Why should I switch to solar?
The sun rises every day. That’s why solar power is a completely renewable, reliable and clean energy source. It reduces our reliance on dirty sources of power such as oil, coal and natural gas, which produce harmful emissions affecting our health and environment. Controlled pricing and excellent, inclusive home upgrades.
Is solar right for my home?
A lot of things affect how well-suited your home is for solar, including where your home is, the angle of your roof, how much shade it gets throughout the day, and how old your home is.
Our solar advisors can help you determine if your home is a good fit for solar at the moment. They’ll run a free custom analysis of your home with our proprietary solar design technology, and they’ll get a sense for your energy needs.
Why do you need my historical electricity usage?
Your historical electricity usage allows us to design a custom solar system that is the right size for your home.
Electricity usage varies from person to person and from season to season. That’s why we request a full year of your electricity bills so we can build a system that’s right for you.
Our sales consultants are trained to review a year’s worth of usage data so we can get the full picture. Energy usage can change with the seasons so we look at 12-months of data to best understand your home’s usage patterns and needs.
What happens to my roof when solar panels are installed?
Since Lunar Solar Consulting’s home solar systems are roof-mounted, we drill holes in the roof to anchor the panel racking during installation. All our roof penetrations are made watertight and are guaranteed by a workmanship warranty.
One little known benefit, once the solar panels are on your roof, they can protect the underlying sections from normal weathering and increase its longevity.
Is it better to lease or buy solar panels?
Leasing and buying solar panels come with their own unique advantages.
Purchasing solar generally requires upfront investment which can make it cost-prohibitive for many. That’s why Lunar Solar Consulting offers stress-free solar leasing so you can switch to solar for as little as $0 down. When you lease solar panels or pay for power through a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA), you are only responsible for a locked-in monthly payment. Since our solar partners own the system when it is leased, we’ll also provide top-notch monitoring and maintenance during the length of your agreement, free of charge. That means clean, worry-free energy. And if it breaks, they will fix it.
