As a clean energy advocate, I am dedicated to promoting sustainable practices and reducing carbon footprints.
My goal is to provide
exceptional service and ensure
complete satisfaction with every installation.
The process includes an initial consultation, site assessment, system design, installation, and post-installation support.
Savings depend on your energy consumption, location, and the size of the solar system. On average, homeowners can save 75% – 90% on their energy bills.
Yes, solar energy is a clean and renewable source of energy that reduces carbon emissions and dependence on fossil fuels
Solar panels typically have a lifespan of 25-30 years with proper maintenance.
Successfully installed a 5kW solar system for a residential property, resulting in 100% energy savings.
Implemented a large-scale solar power system for a commercial building, reducing their energy costs by 90%.
Provided ongoing maintenance and support for a solar farm, ensuring optimal performance and longevity.
The first thing you need is a space where a solar array can be installed.
This could be on your roof, on a patio cover, a car port or on a metal structure constructed specifically for solar somewhere on your property (ground mounted). Where ever the solar array is located will need to be relatively free of shade for at least 6 hours per day. Shade is of course a killer for solar. Roof mounted arrays are less expensive than an array mounted on the ground. Ground mounted arrays are easier to clean and service. A solar array doesn’t have to be south facing, west or east facing works as well.
Whether you buy the system with a bank loan or lease it you’ll need a good credit score – 650 or above. If that isn’t an option you may be able to qualify for HERO or PACE loan, these are location specific, call us for details. If you don’t want to buy or lease the system you can just sign a power purchase agreement (PPA) and just pay for the power it produces at lower rate than what you’re currently paying the utility. There are numerous options.
Your name should be on the deed. If you rent, pass our name along to your landlord. Your landlord could have solar installed with your encouragement and just bill you for the electricity, hopefully at a lower rate. You’d have to negotiate that with the Landlord.
Will my roof leak? This is major concern for most of our customers. To this we can answer an emphatic NO! Solar Symphony has never had a roof leak. The products, engineered systems, and methodology that we use to attach the solar system to your roof make the possibility of a roof leak extremely unlikely. We always have at least two layers of protection (a flashing and a counter flashing). We go to extraordinary lengths to ensure everything is water tight. In the very unlikely event of a roof leak we have the longest warranty in the business, 20 years. We will repair the leak, and as long as notice of the leak is provided in a timely manner we will repair or replace other damage caused by the leak.
This is a fun one. We’ve found a lot of our competitors try and differentiate themselves by telling customers they have proprietary software that will right-size your system saving you money. They say things like, “We’re the best value because we won’t sell you a bigger system than you need”. Which typically means they’re selling you a smaller system at a higher cost per panel (cost per Watt). Or they’ll say “we size your solar system to optimize the financial return”. Which is another way of saying we size your system to take care of only tier 3 and 4 electricity (the most expensive). That is great for this year but what happens in 2 or 3 years when the utility gets rid of the tiered rate structure because so many people have gone solar that they’re losing money?
In 2017 the most compelling values in solar are to be found in the commercial space. There are two main reasons for this: economies of scale and two major tax incentives. As the size of a solar installation increases the cost of the system on a per Watt or per panel basis goes down significantly. These lower prices of course provide a much quicker return on investment and in general a more compelling value for the system owner.
In addition to the low prices, there are often hundreds of thousands and sometimes millions of dollars in avoided tax payments created by a commercial solar installation. The Solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC) is equal to 30% of the cost of the system. The ITC is a tax credit—a dollar-for-dollar reduction in taxes owed. A taxpayer that claims the commercial ITC for a solar PV system can typically also take advantage of accelerated depreciation (MACRS) which allows the system to be depreciated over 5 years with the depreciation front loaded at the beginning of the period.
All of this equates to very compelling electricity costs from solar for commercial customers. 1 to 4 cents per kWhr over the system life is typical. This makes solar less expensive than even the wholesale cost of electricity in the United States! And that cost is fixed since the power plant is on your roof or property.
