FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Here in Los Angeles, you are in the perfect part of the world to harness the energy of the sun to power your home and save money on your utility bills. If you are thinking about getting solar installation in Los Angeles, you probably have a few questions. Below, you can find answers to some of the questions asked most often by our customers.

Solar modules are set up on your roof. During the day, the molecules in the panels react to the sun as it shines down on them. This results in electrons flowing, a.k.a. electricity. This electricity is then converted in the inverter to grid standard AC power. The AC power travels to an electric panel. From there, it can power devices in your household. If your panels generate excess power, it returns to the grid.
This can vary quite a bit depending on how many panels you want to install, the structure of your home, your exact location, and a variety of other factors. We offer a free consultation so that you can find out exactly what kind of cost outlay you can expect before committing.
Customers save around 20% on average, but savings can vary depending on your usage and the layout you select. You may even end up generating more energy than you use, in which case you could cover the full cost of your monthly bill.
You may be able to cover the monthly cost of the power you use each month in full. But keep in mind there is a fee to remain connected to the grid, and you will still need to pay that regardless.
In most locations in the US, currently the answer to that is “no.” The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power however has re-launched its Feed-in- Tariff program, so depending on the details of your project and your exact location, it is possible that you can earn some rebates for the excess energy you produce.

Yes! While the cost savings alone are a great incentive, there are other reasons to install solar panels as well. For one, you reduce your energy footprint, which protects the environment.
