Question 1

How much will solar save me on my electric bill?

Accepted Answer

Savings depend on your location, electricity rates, system size, and financing. Many homeowners reduce their bill by 50–100%, and some eliminate it entirely. We’ll design a system that maximizes your savings and return on investment.

Question 2

What happens if my solar panels produce more electricity than I use?

Accepted Answer

If your state offers net metering, excess power goes back to the grid, and you receive credits on your electric bill. In some cases, you can pair solar with battery storage to save extra energy for later use.

Question 3

Do solar panels work on cloudy or rainy days?

Accepted Answer

Yes! While solar panels are most efficient in direct sunlight, they still generate power on cloudy days just at a lower rate. Over a full year, solar energy production balances out seasonal weather variations.

Question 4

How much does solar cost?

Accepted Answer

The cost varies based on system size, location, and equipment. However, with tax credits, incentives, and financing options, most homeowners can go solar with little to no upfront cost and start saving immediately. We help you explore all available options to get the best deal.

Question 5

What financing options are available for solar?

Accepted Answer

Homeowners can choose from:
 • Solar loans – Spread out payments with no money down and low interest rates.
 • Cash purchase – Get the highest savings over time.
 • Leases & PPAs (where available) – Pay lowest monthly amount, with no upfront cost.

Question 6

What happens if I sell my home after installing solar?

Accepted Answer

If you own your system, it can increase your home’s value and attract buyers. If you financed with a loan, you can transfer it to the buyer or pay it off with the proceeds from the sale. If you lease your system, most agreements allow you to transfer the lease to the new homeowner.

Question 7

How long do solar panels last?

Accepted Answer

Most panels last 25–30 years or more, with warranties guaranteeing performance over time. Even after 30 years, panels typically continue to produce at 80% or more of their original efficiency.

Question 8

Will my solar system work during a power outage?

Accepted Answer

If your system is connected to the grid without battery storage, it will shut off during an outage for safety reasons. However, adding a solar battery allows you to store energy and keep essential appliances running even when the grid is down.

Question 9

Will solar increase my home’s value?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Studies show homes with solar sell for more and sell faster than those without. Buyers appreciate lower energy costs and the long-term value of an owned solar system.

Question 10

Why should I go with Girdler Solar instead of a big solar company?

Accepted Answer

Most solar companies push their own products and have hidden costs built into their pricing. As an independent solar broker, we work for YOU not the solar company helping you find the best price, equipment, and financing available. You get better deals, better service, and zero sales pressure.
