Common questions
Straight answers about cost, ownership, and how the savings work in San Jose.
See all FAQs →How does a solar system work?+
Solar panels on your roof (or a ground mount) capture energy from the sun, and an inverter turns it into electricity you can use for lights, appliances, AC, and everything else — at home or at your business. Anything extra can flow back to the grid.
Is it really $0 out of pocket?+
Yes. With our power-purchase (PPA) and lease options there's no down payment and no separate equipment bill. Instead of paying the utility for power, you pay a lower, predictable rate for the clean power your system produces. Prefer to own? We also offer cash and financing options.
Do I own the panels?+
Your choice. With a PPA or lease, a financing partner owns and maintains the system and you simply buy the power it makes at a locked-in rate. With cash or ownership financing, the system is yours outright. We walk you through both on your free consultation.
How much does solar cost?+
It's customized to your energy use, roof, and sun exposure — there's no one-size price. Financing options remove the upfront cost entirely, and cash purchases typically pay for themselves within about 5–8 years.
When do I start saving money?+
Right away. Contrary to a common misconception, you start saving as soon as your system is switched on and producing power.
