<h1>Frequently Asked Questions About Solar</h1>
<h5>How Do Solar Panels Work?</h5>
Solar panels capture the sun's energy and convert it into electric power for you to use. When they capture more power than you use, they feed it back into the grid and power others that don't have solar installed.</p>
<h5>What if I Sell My Home?</h5>
<p>After having solar installed, your home's value increases dollar for dollar. Selling it should be easier than ever. If you have financing on your solar, you can either pay it off, or we can help you transfer the payments to the new owner</p>
<h5>How do I get my tax rebate?</h5>
<p>You should be able to apply for a tax credit when you file your normal annual taxes. We recommend consulting with a tax professional if you have any concerns.</p>
<h5>What Happens on Cloudy Days?</h5>
<p>All of our solar installations are grid-tied. That means that you are always connected to your local utility company so you always have access to power, as well as the ability to put power back on the grid. This means when the sun isn't out, you will still have power. When the clouds go away, your solar system will automatically begin working again.</p>
<h5>Do I Need to Clean my Panels?</h5>
<p>Solar panels do lose some effectiveness when they are dirty. If they're covered in leaves or other debris, we strongly recommend clearing them. If they just have bit of dust or dirt on them, you don't need to worry. You may want to hit them with a hose from time to time, but you don't need to make any special effort.</p>

<h5>How Will Solar Panels Look?</h5>

<h5>How Long Does Installation Take?</h5>

<h5>Do Your Work with Power Wall?</h5>

<h5>How much do Solar Panels Cost?</h5>
<p>Solar panel costs have fallen significantly in the last 5 years and now installing solar panels can be one of the best investments you can make for your home. There are also now a lot of products on the market utilizing sophisticated financing vehicles to make solar panels for your home affordable.</p>
<h5>How Long do Solar Panels Last?</h5>
<p>A well designed, installed, and maintained solar system will last as long as 30 years. Many newly designed panels can even last longer (though their efficiency does diminish some over time.) Your panels can easily pay for themselves several times over their lifespan.</p>
<h5>How Many Panels do I Need?</h5>
<p>Every home is different and uses power differently. Depending on the size of your home and how efficient your insulation and large appliances are, it can change significantly. We can assess how many panels you will need to fully power your home based on your average monthly bill.
