What are the benefits of solar energy?
Solar energy reduces electricity costs, provides energy independence, and lowers carbon footprints. It's a sustainable choice that benefits both your wallet and the planet.How does solar installation work?
Solar installation involves placing solar panels on your roof or property to capture sunlight, which is then converted into electricity. Our team at Solar1 Roofing LLC ensures a seamless installation process tailored to your needs.What maintenance is required for solar panels?
Solar panels require minimal maintenance. Regular cleaning and occasional inspections are recommended to ensure optimal performance. Our team can assist with maintenance services as needed.How long do solar panels last?
Most solar panels have a lifespan of 25 to 30 years, with warranties often covering 20-25 years. They are designed to withstand various weather conditions, making them a durable investment.Are there incentives for solar installation in Pennsylvania?
Yes, Pennsylvania offers various incentives, including tax credits and rebates, to encourage solar adoption. Our team can help you navigate these options to maximize your savings.
How you pay for solar impacts your total cost and long-term savings. There are three main ways to pay for home solar:
- Purchase it with cash. If you can pay for your system upfront, a cash purchase will give you the best long-term savings.
- Take out a solar loan. A solar loan is right if you don’t want to shell out the cash required to pay for a system upfront. Some solar loans don't require any money down, allowing you to start saving on day one. You'll own your system, so you'll receive any available incentives.
- Sign a solar lease. A solar lease or power purchase agreement (PPA) is a good option if you’d prefer someone else to monitor and maintain your system. Just keep in mind, you won't own the panels on your roof and you'll have the lowest long-term savings with a lease or PPA.
