FAQs

How much does it cost to install solar panels?

The cost of installing solar panels depends on several factors, including home size and roof type. Both affect labor and equipment costs. A solar panel's dollar- or price-per-watt valuation is another important consideration. Per-watt evaluation is based on system cost per unit of energy produced. Solar panels are available in three tiers, each delivering a different level of quality and price-per-watt valuation. Our team can help you make the best choice based on criteria specific to your home and budget.

How efficient are solar panels?

The performance of photovoltaic cells has greatly improved over the years. Today's solar panels feature impressive power output, and that results in highly efficient electricity production. Solar panel efficiency is determined by system design, materials and installation. On average, you can expect an efficiency rating between 18% and 22%.

How much does a battery system cost for whole-house backup for an average 2,000-square foot home?

The cost of whole-house solar battery backup before rebates and incentives are factored in can vary from $25,000 to $50,000. A large system can provide enough stored power to keep an entire house up and running for multiple days, depending on how much energy is consumed each day. Keep in mind there are numerous incentives available to cover the costs of battery backup. Ask our team for details.

Are there rebates and/or incentives for residential battery projects?

Yes. The California Self Generation Incentive Program (SGIP) is an initiative that can help reduce the cost of installing battery backup for your home's solar panels. The amount of the rebate depends on your installation's size, your location, and whether or not you have qualified for a Medical Baseline rate with your utility. The federal solar tax credit is also available. This incentive offers a 26% tax credit on your investment in a backup battery system. The credit is applicable to any battery system powered by a renewable energy source.

Will solar affect property taxes?

Your solar system will qualify for a property tax exemption. The value of your solar is subtracted from the total property value. Sandbar recommends speaking with tax attorney.
