FAQ
-
Q: Does solar really cost $0 upfront?
A: Yes, most homeowners in Arizona can switch to solar without paying anything upfront. We help connect you with plans that offer $0 down, so you only pay a monthly bill that’s typically lower than your current electric bill.
-
Q: How do I know if my home is a good fit for solar?
A: It depends on your electric usage, your utility company, and your roof. We review your electric bill and satellite imagery to assess your solar potential. It’s fast and free — just send us your bill.

Q: What happens if I move or sell my home?
A: Solar agreements are usually transferable to the new homeowner. In many cases, having solar actually increases your home’s value and makes it more attractive to buyers.
-
Q: Do I need to maintain the solar panels myself?
A: No, most systems include maintenance, monitoring, and warranties. The installer handles everything, and you just enjoy the savings.
-
Q: Will I still get an electric bill?
A: You’ll still be connected to the grid, but your bill from the electric company will be much smaller (or sometimes $0), and you’ll pay a fixed solar payment instead, which is usually lower than your original bill.

Q: What kind of savings can I expect?
A: Savings vary depending on your usage and plan, but most homeowners start saving money immediately. Over 20 years, the average Arizona solar user saves tens of thousands of dollars.
