-designed system, you can count on reliable performance for decades. Furthermore, Michigan's colder climate actually causes less heat damage over time which provides for longer-lasting panel efficiency.

Absolutely! The Federal Solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC) allows you to deduct 30% of your solar installation costs from your federal taxes, making solar more affordable than ever. Additionally, many utility companies offer rebates and provide bill credits for any excess energy your system generates. Depending on your state or local government, you may also qualify for additional incentives, such as property tax exemptions, sales tax reductions, or low-interest financing programs. These combined benefits can significantly reduce your upfront costs and maximize your long-term savings. You can read more about the solar tax credit HERE 

While it’s technically possible for a homeowner to install their own Level 1 or Level 2 EV charger, it’s not recommended unless you have professional electrical experience. EV charger installation often requires upgrades to your electrical panel, permits, and precise wiring to ensure safety and compliance with local codes. A licensed electrician can assess your home’s electrical capacity, handle the installation safely, and ensure your charger operates efficiently. For peace of mind and to avoid costly mistakes, it’s best to leave the installation to the professionals.
