Q: I’m considering installing a solar system. Where do I start?
A: "The first place to start is assessing whether solar makes sense for your property by understanding your electric bills and energy use. A monthly electric bill that’s more than $100 is typically the baseline for solar solutions to be viable."
Q: Can you do an audit of a house to see if solar makes sense?
A: "Yes, we do full audits that include consultation and education about potential solar system advantages and disadvantages. We won’t recommend an installation unless it makes sense for both energy needs and financial implications."
Q: Are there financial incentives for installing solar systems?
A: "Yes. San Francisco and other municipalities, as well as state and federal programs, offer incentives for solar power investments."
Q: How long can I expect a photovoltaic or water-heating system to last?
A: "If installed and maintained properly, most systems should last more than 20 years, and some basic systems can last more than 30."
