Solar & Energy Options & Types

Rooftop Solar Panels

The most common residential installation. Modern panels produce significantly more energy than panels from 10 years ago, and most systems generate enough power to offset 80-100% of electricity usage.

Solar Battery Storage

Store excess solar energy for use at night or during power outages. Battery storage systems provide energy independence and backup power.

Solar Financing Options

Purchase, lease, or enter a power purchase agreement (PPA). $0-down financing is available from many installers, making solar accessible without upfront costs.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do solar panels cost?
The average residential solar system costs $15,000-$35,000. A typical 8kW system costs about $15,000-$18,000. Your actual cost depends on system size, panel type, and local labor rates.
How much will I save with solar?
Most homeowners save $1,000-$2,500 per year on electricity. Over 25 years, that's $25,000-$60,000 in savings. Your actual savings depend on your electricity usage, local rates, sun exposure, and system size.
Do solar panels work on cloudy days?
Yes, solar panels produce electricity on cloudy days — typically about 25% of their peak output. Modern panels are more efficient in low-light conditions than older models. Even in cloudy climates like Seattle, solar is still a worthwhile investment.
How long do solar panels last?
Most solar panels come with 25-30 year warranties and continue producing electricity well beyond that. Panels typically degrade about 0.5% per year, so after 25 years they're still producing about 87% of their original output.
Is solar worth the investment?
Most homeowners see their solar panels pay for themselves in 6-10 years through energy savings. After that, you're generating essentially free electricity for the remaining 15-20 years of the panel warranty. Solar also increases your home's value and protects against rising utility rates.
Will solar panels damage my roof?
When properly installed by a qualified contractor, solar panels actually protect the portion of roof they cover. Reputable installers use flashing and sealants that maintain your roof's waterproof integrity. If your roof needs replacement, it's best to do that before going solar.
