Solar & Battery FAQs
How much does a solar system cost?
A typical 6.6kW residential system costs $4,000-7,000 after the STC rebate, depending on panel and inverter selection.
How long until solar pays for itself?
Most residential systems pay for themselves within 3-5 years through reduced electricity bills.
What happens during a blackout?
Standard solar shuts down during blackouts. With a Tesla Powerwall, your home can continue running on stored energy.
Do I need a new meter?
Most installations require a bi-directional meter upgrade. We coordinate this with your retailer at no extra charge.
How long does installation take?
Most residential installations are completed in one day. Battery additions take an additional half day.
