Frequently Asked Questions

How much money can I save on my electric bill with solar panels?

Our customers are seeing their electricity bills drop by 50-100+%. We're talking real savings – $1,800+ every year for the average home or business. Some of our customers even see their summer electric bills drop to almost zero! Of course, your exact savings will depend on things like how much energy you use and which way your roof faces, but we'll break all that down during your free consultation.

Walk me through the installation process – how long are we going to have folks on our roof?

Don't worry, we won't be camping out at your house for weeks! Here's the quick timeline:

- We'll pop by for a friendly chat and and do a full site survey (1 days)

- Our team designs your perfect system (3-5 days)

- The city folks do their permit thing (3-5 weeks, we handle all the paperwork!)

- The actual installation magic happens (usually just 1-3 days)

- Final checks and utility hookup (2-3 weeks)

From our first handshake to your first solar-powered cup of coffee: typically about 60-90 days.

How tough are these panels? Can they handle our crazy Midwest weather?

Yes! Modern solar panels are engineered to withstand Midwest weather conditions for 25-30 years. Our systems include:

  • 25-year manufacturer warranty on panels

  • 25-year performance guarantee

  • 25-year workmanship warranty

  • Protection against hail, snow, and high winds

Our systems continue producing at 92% efficiency or higher even after 25 years. -GUARANTEED

But what about winter? We're not exactly Miami here...

Here's something cool (pun intended!) – solar panels actually love our chilly Midwest winters! No joke. The cold weather helps the panels work more efficiently and the snow acts like nature's mirror, bouncing extra sunlight up onto your panels. Even on those famous gray Midwest days, your panels are still soaking up energy – they don't need bright sunshine to generate power, just daylight.

When we design your system, we factor in all four seasons because, let's face it, we get plenty of each here in the Midwest! We've got systems cranking out power from Des Moines to Kansas City, working hard through every blizzard, rainstorm, and heat wave.

At the end of the day, we wouldn't install anything we wouldn't put on our own homes! And we guarantee that!

2025 Incentives Available

✓ 30% Federal Tax Credit

That's a dollar-for-dollar reduction on your federal taxes worth 30% of your total solar investment. For the average Kansas City system costing $14,000, you'll get about $4,200 back on your taxes - it's that simple!

✓ 100% Property Tax Exemption

Your property value will increase with solar panels, but your property taxes won't! Missouri exempts 100% of your solar system's value from property taxes, putting more money back in your pocket.

✓ Net Metering Credits

Generate excess electricity? Your utility company may credit your bill! Evergy offers full retail value for your extra power, while Ameren provides seasonal rates. These credits offset the electricity you use at night.

✓ Utility Company Rebates
