FAQ
Affordability and Financing
How much does it cost to install solar panels?
The cost depends on your home and energy needs, but with Solify’s financing options and access to government incentives, many homeowners can switch to solar for little to no upfront cost.
What if I can’t qualify for financing?
Solify works with multiple financial partners to find the best option for you, regardless of your credit score. We also offer short-term leases to make solar accessible for everyone.
Will my energy bills go away completely?
While you may still have a small connection fee to your utility company, many Solify customers reduce their energy bills by over 20% from day one, depending on their system and energy usage.
If it’s cheap, does that mean it’s low quality?
Absolutely not! Our affordability comes from efficiency, automation, and cutting out middlemen, not compromising on quality. We use top-tier black-on-black panels and industry-leading inverters to ensure high performance, reliability, and aesthetics – just like the best providers in the industry.
Installation Process
How will the panels be installed on my roof?
Our certified local installers carefully secure panels using non-invasive methods to protect your roof. Every installation is inspected to ensure safety and durability.
Do I need to prepare my home before installation?
Not at all! Our team takes care of everything, from site evaluation to permits, so you can sit back and relax.
What happens if my roof isn’t in good condition?
If your roof needs repairs, we’ll help assess the situation and connect you with trusted professionals to make it solar-ready.
Performance and Efficiency
How efficient are solar panels in the winter or on cloudy days?
Solar panels still generate electricity on cloudy days and even in snowy conditions. In fact, cold temperatures can make them more efficient.
What happens at night when there’s no sunlight?
During the day, excess energy produced is either stored in a battery (if you have one) or sent to the grid, which you can draw from at night through net metering if it’s available in your state.
How long will the solar panels last?
Our panels are designed to last 25 years or more, and we back them with warranties to give you peace of mind.
Incentives and Savings
Can I really take advantage of tax credits and incentives?
Yes! Solify handles all the paperwork to make sure you get the Federal Solar Tax Credit (30%) and any other state or local incentives available.
How soon will I see savings?
Many homeowners see savings on their very first energy bill after installation. With lower monthly payments, you’ll start saving right away.
Are there additional savings besides lower energy bills?
Absolutely. Solar can increase your home’s value and protect you from rising utility rates, providing long-term financial benefits.
If I choose a lease, will I lose out on government incentives?
Not at all! While the incentives go to the system owner (us, in this case), we pass those savings directly to you by reducing your monthly lease payments. With Solify, you still benefit from lower costs and affordable solar, without the hassle of managing the incentives yourself.
Environmental Impact
Will switching to solar actually help the environment?
Yes! Solar energy reduces your carbon footprint, cuts down on fossil fuel reliance, and contributes to a cleaner planet for future generations.
How much CO2 can I save by switching to solar?
On average, a residential solar system offsets 3–4 tons of CO2 per year – equivalent to planting 100 trees annually.
Maintenance and Support
How much maintenance do solar panels require?
Solar panels are low-maintenance. Regular cleaning and occasional inspections are usually enough to keep them performing at their best.
Who do I contact if something goes wrong?
With Solify you can easily reach our team for support or service. Plus, our warranties cover both the equipment and installation.
What if I need to move after installing solar?
Solar adds value to your home, making it an attractive feature for buyers. Alternatively, you can transfer the system to your new home if feasible.

General Concerns
What happens during a power outage?
If you have a battery backup system, it will keep your essential appliances running during an outage. Without a battery, your system shuts off for safety reasons but resumes once power is restored.
Can I customize the system to fit my needs?
Absolutely! Solify designs solar systems tailored to your home’s energy requirements, ensuring maximum efficiency and savings.
What if I change my mind after signing up?
We offer a no-risk process with transparent contracts. If you change your mind during the designated review period, there’s no penalty.
