  • How does snow affect solar panels?

    Snow is rarely an issue with solar panels, especially in Southern Utah. Thanks to the panels’ tilted installation and the region’s abundant sun, snow melts quickly once the sun comes out. Plus, with the energy stored in your battery backup system, you’ll still have power even during snowstorms.

  • Are solar panels protected against hailstorms and heavy winds?

    Solar panels are built to endure tough weather, including hail and strong winds. However, it’s a good idea to inform your insurance provider about your installation. If natural disasters cause damage, adequate insurance can help cover repair or replacement costs.

  • Is a battery backup recommended with solar panel systems?

    Absolutely. A battery backup is highly recommended. Staying off-grid is great—but staying powered when the grid goes down is essential. Battery systems help ensure you have reliable energy when you need it most.

  • Are there any discounts or assistance for agricultural solar systems?

    Yes! There are agricultural grants available that can help offset the cost of solar installation for farms and ranches. Ask us about the process—we’ll guide you through it to keep your operation running efficiently and affordably.

  • Are there options to take solar energy with me on the go?

    Yes, mobile and home battery systems enable energy portability. With our solutions, you can enjoy reliable, sustainable power wherever life takes you, achieving true energy independence.

  • When will I see a return on my investment?

    You will see a return on your investment right away. Your monthly utility bill will be reduced immediately. This will continue to decrease even more with solar battery backup. In just one year,  you can see a return of up to 18%, and you will receive up to a 30% tax credit.

  • What happens if I move?

    You can’t take your solar system with you, but you can roll the price of the system into the cost of your home. In return, you will pay off the system, and the new owners will get the system for free while offsetting their energy consumption by about 76%. Plus, the warranty is 100% transferrable to the new owners.

  • What are the benefits of solar energy?

    Solar energy is renewable, reduces electricity bills, decreases carbon footprint, has low maintenance costs, and increases energy independence.
