Use the App to Keep Track of Your Generation
All of our residential solar systems come with free lifetime production monitoring through the app connected to your inverters.This can be accessed by mobile or web browser. We’ll give you your login information after the installation process. Monitoring how much power you’re generating is satisfying, and can help troubleshoot any issues.
Will the application process be lengthy and tedious?
Not for the homeowner! We take care of everything except for a few signatures from the homeowner now and then.
In how many years will I see the financial break even point for my solar installation?
Every situation is different but generally break even is 10-15 years for homes.
What about hail?
Modern panels are tested for hail. They can withstand an incredible beating in hail storms. But if a freak storm rolls through, home insurance covers any damage.
During the brutal hail storms of Summer 2020, not one of our solar arrays sustained damage.
How long will my solar panels last?
Solar panels installed 40 years ago, with older technology, are working just fine nowadays. They have no moving parts – they will last a very, very long time.e.
What if we don't plan to stay in our home or business for 25 years?
Going solar will increase the equity of ones home. By how much is hard to say as it’s early days for the AB market. In California people saw a 3-5% increase in equity according to a Berkley study.
Will my system still run during a blackout?
- Solar + Battery Backup: Yes! A battery system automatically isolates your home from the grid in milliseconds and creates its own backup power loop. Your essential circuits stay on, and your solar panels will continue to power your home and recharge the battery while the sun is out.
Standard Solar (No Battery): No. For safety reasons, utility regulations require grid-tied solar inverters to shut off during an outage so power lines are safe for utility repair workers.
Should I install battery storage with my solar panels?
Battery storage is ideal for homeowners who want greater energy independence and peace of mind. Instead of sending all excess daytime solar back to the grid, a battery lets you store that power to run your home in the evening or keep essential electronics running during a blackout.
A battery isn’t required for every solar setup, but if you want backup power and maximum control over your energy usage, it’s a fantastic upgrade. All Solar YYC systems are built battery-ready for easy integration down the road!
Can I start small and then increase the size of my system over time?
Yes, solar arrays can always be expanded upon.
