Frequently Asked Questions

Savings on electric bill.
We want to help you decrease that electric bill.

An Asset Is Better Than a Liability.
Residential rates increased 15% across the nation from January 2009 to January 2019. Paying an electric bill is comparable to a liability that keeps taking more and more money with no return. However, an investment in solar panels will have a positive return.

Property value.
Solar panels that you have purchased may increase the value of your home. A new Zillow analysis reveals that solar panels that have been purchased increase the home’s value by 4.1% across the U.S.

If you can pay your electric bill then you can afford to go solar. You can install a solar system with STATIC Solar for $0 down

When it comes to reliability, solar panels can be quite durable, but the level of reliability can vary based on factors like quality and brand. We typically recommend Tier 1 solar panels to our customers due to their high quality and performance.

These panels are known for their resilience against various weather conditions, including hail and strong winds, making them a reliable choice for long-term energy generation. Additionally, Tier 1 panels often come with extensive warranties, providing added peace of mind for homeowners.

Overall, opting for Tier 1 panels ensures that you're investing in a reliable and efficient solar energy system for your home or business.

Solar panels work by absorbing solar radiation. Sun rays hit the silicon cell on the solar panel and electrons are set in motion. Those electrons create a flow of electricity. A system of nodes and wiring captures this flow of electricity in the solar panel. The solar panel system will send this direct current (DC) to a solar inverter which converts the direct current into alternating current (AC) which can be used in your home.

Net metering is a system that electric companies use. After you install solar panels on your roof, some utility companies will actually give you a credit for any electricity that you produce and send back to the grid. You only pay for the electricity that you use beyond what your solar panels can generate.

Some roofs are better for solar than others. In general, if your roof regularly receives sunlight throughout the day it will work for solar panels but we won’t know for sure until we take a look at it.

During days that are cloudy or stormy your solar is still working. While its true the panels won’t produce as much power as sunny days, your solar is still producing electricity. We account for those cloudy days based on years of historical weather patterns so you can rest assured the yearly estimated energy for your system will be accurate.

Solar is meant to hold up against various types of weather. Small to medium sized hail typically won’t damage your solar system. If have large to extreme size hail and the solar panels are damaged we will work with your homeowners insurance to get your panels up and running ASAP.

For grid tied systems if you have a power outage at your home due to the grid going down the solar system will detect this outage and immediately shut down. The main reason for this is to protect anyone potentially working on the downed line.

Once the grid power is back up your system will automatically detect this and turn back on. If you invest in a battery backup system your system would automatically switch to your backup battery power and the circuits you have dedicated to that battery would still have power. Once the grid power comes back on the battery would assume its default operation.

Yes, even with solar panels and a battery system installed, your property will typically remain connected to the grid. This connection is often required for safety reasons and to comply with city regulations.

However, having a battery can provide added freedom from the grid by allowing you to store excess energy generated during the day and use it during power outages or during times when solar production is low, thereby reducing reliance on the grid.
