Answers to Your Solar Panel & Service Questions

Are you thinking about switching to solar energy? If you have questions, you probably want answers before you take the plunge. Solar Liberty is happy to shed light on the most frequently asked solar questions to help you make an informed decision.

How To Begin the Switch to Solar

While each process is unique to your needs, there are some general steps that must happen. You should expect to:

  1. Schedule a consultation: Contact Solar Liberty for a free consultation at your home or business. Our experts will assess your energy needs and evaluate the property’s best plan for solar panels.
  2. Discuss financing options: We’ll walk you through various financing plans, including zero-down options for qualified customers, to find the best fit for your budget.
  3. Explore financial incentives: Specific incentives vary by state and utility provider, so we’ll help you find programs in your area that can reduce the cost of solar installation.
  4. Contact your energy provider to discuss net metering options: Net metering lets you earn credits for excess energy your system produces. We’ll help you set this up with your utility company if it’s available.
  5. Schedule the installation: Once everything is set, our experienced, NABCEP-certified installers will handle the installation and get your system running smoothly.

Common Solar Questions

In a nutshell, solar panels convert sunlight into electricity using photovoltaic (PV) cells. When sunlight hits these cells, it creates an electric current that powers your home or business.

The cost varies based on system size, location, and other factors. However, financing and incentives make solar energy more affordable than ever.

Look for experience, certifications, and good customer reviews. At Solar Liberty, we’ve been around since 2003 and are the largest solar installer in New York state. Our certified team has installed over one million solar panels, so you’re in good hands with us!

Residential Solar FAQs

The ideal number of panels depends on your energy usage, roof space, sunlight exposure, and more. During your initial consultation, we’ll design a system to suit your needs and provide a general estimate.

Incentives are available at the federal, state, and local levels. You can find information about federal solar tax credits for homeowners and businesses on the U.S. Department of Energy website. Then, our team will explain state and local opportunities during your consultation so you know about every incentive available.

Installing solar panels during new construction is a smart move. It’s often more cost-effective and easier to integrate into your home’s design compared to when done afterward.

Solar Leasing FAQs

Both options have benefits. Buying offers long-term savings and ownership, while leasing provides lower upfront costs and maintenance-free convenience. We’ll help you decide what’s best for your situation.

With solar leasing, you pay a monthly fee to use the solar system installed on your property. This results in immediate savings on your energy bills without an upfront investment.

Incentives for leased systems vary by location and program. We’ll guide you through the specifics during your consultation.

Commercial Solar FAQs

Businesses that go solar enjoy reduced operating costs, tax incentives, and an enhanced corporate image. It’s a smart investment for your bottom line and the environment.

A solar farm is a large-scale installation of solar panels. Landowners can lease their land to a solar company or build their own solar farm to generate power for multiple properties or supply energy to the grid.

EPC stands for engineering, procurement, and construction. These services encompass the process of designing, acquiring materials, and building a solar farm. We handle it all, so you don’t have to lift a finger.
