FAQs
How does the solar installation process work in Sunbright?
Our process begins with a free on-site evaluation where we examine your roof condition, orientation, shading and electrical panel. Next, our design team creates a customized system sized to your yearly usage and Sunbright’s solar-irradiance data. We then handle all permitting and utility paperwork, schedule the installation (typically one to two days for a residential array), arrange the municipal inspection, and finally commission the system with the local utility so you can start producing power.
What permits and approvals are required for a solar installation in Sunbright?
Sunbright’s Building & Safety Department requires a building permit, an electrical (PV) permit and, if your roof structure is modified, a structural review. In addition, the local utility must approve an interconnection application for net-metering. If you belong to a homeowners association, we supply the plans you need for HOA architectural approval. We prepare and submit every document on your behalf, so you never have to visit city hall.
How much can I expect to save on my electricity bills?
Savings depend on your system size and energy habits, but a typical 7 kW residential array in Sunbright produces about 10,500 kWh per year. At the current utility rate of $0.15 per kWh, that’s roughly $1,575 in annual bill credits, often offsetting 70-100 % of a household’s usage. With utility rates rising about 4 % annually, most customers recoup their investment in 6-8 years and enjoy 17-19 years of essentially free power afterward.
What warranties and maintenance services do you offer?
We use Tier-1 panels with a 25-year performance warranty (at least 85 % output in year 25) and 12-year product warranties, extendable to 25 years. Inverters carry 10-12-year warranties, also extendable. Our workmanship is covered for 10 years, which includes roof penetrations and electrical labor. All systems come with lifetime online monitoring, and we offer optional annual clean-and-inspect plans for customers who prefer professional maintenance.
Will my solar panels keep the lights on during a blackout?
Standard grid-tied systems must shut down when the grid goes out to protect utility line workers. If you want backup power, we can install a hybrid inverter with lithium-ion battery storage or integrate your array with a generator. These solutions isolate your home from the grid during an outage, allowing critical circuits—or the whole house, depending on battery size—to stay powered.
What financing options and incentives are available for Sunbright residents?
You can purchase your system outright, secure a zero-down solar loan (5-20 year terms), or choose a lease/Power Purchase Agreement where you pay only for the energy produced. Homeowners qualify for the 30 % Federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC). Sunbright also offers a $0.20 per-watt municipal rebate (capped at $1,000), and the local utility provides full retail net-metering for systems up to 25 kW. We walk you through each incentive and even file the paperwork so you receive every available benefit.
