How much will my system cost?
We tailor each Suntricity Power Solar Station to each person’s needs based on household budget, energy consumption, available space (on roof or for ground mount), and available government funding. We work hard to get you the best system for your investment. Residential systems can range from a few thousand dollars to the tens of thousands. Our staff is expertly trained in getting you the best rebates and tax credits to cover up to 60% of the cost of your system (link to section on tax credits). In most cases, the payback period is 4-6 years. After that time, you can profit thousands of dollars a year! To get a personalized estimate, sign up for a free site study today.

How long will my Solar Panels last?
Suntricity only uses high-quality panels and expert installers for each power station. We guarantee our workmanship for 10 years, so if there is a problem, we will fix it. Each micro-inverter is guaranteed to continue working for 15 years. The solar panels themselves have a 25-year warranty. The bottom line is, your Suntricity Power Station will be producing renewable energy into the next generation.
Can I go “off the grid” with solar energy?
Most Suntricity Solar Power Stations are designed to work with your current energy company to offset 60-80% of your utility bill. You produce energy during the sunny day and you go back to the grid at night. We can make a custom system for off the grid solar production by including a battery system that charges during the day. Off the grid systems also require many more panels than a typical system. These additional panels and battery require a larger solar investment, and are traditionally only used on homes where electricity is scarce (rural areas, mountain homes).

What happens when I sign up? How long does it take to go solar?
When you sign up for a Free Site Study, you meet with a personal project coordinator who will explain how solar can work for you. From there, our engineers will design a system with your electricity needs and budget in mind. After you sign your first contract, we submit your paperwork for permits and government rebates. Grant approval can take 2-4 months, depending on your municipality. The panels are then installed on your house by our certified install team and we establish internet monitoring for your system. Finally, your utility company installs a new backwards counting meter to register your power production. You are creating your own energy in about just a few short months!
Can I get Solar Power for my boat or RV?
Yes, we offer solar systems for boats and for RV’s. Contact Suntricity today to learn more and get your free estimate.
Is it difficult to maintain my solar panels?
It is not difficult to maintain a solar power system since there are virtually no moving parts. The only care that is needed is occasional cleaning and inspection for any leaves or debris on the panels. Our online monitoring system alerts you to any trouble spots where you may need further inspection. We guarantee our workmanship for 10 years and our panels for 25, so if a panel breaks, we will fix it.
Can I use solar on my beach house? Will salt water erode the panels?
Solar energy is great for summer homes, because they require little maintenance. For areas near the ocean we use Solon brand panels, which can be exposed to salt water.
Should I wait for new solar technology?
No, now is the best time to go solar. Government tax credits and rebates decrease over time and will not be around forever. We use the most efficient panels available along with micro-inverter technology so that you are getting the most power production for your home or business. Now is the time to go solar and save!
