Frequently Asked Questions
When should I expect to see savings?
Our estimates are based on annual solar production, so while savings will vary based on various factors, we anticipate you will see savings on your electric bill over the life of the system.
Will solar impact my property value?
Definitely! A study conducted by Zillow® concluded homes with solar panels sold for 4.1% more on average than comparable homes without solar power. While sale premiums vary by market, it is great to know that solar is attractive to many buyers.
What tax credits, rebates and incentives may be available for solar?
Solar rebates, tax credits and incentives vary depending on where you live. The most significant is the 26% federal investment tax credit (ITC), which allows you to deduct up to 26% of the cost of your solar energy system from your taxes and is currently available through 2022. Some states even offer additional tax credits, and certain municipalities and utilities also offer cash rebates or other incentives. These amounts are subject to change, so consult with a tax professional if you have any questions.
How much do solar roofs cost?
The number of solar shingles and shape of your roof factors into the overall cost, so it really depends on the specific sun exposure and design for your home. The beauty of a solar roof is you are purchasing a new roof and integrated lay-flat solar shingles all at one time – this is the optimum solution for maximum water integrity and leak prevention. Ask us for an estimate if you are interested.
What is net metering?
Net metering is a program that measures the electricity you receive from your utility, as well as any excess energy your solar system sends to your utility. Your utility will supply your net meter to keep track of what you consume from and export to the grid. You may receive credit for exported energy to help offset the cost of the utility electricity you consume.
Programs/availability differ from state to state, so please be sure to do your homework. Net metering and similar excess or buyback programs and participation vary by location and utility provider, and are subject to change from time to time. We do not make any guarantees. Check with your utility provider for details.
What happens if my panels produce more electricity than I use?
Depending on your state and utility company, you may be able to participate in a net metering program and potentially be credited for the excess energy that your solar panels generate. You can also elect to store the excess energy in a battery backup* for later use during a power outage or at night.
*Battery backup may not be available for GAF Solar Roofs at launch.
What is a solar inverter?
Solar inverters change the direct current (DC) from your solar panels into alternating current (AC) that your home can use for electricity.
How do solar panels work on my home?
When the sun shines on your solar panels, it creates an electric current that flows from your panels to your solar inverter. Next, the solar inverter converts the energy into alternating current (AC) and sends it to your breaker box, which you can use to power your home.
