Residential solar energy harnesses the power of sunlight to provide sustainable electricity right at your doorstep.

It all begins with photovoltaic (PV) panels installed on the roof or in the yard, strategically positioned to capture maximum sunlight throughout the day. These panels contain silicon cells that convert sunlight into direct current (DC) electricity.

An inverter then converts this DC electricity into alternating current (AC), which is what powers your home appliances and lighting. Any excess electricity generated during sunny periods can be stored in batteries for later use or fed back into the grid for credit through a process called net metering.

Through this elegant process, residential solar energy not only reduces electricity bills but also contributes to a cleaner, greener future for generations to come.

Solar affordability has dramatically increased in recent years thanks to advancements in technology and government incentives.

With falling prices for solar panels and generous tax credits or rebates available in many regions, homeowners and businesses alike can now invest in solar energy at a fraction of the cost compared to a decade ago.

Additionally, innovative financing options such as solar leases and power purchase agreements make going solar accessible to those without upfront capital, further democratizing renewable energy adoption.

Investing in solar energy significantly boosts home value by offering long-term savings on energy bills and increasing market appeal.

Homes with solar installations typically sell faster and at higher prices due to their lower operating costs and eco-friendly credentials, attracting environmentally conscious buyers and demonstrating a commitment to sustainability.

Additionally, studies consistently show that solar-equipped homes command a premium in real estate markets, making solar a wise investment for homeowners looking to maximize their property's worth.

Solar panels are made to look clean and modern. At Quality Solar, we use black panels with a black backing and hide the wires to keep everything neat.

The way your house faces is important. A south-facing roof is best because it gets the most sunlight without affecting the design.

We also have different panel options. Our team will help you choose the best look for your home while keeping it energy-efficient.

The solar installation process has several steps, each with its own timeline

• Home assessment & consultation: Within 5 days

• Permitting: 2 to 6 weeks

• Installation: 1 to 2 days

• Financing, incentives & utility connection: About 30 days

Some companies require homeowners to wait up to 2 months after permit approval for installation. At Quality Solar, we keep the process smooth, ensuring installation happens within 2 weeks of permit approval.

No, your solar system stays connected to the grid.

This means you can still use power from the grid when your system isn’t producing enough. Any extra power your system generates goes back to the grid. In areas with net metering, you get credit for this extra energy, which can help reduce or even eliminate your electric bill.

Some Homeowner Associations (HOAs) have rules about changes to your home's exterior. Getting HOA approval for solar installation is a normal step in the process.

If needed, Quality Solar can help with the paperwork to get approval from your HOA, making the process easy for you.

Yes! Installing solar on a new roof is a great idea. Quality Solar can work with your roofing contractor to make the process smooth.

If your roof is less than 5 years old, it’s a great fit for solar. If it’s over 10 years old, you may want to replace it before installing solar panels.

Solar systems offer many long-term benefits, such as

• Lower electricity bills

• Protection from rising utility rates

• Higher home value

• A smaller environmental footprint

There are also short-term financial incentives, like:

• Solar Renewable Energy Credits (SRECs)

• Solar Investment Tax Credits (ITC)

Solar panels are a permanent part of your home and should be covered by your insurance. However, we recommend notifying your provider after installation to ensure they have it documented for any future claims.
