FAQs
How much does it cost?
People often ask how much it costs to go solar. This depends entirely on the amount of electricity that you use. If your usage is higher, you will need a larger system to offset your bill. The average sized residential system that we encounter ranges from $25,000-$45,000.
Are the products warrantied?
All of the products that we offer are considered tier one products. This means that they are of the highest quality and have the best warranties associated with them. Manufacturer warranties on solar panels and microinverters are 25 years and panels also have production warranties up to 30 years!
What is my return on investment?
Our customers typically see returns on their solar investments after 5-8 years. It can be as low as 2-3 years with larger systems.
What do I do about snow accumulation?
Panels are placed on the most productive areas of your roof (South facing elevations) and are the quickest areas to heat up and for snow to melt. Small amounts of snow heat up and slide off on their own. For larger snow accumulation, you may want to brush off with an extendable non-abrasive broom to ensure that your solar panels are producing as much energy as possible. Roofbrums are included with the purchase of every residential solar system.
What is 1:1 Net Metering?
Minnesota is one of the last states in the country to offer true net metering. This means that your utility company pays YOU full market value for excess electricity that your system generates that you don’t use.
Net metering is offered as an early adopter incentive within markets and is typically revoked at a later date. Those taking advantage while true net metering is offered, are grandfathered in for the entire life of the solar system.
MNSF1142 is a bill that was introduced in February of 2025 to change which systems in the state qualify for true net metering. Legislators are trying to take this away for residential consumers. The time to take advantage is now.
