FAQs
Other solar companies talk about leasing solar systems. Do you have a lease? If so, how does that work?
Unlike traditional solar companies, Paramount Solar is able to offer several financing options through your personalized PowerSavings Plan. We have a $0 Down, Flex Plan and Max Save selection that allows our customers very flexible terms. We also provide for a traditional solar system purchase. Your Solar Consultant will explain the benefits of each and fit you into a savings solution that works best for your situation.
How do rebates and tax credits works?
Rebates and credits are used to reduce your payments and maximize your monthly savings. Paramount Solar will handle all of the benefits from any local, state, or federal rebates.
Will you guarantee the production of my solar system?
Paramount Solar takes great pride in designing custom PV solar systems for your home. These systems are designed to maximize sun exposure and generate the most money-saving potential. We are so confident in our design and constant monitoring that we are able to guarantee the performance of your solar system.
How do I know if solar will work on my home?
While solar is universal, there are some locations and homes where it will work better than others. The biggest factors in determining how well solar panels will work on your home are the size of your roof, the amount of sunlight on your roof throughout the day, and the direction your roof faces. In an effort to make going solar simple, Paramount Solar can provide a quick solar consultation over the phone, and can assess these factors for you using state of the art satellite imaging.
Do I need a back-up generator or battery?
With solar panels, there is no need for a generator or battery because your solar energy system will be connected to your local utility grid, you can draw power from your grid whenever you need it. You can also get power from your utility provider at night or during cloudy weather.
Do I really sell electricity back to my utility company?
The short answer is yes. If your solar system creates additional power that you do not use, your meter actually spins backwards and you receive a credit from your utility company.
How long would it take to install a solar system on my home?
While every home and roof is different, most residential installations take between 3 to 5 days. A more accurate installation time will be determined after reviewing your home and property.
What types of permits do I need?
We strive to make going solar as simple as possible. Our partners’ installers will obtain all building permits and will design your system to meet your local building codes, as well as arrange for the electrical and building utility inspections. They will also be on site to make sure that everything is up to code.
