Frequently Asked Questions
Residential solar systems convert sunlight into electricity using solar panels installed on your roof. This electricity can power your home, and excess energy can be stored or fed back into the grid.
Installing solar panels can significantly reduce your electricity bills, increase your property value, and provide potential tax credits and rebates. Over time, the savings on energy costs can offset the initial installation investment.
Solar panels alone will not work during a power outage unless paired with a battery storage system like the Tesla Powerwall. This setup allows you to store excess energy and use it when the grid is down.
Solar panels are designed to last 25-30 years. Most come with warranties guaranteeing performance for 20-25 years, ensuring reliable energy production for decades.
Residential solar systems require minimal maintenance. Regular cleaning of the panels and annual inspections to check for any issues with wiring or inverters are typically sufficient to keep your system running efficiently.
Factors such as roof orientation, shading, and roof condition affect suitability. Our experts at CKR Solar will conduct a thorough assessment of your home to determine its solar potential and provide you with a customized solution.
Net metering allows you to send excess electricity your solar system generates back to the grid in exchange for credits on your utility bill, helping to maximize your savings.
Shading can impact the efficiency of solar panels. However, our experts can assess your property and design a system that maximizes sunlight exposure or recommend alternatives like ground-mounted systems.
