Questions
Why should I install solar now?
Current federal tax credits cover 30% of system costs through 2023, with Washington state sales tax exemptions. Utility rates have increased 3-5% annually, making solar more cost-effective than ever.
How do I determine system size?
Review 12 months of utility bills to calculate average kWh usage. A 7kW system producing 9,310 kWh annually suits typical households using 20,000 kWh yearly, reducing bills by 40-80%.
Does the utility buy excess power?
Net metering agreements credit excess production at retail rates, rolling over annual balances until April 1st. You only pay base utility fees if system production matches consumption.
Can I monitor system performance?
Yes, microinverter systems provide panel-level monitoring via smartphone apps. String inverters offer system-wide performance tracking with optional optimizer upgrades for shaded installations.
What financing options exist?
Zero-down loans through Verity Credit Union and Tri-CU offer fixed rates with no early payoff penalties. Alternative buyers pay 50% upfront, with financing covering 100% of installation costs.
What warranties apply?
Panels carry 25-year production warranties, microinverters 25 years, and string inverters 10-12 years. Heliocol pool heating systems include 12-year full warranties with limited lifetime coverage.
