Answers to Common Solar Questions in California
Yes. Most California homeowners see a significant reduction in their electricity bills thanks to abundant sunshine and high utility rates. Many even achieve full energy independence.
Absolutely. Beyond the 30% Federal Solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC), California offers additional incentives such as Net Energy Metering (NEM 3.0), state-specific solar rebates, and utility buyback programs.
It depends on your property size, roof orientation, and monthly energy usage. Most homes in California need between 15–25 residential solar panels.
In California’s sunny climate, a typical residential solar panel produces 300–400 watts per hour, generating more annual energy compared to most U.S. states.
An inverter converts the direct current (DC) electricity generated by your solar panels into alternating current (AC), which powers your home.
Yes. Stand-alone solar systems are popular for cabins, tiny homes, and remote properties without grid access.
From permit approval to final inspection, most California solar panel installations are completed within 30 to 45 days. Some jurisdictions with streamlined permitting may complete projects even faster.
Solar panels are low-maintenance. Occasional cleaning (especially in dusty or coastal areas) and an annual inspection are typically enough to maintain peak performance.
Most solar panel installations in California include a 25-year panel warranty, 10–25-year inverter warranty, and workmanship guarantees from certified local installers for added peace of mind.
