Do I need to mount solar on my roof?
No. Although most people mount solar panels on their roofs, solar panels can be placed on the ground with a stand. See our projects page for ground mounted systems.
Are panels fragile?
No. Panels are durable. To give you an example, the solar panels of satellites have been up in space since the 70’s. They are exposed to damaging radiation from the sun but require little maintenance from NASA.
How long does it take to install solar?
Typical systems will take 2-5 days to install. PurePoint Energy’s professional team guarantees your satisfaction and look to make this transition effortless on your part.
Is solar a good fit for me?
In able for solar to be a good fit for you, your roof should typically face the southwest, southeast, or southern direction. West and East side facings can also harness solar, but will not be as effective. It is also imperative that you make sure there’s no shading on your roof.
Do I need a battery system?
No. Battery systems are only required if you wish to have a backup system when there is a power outage.
What is net metering?
Net metering is the ability to back feed electricity to your utility company when you’re not using electricity. You are compensated for your back fed electricity in credits.
How much power does a system produce?
This depends on your electrical usage and how much electricity you wish to offset. PurePoint Energy usually asks for a 12 months electric bill (can be found online) so we can evaluate and determine the size and power production of a system we feel will best fits you.
Why should I go solar?
With environmental and attractive financial incentives, the real question is: Why NOT go solar?
