Frequently Asked Questions when switching to Solar
Is my home good for solar?
Figuring out if your home is good for solar relies on several factors, like where your house is located, the angle of your roof, roof shading, and how old your home is. In order to understand if your home is suitable for solar, get in touch with one of our Solar Advisors. They’ll run a personalized analysis of your home with BrightPath™, our proprietary solar design technology. We’ll only recommend solar if it’s the right fit for your home energy needs.
What happens if I decide to move?
We get it. Life happens. That’s why Simple Power makes it easy to transfer your monthly solar loan agreement to the new homeowners.
Our Service Transfer Specialists handle everything from educating realtors and potential buyers to working with escrow officers, title agents, home inspectors, and anyone else who might need to know about your system or solar loan agreement.
How many solar panels will my home need?
Every household will need a different number of panels based on how much energy it uses, the climate in the area, and how much direct sunlight hits its roof. We’ll figure out how much power a system will need to produce to power your home during your free consultation.
Will owning solar panels increase my home value?
Studies show that owning solar panels could potentially increase your property value. For example, solar homes in California sell for $20,000 more on average, while solar homes in other states sold for about $15,000 more. With numbers like that, you could likely recover the cost of your system if you decide to sell your home. So you’ll not only enjoy clean, reliable energy, you’ll rest easy knowing that you made a smart investment.
What is a PPA?
With a PPA, you pay a fixed price for the power the system produces.
Can I really go solar for little to $0 down?
Yes, you can. Qualifying Simple Power customers can secure long-term savings for as little as $0 down with any of our solar plans. Contact one of our Solar Advisors today for more information.
What if something breaks?
You pay nothing. Zero. We cover your system’s maintenance, plus we take care of paperwork, scheduling, and more. With Simple Power, you’ll never pay a dime for repairs.
What if my solar panels stop working?
Our monitoring team oversees all Simple Power systems daily – monitoring each solar system’s production so you don’t have to think twice. If something happens, or your system performance dips, we are alerted and contact you ASAP to get it fixed.
What if something happens to my roof during or after installation?
We have you covered. Your Simple Power agreement includes a roof warranty, which protects your roof from leaks or holes. Not all solar companies offer a comprehensive warranty like Simple Power!
What if I need help?
