The simple answer is: sunlight is absorbed through the panels to produce energy. An inverter in the system then converts that energy into useful electricity. That electricity is sent to the AC breaker panel, with any remaining energy “net-metered” to the grid.

 Contact PPM Solar! We will schedule an assessment on your property to determine which solar system will work best. Designing your system is next! On to financing and permitting. 

Once all of these things are completed, the installation will be scheduled. Prior to the installation, you should re-check the site selected for the panels. If you chose ground-mounted panels, double check that there is nothing blocking the sunlight and there is no debris in the area. If you opted for roof mounted panels, the roof must be prepped. Check the shingles or tiles to make sure they are attached securely. Remove anything that might be attached to the roof that may be in the way of installation, such as a satellite dish. Also check for trees that could cast shadows or overhanging limbs. They may need to be pruned prior to installation to ensure maximum energy output. 

On the day of solar panel installation, there will be various types of noise. If you have small children who nap during the day or if you work from home, you may want to make different arrangements. 

Once the installation is completed, there will be a final inspection and then activation of the system. Now, you are ready to reap all of the benefits going solar brings!

Yes! Solar financing can be obtained several ways. There are conditions and requirements for each option. You can finance through PPM Solar. Secured and unsecured loans, as well as second mortgages are other ways to find financing.  Some Florida utility companies offer financing. There are also programs available like the PACE program and Government Loans through the Federal Housing Administration.

On average, the designed lifespan of your residential solar system is around 30 years. However, that’s not to say your system won’t work well beyond the recommended service life. In fact, there are some solar home energy systems installed over 40 years ago that are still producing power today. 

Annually, you can expect to save around $1500 for a 6kW system.

Yes! There is currently a 30% Investment Tax Credit (ITC). While there are no state rebates, several counties in Florida do offer rebates.

In most cases, yes! Studies have shown different calculations for how a home can increase in value. 

• Zillow- on average homes with solar have sold for over 4% more, than those without (depending on location, some could be more, some could be less)
• Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory indicates a resale value of just under $6k for each kilowatt of installed solar power-so the more kilowatts, the more of an increase

Appraisal Journal states that for every $1 saved in energy costs, the home value increases by $20

• Have your roof examined to ensure it will hold the load capacity of the panels and racks
• Make any repairs needed to the roof
• Remove any debris, satellite dishes, etc.
• Trim any trees that may overhang or shade the roof
• Check for proper insulation, repair any windows or doors that may have leaks as this will decrease the optimum energy output provided by the system
• Check to make sure your appliances are energy efficient
