Frequently Asked Questions About Solar Energy

What are the upfront costs to go Solar?

ZERO

What if my system stops producing like it should?

Your Solar system is warrantied for 25 years INCLUDING production minimum targets. Battery warranties vary from 10-15 years.If you have questions regarding your warranties, give us a call.

What happens to my roof after Solar is installed?

Nothing should happen because of the professional in-house installation crews training and processes, but we will fix your roof if there is any damage caused by the installers. If there are any leaks that may occur, let us know, we got you covered for 25 years on all roof penetrations.

What is a UCC-1 Financing Statement and is it a lien on my home?

If financed or leased/PPA, the finance or leasing company will secure your solar project through a lien on the solar equipment itself by filing a UCC-1, or Uniform Commercial Code Financing Statement, and county fixture filing. The filings are not a lien against your home, so they do not hold any formal position in your home (first, second, or otherwise). You will, however, find a UCC-1 fixture filing on the title of your property. The finance or leasing company file UCC-1 and county fixture filings to protect their rights as the financier of the system. If for whatever reason your mortgage on the real property forecloses on your home, the UCC-1 filing protects their security interest in the system, while preventing your mortgage lender from taking ownership of it.

What happens to the UCC-1 during a refinance?

You'll contact the solar finance or leasing company to ask them to lift the UCC-1 and county fixture filing on the Solar Equipment for a limited period provided they will be able to refile upon closing of the mortgage refinancing.

What Happens if I Move?

Congratulations on the move! You have two options:
1) Pay off the remaining balance.
In the vast majority of cases homeowners choose to pay off any remaining balance through the sale of their home. This could help increase the value of the home easier.

2) Transfer the payments
New homeowner could assume the remaining payments, he/she must apply to qualify. If the new homeowner is approved, then he/she assumes full responsibility of the loan. In very rare circumstances, if he/she is not approved, new buyer may have the option to pay transfer fee.

How Long Do Solar Panels Last?

Solar panels have a lifespan of approximately 30+ years. And typically, they come with warranties to match. Power output warranties guarantee that panel performance won't fall below a specified level over the term of the warranty (usually 25 years). For example, a manufacturer might provide a warranty to guarantee that peak power output won't fall below 85 percent for 25 years.

Does Solar they require a lot of maintenance?

Typically solar panels are incredibly durable and require little to no maintenance due to not depend on engine or moving parts. If you own the system, a fee could be charged to service. If you signed up for a Third-Party Ownership Agreement, the Company would cover the service under the Agreement.

What if something goes wrong?

If you own or leased/PPA your solar panel system, the warranty will be included in the agreement. In the event that something does go wrong, call us and will support consulting your warranty. Solar system components have 25 year warranties that include replacement of parts and labor.

How does the Federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC) work?

The ITC in 2024 is a 30% federal tax credit for solar systems on residential properties. As the owner of the solar energy system, you may be eligible to apply the credit as a dollar-for-dollar reduction in the federal income taxes that you owe in the year that your solar system was installed. If the ITC granted for your solar system is greater than your tax liabilities in the year that you purchased your solar energy system, you may be able to apply the remaining ITC up to 5 years. To determine your eligibility for any federal solar investment tax credit, you should make an independent assessment or consult with your tax advisor. Some states and/or utilities offer additional credits and rebates above the ITC Tax credit.

How do I qualify?

If you are a wage earner and owe taxes to the federal government, then you may benefit from this Tax Credit.

How much do I qualify for?

You may qualify to receive up to 30% of the value of the system. If you don't have that in tax liability, you can roll it over for up to 5 years of taxation to receive the full amount.

Are there any hidden charges to sign of to VPA?

NO! SOLRITE warranties, maintains and insures the system for the duration of the agreement.

How does a VPA work?

The VPA is a Third-Party Ownership Agreement to only pay for the energy the panels produce, without purchasing the Solar Equiptment.

Does a VPA include back-up energy?

YES! VPA includes back-up batteries on every home for no extra cost to help during power outages. Battery storage size will vary depending on home consumption.

Is there a chance I might have to pay for repairing my solar panels?

Only if you smash them :) Every thing else is covered by SOLRITE.

Is it harder to sell a house that has solar panels?

On the contrary, solar panels increase overall home value by 4%. Solar homes spend 13.3% less time on the market and are 24.7% more likely to get an offer above the asking price.

We are very greatful to have Manuel as our sales advisor. He is bilingual and very transparent while conducting his business. When I started this process I was deployed to the border and he quickly started everything through video conference. He took the time to answer all of my questions and the process was super fast. It took less than 3 weeks from start to finish. My panels are already installed. The price was very good although my house required a 31 panel system. I recommend Manuel 100%.
