brings net electricity cost to as low as $0. Nevertheless, there will be a minimum connections fee
which helps to be connected to the electrical grid. This fee is usually around $100 per a year.

that installer that we will choose in your area.

additional energy production with my solar kit?

system. To find out whether your state falls under this program, kindly contact your local
authorities.

If you go online, you will see many DYI yourself articles. However, we strongly don’t
recommend this to people without prior experience. This process requires licensed electrical and
roofing skills to make sure that the solar power system is absolutely safe and optimally designed
for 25+ years of energy production.

integrity?

guarantees they can offer on their installation quality.

much maintenance?

and 25 years of expected life-span. FYI, their smart design ensures them being relatively clean on

Will solar modules work in a cold climate?
Yes, they will. The main rule of thumb is that if you can clearly see your PV modules, they
can generate electricity. On top of that, when they’re given same amount of direct sunlight, solar
panels on a cold day will out-produce solar panels on a hot day.
Does snow affect
their performance?
First of all, it is important to mention that snow will not harm your home solar panels at
all. However, the snow will decrease the performance but only while it remains on panels.
Considering a few factors, snow will fall off your roof rather fast
letting your panels work
to their best again.
How will they survive extreme weather
condition?
Solar panels by the providers that we recommend will withstand high winds and snow loads
very well.
Will my system work during the blackout?
Solar Panels Company recommends using basic generators or battery backup during an
unexpected blackout. For the safety measures solar systems that are connected to electrical grid are
required to remain switched off during blackouts. I have no intention being at my home for the next
25 years.
Why should I use solar panels then?
There are a few reasons why you should consider installing PV modules. When you finally
decide to sell your home, chances are high that you will sell it faster. Who wouldn’t want to
purchase a perfect place where you can save on electric bills? Another reason is that if the solar
investment hasn’t been paid off, it will be returned to you in possibly added cost of your home.
