Will my HOA allow solar panels?

Nevada law protects your right to install solar. HOAs can set reasonable rules about placement but can't block installations. We handle all HOA paperwork and follow their guidelines.

How many panels do I need?

Depends on your power bills and roof space. Most Vegas homes need 16-24 panels to offset their usage. We check your actual power bills and design a system that makes sense.

What happens during power outages?

Without batteries, solar shuts off when the grid goes down (required by law). Add a battery system and your essential items stay powered during outages.

Do panels damage my roof?

No. We use mounting systems designed specifically for Vegas homes. Every roof penetration gets sealed and flashed properly. Our workmanship warranty covers your roof for 10 years.

How do I clean the panels?

Rain handles most cleaning. Desert dust usually rinses off. If production drops, we check if cleaning would help. Don't climb on your roof - let our team handle it safely.

What about hail and storms?

Panels are tested to handle one-inch hail at 50 mph. They protect your roof from storm damage. If something does break, our warranty covers it.

How long do panels last?

Quality panels work for 25+ years. Output slowly decreases over time. American-made panels hold their efficiency better than cheaper options.

Do you use subcontractors?

Never. Our own employees handle every installation. They're background checked, fully trained, and care about quality work.

What about selling my house?

Solar usually increases home value. We help transfer warranties and teach new owners how everything works. We stick around after the sale.

What maintenance is needed?

Very little. No moving parts means less wear. We monitor performance remotely and alert you to any issues. Annual checkups recommended but not required.

How long does installation take?

Most homes take 1-2 days for panel installation. Full project timeline (including permits and utility approval) runs 4-6 weeks.

What about nights and cloudy days?

Net metering lets you bank extra power with NV Energy. Use those credits when the sun isn't shining. Panels still work on cloudy days, just produce less power.

What tax credits can I get?

Federal tax credit covers 30% of total system cost. Nevada has extra incentives through NV Energy. Talk to your tax advisor about your situation.

Do panels work in Vegas heat?

Yes. We use panels rated for desert conditions. They work best around 75°F but still produce well in summer heat. Output drops slightly on very hot days.

Can I install panels myself?

No. Nevada requires licensed contractors for solar work. DIY installations void warranties and may not pass inspection or qualify for tax credits.

What if I need a new roof soon?

Get the roof done first. We inspect your roof before designing any solar system. If repairs are needed, we handle that before installation.

How much does solar cost?

Every home is different. System size, roof type, electrical needs all affect price. We give exact quotes after checking your situation, not ballpark guesses.
