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.

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.

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.

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.

With a PPA, you pay a fixed price for the power the system produces.

Own your Electricity

By generating your own electricity with solar panels, you can significantly reduce or even eliminate your reliance on traditional utility companies.

$0 money down

$0 money down

Solar home panels can be installed with zero money down through a variety of different financing options that are available to homeowners. Here are some of the ways that solar panel companies make it possible to go solar without putting any money down:

  1. Solar leases: With a solar lease, you agree to lease the solar panels from the installation company for a set period of time, usually between 15 and 25 years. In exchange, you pay a fixed monthly fee that is often lower than your current utility bill. The installation company owns and maintains the panels, which means there’s little to no maintenance costs for you as the homeowner.
  2. Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs): Similar to solar leases, PPAs allow you to purchase the power generated by the solar panels on your home at a fixed price per kilowatt-hour. With a PPA, you don’t own the solar panels, but you benefit from the reduced electricity costs.
  3. Solar loans: Some solar companies offer zero down solar loans that allow you to pay for the solar panels over a set term. This means you own the solar panels and can take advantage of federal and state tax credits and incentives.
  4. Solar incentives and rebates: Many states and municipalities offer incentives and rebates for homeowners who install solar panels on their homes. These can help reduce the overall cost of installation, making it easier to go solar without putting any money down.

In summary, homeowners can go solar without putting any money down by taking advantage of financing options such as solar leases, power purchase agreements, solar loans, and incentives and rebates. These options allow homeowners to start enjoying the benefits of solar panels, such as lower energy bills and increased home value, without having to pay any upfront costs.

Smart Investment?

Smart Investment?

If you’re thinking of investing in solar panels for your home, you may be wondering if it’s worth the cost. One major benefit that people often overlook is the long-term value it adds to your property. Here are some of the ways that solar panels can increase your home’s value:

  1. Attractiveness to prospective buyers: Homes that have solar panels installed are highly attractive to prospective buyers, especially those who are environmentally conscious or interested in saving on energy costs. This can result in a quicker sale and potentially higher offers, especially if solar panels are becoming more commonplace in your area.
  2. Energy savings: One of the major benefits of solar panel installation is the potential energy savings. With solar panels, you can generate your own energy, which can offset your monthly power bill and actually generate income through net metering. This can be a major selling point for those looking to purchase a home, especially those looking to minimize their monthly utility costs.
  3. Tax credits and incentives: Many states and municipalities offer tax credits and incentives for installing solar panels, making it easier and more affordable for homeowners to get into the solar game. This can be another selling point for buyers who are looking for an eco-friendly home, and can be highly attractive to millennials and younger home buyers who prioritize green living.
  4. Long-term savings: Solar panels have a long lifespan, often lasting up to 25-30 years or more. This means that you can enjoy energy savings for years to come, as well as the added bonus of added home value. Plus, solar panels require little to no maintenance, which makes them a hassle-free investment for homeowners.
  5. Increasing demand: As more people become aware of the benefits of solar panels, demand for solar-powered homes is likely to increase. This means that homeowners who invest in solar panels now will be ahead of the curve, especially if solar panels are still a rarity in their area.

In conclusion, investing in solar panels is a smart choice for homeowners looking to increase their property values in the long term. The value-add of solar panels can be significant, especially when factoring in energy savings, tax credits and incentives, and increased appeal to the younger, eco-conscious homebuyer. If you’re thinking of making the switch to solar, now is a great time to explore your options and invest in your home’s future value.

Moving?

Moving?

If you’re moving from a house that has solar panels, you have several options for what to do with them. Here are some of the most common options:

  1. Transfer the solar system: You can transfer the solar panels to your new house, assuming the new house is compatible with the solar panels, and you’re not leaving them as part of the sale agreement. It’s important to note that there may be costs associated with taking the panels down, transporting them, and reinstalling them at the new location.
     
    2. Leave the solar panels behind: If you’re selling your home, you may choose to leave the solar panels behind as part of the sale. This can be a selling point for buyers, especially if they’re interested in reducing their carbon footprint or saving money on energy bills. However, it’s important to make sure you have a clear understanding with the buyer about what will happen to the solar system after closing.

Ultimately, the best option for what to do with your solar panels when you move will depend on your specific situation. it’s important to do your research, get quotes from several companies, and work closely with your real estate agent to make an informed decision that benefits you and the next owner of your home.
