Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to questions our clients commonly ask.

1. What are the benefits of switching to solar energy?

Switching to solar energy can significantly reduce or eliminate your electricity bills, decrease your carbon footprint, and contribute to a more sustainable and eco-friendly lifestyle.

2. How much can I save?

The amount you can save depends on various factors, including your energy consumption, location, and available incentives. In Florida, homeowners save an average of over $1,400 annually over the lifespan of their solar energy system.

3. How does solar energy work for residential properties?

Solar panels capture sunlight and convert it into electricity through photovoltaic cells. This electricity is then used to power your home, and any excess can be fed back into the grid.

4. Is my location suitable for solar?

Most locations with a reasonable amount of sunlight are suitable for solar installation. Our team will conduct a site assessment to determine the feasibility of solar energy for your specific location.

5. How do solar panels work?

Solar panels consist of highly conductive materials, utilizing sunlight to generate direct current electricity. Given that most residences and businesses operate on alternating current, inverters are employed in solar panels to convert the direct current into alternating current. This converted electricity then flows through the property wiring of your home, mimicking the process of power from the grid.

6. What sets Allstate Solar apart from other solar companies?

Allstate Solar distinguishes itself through industry expertise, top-tier solar products, excellent customer service, and a commitment to providing customized solutions to meet your energy needs.

7. How much will I save on my electric bills?

The amount of savings you achieve will be influenced by your energy consumption, geographical location, and the electricity rates set by your utility provider. Nevertheless, in the majority of instances, Allstate Solar strives to compensate for 100% of your electricity consumption with a solar PV installation. This results in you paying minimal transmission fees, often as low as $5 or $15 per month.

8. What if I have bad credit?

At Expert Solar, our enthusiasm for solar is so profound that we’ve established collaborations with financial entities specialized in funding solar initiatives. This makes solar accessible to everyone, regardless of their financial circumstances.

9. Can you tell me about the tax credit?

The investment tax credit (ITC), also known as the federal solar tax credit, allows you to deduct 30 percent of the cost of installing a solar energy system from your federal taxes. Learn more about how the ITC can help decrease your cost for a solar panel system.

10. What does no money down mean? I know solar can't be free.

When Expert Solar tells you no money down, we mean:

There are no up-front costs
The proposal and quote process is free of charge
The installation of the solar panels are at no additional cost to the customer, no money upfront, no money down.
Monthly payments are simple, no hidden fees, no surprises, it’s exactly what we tell you when you finish the credit application and qualify for a banking option.

11. What's maintenance like?

Solar panels require very little maintenance. In fact, your air conditioner needs more maintenance than your solar panels will. Solar panels don’t have any moving parts and so there is very little chance of anything breaking.

12. How long does installation take?

The installation timeline varies, but on average, residential installations take a few days to a couple of weeks, depending on the complexity of the project.
