frequently asked questionsWhat is better, leasing or buying?
Both leasing as well as purchasing your solar provide an aggressive financial return. For homeowners desiring minimum risk and maximum protection the lease or PPA (power purchase agreement) is the way to go. A lease or PPA provides system insurance, a money-back production guarantee and active system monitoring. Purchasing your system is for homeowners who looking to maximize their long term savings. What about bateries?
We sell the Sunpower Sunvault, Tesla Powerwall and LG Chem. These are the three top home battery systems. A home battery solution ensures that during brown outs and black out, you still have power so essential needs such as home security systems, refrigeration, lights and routers. An additional benefit of a home battery system is load shifting. "Load shifting" refers to storing your excess power during the day when the utility rates are at a lower price and using that stored energy later in the day or night when you're not producing as much and utility rates are a higher price. This process allows you to save even more money while producing the same amount of power. What about warranties?
Warranties vary from company to company and there are a few different kinds of warranties. All major panel manufacturers provide a 25 year power guarantee. Labor warranties vary from one installer to the next, but all of our systems come with a 25 year labor warranty. Inverters warranties range from 10-25 years, but all IndieSolar customers get a 25 year warranty. Will my solar panels still power my house when the grid goes down?
The only way to have power during a utility power outage is to have both solar and a battery system. Do the solar panels produce all of my electricity?

No matter how much power you produce, there will always be at least a minimum charge to stay connected to the grid. That minimum charge is usually $10-$15/month. What kind of maintenance is involved?
Very little maintenance (if any at all) is needed for your solar energy system.
