Solar questions

Straight answers about cost, brownouts, net metering and roofs. Ask us anything else when we visit.

Questions people ask

CostHow much does a solar system cost?

It depends on how much electricity you use, your roof, and whether you want batteries. We visit, check your bill and roof, then give you a free written quote with the system size, the equipment and the full installed price. No obligation.

BrownoutsWill solar keep my lights on during a brownout?

Only if the system has a battery. A grid-tie system switches off when the grid goes down, for the safety of line workers. A hybrid system with a battery keeps your chosen circuits running, such as lights, fans, the ref and Wi-Fi.

Net meteringWhat is net metering?

Net metering lets you export the solar power you do not use to the grid. Your distribution utility, such as ZAMECO, DECORP, CENPELCO or PANELCO, credits each exported kWh at its blended generation cost and deducts the credit from your bill. It covers systems up to 100 kW under the Renewable Energy Act of 2008 (RA 9513), and we help with the application.

RoofIs my roof strong enough, and what about typhoons?

We check your roof during the site visit. Panels are fixed to the roof structure with rails and clamps for GI sheet, long-span or concrete roofs, and laid out to suit your roof and the local weather.

UpkeepHow much maintenance do solar panels need?

Very little. Rinse the panels when dust or leaves build up, especially in the dry season, and keep an eye on the inverter app. We are here for after-sales support if anything looks wrong.

InstallersDo you sell equipment to other installers?

Yes. We supply panels, inverters, batteries, mounting and protection to contractors and installers. Ask for our trade price list.
