How Does Solar Work at Night When There is No Sun?
This is a common question that we get, and the answer is simple; it’s called Net Metering. In short, Net Metering means that homeowners who have solar receive a credit for the excess energy that is generated from their solar system to use later at night or on a cloudy day when there is no sun. This means in most cases; you don’t need a battery. Each utility has a different program for this, CLICK HERE to learn what is available in your specific area.
My Roof Has a Bunch of Shade, Will I Still Qualify?
There are many different options when it comes to going solar. We can trim or remove trees, do a ground mounted solar system or we can pull a shade report and see how much shade you actually have. With the advanced technology our team uses, in many cases, we can still work with a roof that has some shade. CLICK HERE to set up a site survey so we see if your home qualifies.
Do We Offer Batteries?
At Sunny Side Solar we offer the Tesla Powerwall 3 or the Solar Edge batter. That said, if your utility company offers Net Metering then you don’t need a battery, unless you are concerned about power outages. If you are concerned about outages, we got you covered, as we have many great options available to add a battery to your solar system. CLICK HERE to schedule a brief discovery call to learn more.

Is There a Tax Credit? I Have Heard if I Lease the Solar That I Won’t Get the Tax Credit, is That True?
Yes, there is currently a federal tax credit as well as some state incentives, however whether you qualify or not is the bigger question. In any case, if you do qualify for a tax credit in most scenarios the homeowners do not end up being able to keep the tax credit. There are several factors to consider. Do you have taxable income? Are you planning on moving out of your home in the next 5 years? Do you own a business? Simply put, if you own the solar system you could qualify for a tax credit, if you choose to have us own the solar then there is no tax credit. Which is better for you depends on your specific situation. Click Here to book a 10-minute discovery call to see what options you have.
Who Maintains the System?
That depends, if you own the system, you are responsible for system maintenance; if we own the system we cover all maintenance, insurance and warranties. For this reason, many homeowners find it most beneficial to let us own the solar so we can take the risk, while you enjoy all of the benefits of solar and a reduced electric bill with no risk and no investment.
What if My Roof Needs Replaced After the Solar is Installed?
This is exactly why we inspect your roof before we install solar on your roof.
