Residential solar panels are a sizable investment for most homeowners. Although the return-on-investment makes it a worthwhile financial endeavor, the thought of “going solar” likely produces a few questions. One of your main questions would probably be, “how many solar panels do I need to power my property?”

As a homeowner, you probably have a lot of questions about solar energy. One of the top questions we receive from anyone considering solar panels is, “How long does the installation process take?” and “When are the solar panels switched on?” Understandably, customers want to know how long it will take after signing a contract to finish the solar project so that the energy savings can begin rolling in. 

Utility prices are constantly on the rise for businesses of all sizes, which makes running any company increasingly expensive by the day. But there’s some good news shining through: Solar power has never been more affordable. 

There are many incentives that help make the addition of solar to your home or business financially sound. One of those incentives are Solar Renewable Energy Credits (SREC) and in order to reap the benefits, you’ll need to act fast!

Nationwide, interest in residential solar energy is on the rise, with nearly five in 10 homeowners in the United States saying they’ve given “serious thought” to installing residential solar panels, according to the findings of a recent survey conducted by nonprofit Pew Research Center. 

Solar panel systems are a proven, reliable technology that offers long-term performance, little maintenance, and constant energy savings. The latest solar panel and photovoltaic (PV) systems are less expensive, easier to install and operate, and more efficient than ever before—as such, it’s crucial to know how to size your solar power system in order to maximize the benefits.

One of the strongest selling points of residential solar energy has always been that it’s an investment that eventually pays for itself. Upfront costs are paid back in the reduction—or complete elimination—of electric bills, and most solar customers should expect to see a significant return on their initial investment over the lifetime of the system. 

Before we shine a light on solar panels and how they work, there’s a couple of basic details about the sun that you should know: It’s really, really big and though it’s been around for a really, really long time, it’s only middle aged for a sun. OK, let’s expand on that just a bit.
