Standard grid-tied solar systems automatically shut down during a grid outage to protect utility linemen who are fixing the lines. To keep your power on during an outage, you must add a Battery Storage system to your solar array, which acts as an automatic transfer switch and backup power system.

The direct federal residential solar tax credit (Section 25D) for customer-owned systems expired on December 31, 2025. However, homeowners can still capture substantial savings using Third-Party Ownership (TPO) models, such as solar leases or Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs).

The physical installation on your roof typically takes just 1 to 2 days. However, the entire process—including satellite analysis, custom structural engineering, city permitting, HOA approvals, and final utility interconnection inspection—usually takes between 4 to 6 weeks.

Before any design is finalized, our engineers conduct a full structural assessment of your roof. If your roof shows signs of wear and needs replacement within the next 5-10 years, we recommend replacing it first. In many cases, the cost of roof replacement can be bundled directly into your overall solar financing or lease package to simplify the transition.
