A: Everything transfers! You can save money on your electric bill and get paid by your utility company while you have the solar, then you’ll be able to hand everything off to the next homeowner for them to enjoy.
This usually translates to selling your home quickly to any buyer who understands how solar works, as they too would rather pay for a power bill that never goes up and they get to own.
A: If the home qualifies, the upfront cost is $0. Getting solar for your home isn’t free; however, we use a combination of state, federal, and private programs to help you get rid of your utility bill and replace it with a low-cost solar payment.
The best part about these programs, and why you see more solar on homes today, is any home with good sun exposure will generate enough income to not only pay for their own cost but also put money in your pocket. Why pay more to rent power, when you can own it for less?
A: The short answer is yes, but only for the power your solar system cannot produce. It all depends on which solar program fits your needs best, and how much we are able to produce from your roof, compared to the consumption of your home. The majority of U.S. installs are still grid-tied. This allows customers to draw power from the grid when/if their system did not produce enough electricity, but in the months where we make 100% or more of your power you will receive a $0 bill from your utility company… and it feels as good as it sounds.
You will always have an account through your current electricity provider, and the majority of our customers’ utility “bill” isn’t actually a bill, but more so a report of money made or extra power that you produced and was credited to you. Nonetheless having solar will definitely result in lower monthly electric bills (with good sun exposure).
A: Although solar has been found to increase property values, Rhode Island and Massachusetts both offer property tax exemptions for the value added. As a result, homeowners who go solar will not see their property taxes increase.
Not only do they offer a property tax exemption, but they also offer a sales tax exemption too.
A: If your roof gets a lot of sunlight, there’s a good chance you will qualify. We provide a free site assessment to determine exactly how much sunlight you get. After a follow-up consultation, we’ll explain why your home is or is not ideal.
Of course, there are other factors such as roof age to take into account, but most can be addressed easily. The best way to find out if your home qualifies is to schedule a free consultation here.
A: We do! Rooftop Power is a full turnkey company, we take pride in installing the residential and commercial systems ourselves. Working with just one company will ensure that your work is backed up with strong warranties, and the paperwork process has less opportunity for delay.
