Net metering is a billing arrangement that credits solar energy system owners for the electricity they add to the grid. For example, if your solar panels generate more electricity than your home uses during daylight hours, the excess energy is exported to the grid, and you receive credits. These credits can offset the electricity you consume from the grid when your system isn't producing enough power, potentially reducing your monthly electricity bills substantially and ideally offsetting all of your rate charges year-round. Almost every utility in Washington state has to follow this program until 4% of their power supply is offset by customer-owned solar. Once that happens, they are no longer required to offer net metering at the current 1:1 kWh exchange rate and can request to replace the program with less favorable terms for new customers. The great news is, once you have a solar system with net metering, you keep that agreement in place as long as the system is on your home and isn't added to.

Solar panels absorb sunlight using photovoltaic cells, converting it into direct current (DC) electricity. An inverter then converts DC into alternating current (AC), which powers your home. Solar panels are low maintenance, requiring little more than occasional cleaning to remove debris or snow to maintain efficiency. Most systems come with warranties, ensuring they generate power for 25 to 40+ years

Yes, electricians can install standby generators to ensure your home or business remains powered during outages. However, with the advances in battery technology the last few years, we strongly advocate going that route unless muti-day outages are a constant issue, as they provide a cleaner, quieter and maintenance-free backup solution. Batteries are also available with a 30% Federal credit through 2032

Before electrical work begins, clear the work area of any furniture or valuables to provide easy access for the electricians. Ensure pets and children are kept away from the work area for safety. If possible, provide details about your electrical system, such as panel locations and previous issues, to help the electrician assess the job more efficiently. Clear communication about your expectations and any specific needs or issues are essential to a smooth experience
