Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions About Solar Panels

How much do solar panels cost in Florence, AL?+
The average residential solar system in the Florence area costs $15,000–$30,000 before the 30% federal tax credit. After the tax credit, most homeowners pay $10,500–$21,000. The exact cost depends on your home's energy needs and system size.
How much will I save with solar panels?+
Most Shoals area homeowners save $1,500–$3,000 per year on electricity bills. Over the 25-year life of the system, total savings typically range from $20,000–$50,000. Most homeowners see a full return on investment within 7–10 years.
Do solar panels work well in Alabama?+
Absolutely! Alabama receives an average of 5.2 peak sun hours per day — more than enough for excellent solar production. The Southeast is one of the best regions in the US for solar energy generation.
How long does solar installation take?+
Most residential solar installations take 1–2 days for the physical installation. The entire process from contract to activation typically takes 4–8 weeks, including permitting and utility approval.
What happens when the power goes out?+
Standard grid-tied solar systems shut off during power outages for safety. However, if you add a solar battery storage system, you can keep your essential appliances running during outages.
Do I need a new roof for solar panels?+
Your roof should be in good condition with at least 10–15 years of remaining life. If your roof needs replacement soon, it's best to do that first. We include a roof assessment with every solar consultation.
What maintenance do solar panels require?+
Solar panels require very little maintenance. Occasional cleaning and annual professional inspections are recommended. Most manufacturers offer 25-year warranties on panels and 10–12 year warranties on inverters.
Is there a tax credit for solar in Alabama?+
Yes! The federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC) gives you 30% back on your solar installation cost through 2032. This is a dollar-for-dollar tax credit, not a deduction. Alabama also has net metering policies that let you sell excess power back to the grid.
