Why Solar Is Right For Your Home
Getting the power of the sun for your home might sound big. But these days, solar energy is easier to get and more helpful than ever for homeowners.
The team at Clean Energy USA wants everyday homeowners to access solar energy and get those benefits. The first step is checking if solar energy works for your home. Here are a few questions we ask our customers who want to power their home with solar energy.

What do you pay for electricity each year?
Have you ever given much thought about how much money you spend for electricity? $1,500 ? $2,000? More?
Did you know that if your electric bill is just $150 per month, in ten year’s time you will have spent over $20,000. In 30 years that figure will explode to almost $90,000 ! That’s the cost of doing nothing.
If you could keep $65,000 to $70,000 of that cost in your pocket, do you think it would be a worthwhile investment?
By the way, those cost estimates assume the energy grid stays as stable as it has been for the last few years and there are no disruptions in the flow of energy globally which could spark significant and unpredictable cost increases.
Understanding how much money you spend is the first step in understanding why solar is such a sound investment.
What kind of roof do you have?
Clean Energy USA has experience installing solar panels on many different types of roofs. Let us know what kind of roof you have and we'll take it from there.
If you think you may need to do a little roof work first, no problem. We partner with many local area roofers to build an integrated installation project.
To be clear there are some roofs which aren’t good for solar but they are few and far between. A conversation with one of our consultants will identify any potentials well ahead of us going forward with an installation.
How long have you had your current roof?
Solar panels generally have a useful life of 30 years. It is usually best to install on newer roofs (less than 10 years old), but there is no reason why an older roof that's in good shape can't be used. On the other hand, if you were thinking about replacing the roof, then adding solar at the same time would be a great choice.
Most roof warranties are not affected by the installation of solar panels. Our ten-year installer's warranty will supersede the roof warranty wherever our system attaches to your home.
How much sunlight does your roof receive?
The best roof surfaces for solar are those facing south with very little shade. That said, a little shade is often not a problem. We have systems which can account for “intermittent shade”.
Most people have a pretty good idea where the sunny sides of their houses are, but not to worry, we will analyze where the best areas are and give you a fair assessment if your home has what it takes for solar.
