Mike was great to work with and answered all of our questions. He was also responsive to calls and texts and I appreciated that quite a bit. And he was also the best price of the bids that I received. In the end, we got the solar panels that fit our needs and it worked with our budget. I highly recommend Mike for your solar needs.

– Thank you so much Jason! Really enjoyed working with you!

Matthew Durovich

Installers were the BOMB, even worked to get 6 more panels on south facing roof, which has helped. 32 panels, 12 kWh system, was extremely impressed with quality of parts, and install. All hooked up, and I am officially a solar nerd. The app is awesome to track, and I love checking my net meter multiple times a day.

– Thank you so much Matt. You’re guys’ house turned out great!

Kristy Warren

Mike is so awesome! Not only did he come to our house when it was convenient for us, he got us approved for solar in minutes $40 a month cheaper than every other company we had looked in to. As well as $20,000 cheaper for the whole thing. He is so friendly and personable. The only thing you will regret about getting solar is if you don’t go with Solar Mike!

something?

We were looking into getting solar for our new house and looked into multiple companies. When we posted online asking around, Mike's name came up multiple times. Once we found Mike things went so smooth! We ended up getting more panels for less money!! Amazing deal and a great guy to work with!! I would highly recommend him.

– Love it! Too fun. Thank you for that review. Saving you money is the easy part, getting you the “GOOD LIFE” so you can run that A/C at 68 degrees for way less than your power bill, that’s what it’s all about. 🤘🤘

Mike is freaking awesome to work with. He has taken care of every question I've had and saved me thousands in costs of solar and my savings on my power bill. If you want a great deal Mike is your guy hands down!!!

– Thanks Daniel! Your system turned out awesome. Once your neighbors discovered I'm an equipment distributor and wholesaler, 70% of all your neighbors got solar. There are a few folks over their that got DIY kits from me also. I guess you guys like saving money and the planet. :)

Ask Mike...

How long will my system last?

With a 25-year warranty, your solar system is designed for longevity and reliability. This extensive warranty ensures that your system will provide consistent, high-quality performance for at least a quarter of a century. Throughout this period, you can count on reliable energy production and peace of mind, knowing that any potential issues are covered.

How much can I save with solar?

Switching to solar energy can lead to substantial savings on your energy bills. By generating your own electricity, you'll significantly reduce or even eliminate your monthly utility costs. Over time, these savings can add up to thousands of dollars, making solar a wise financial investment. Additionally, many regions offer incentives and tax credits for solar installations, further increasing your savings.

Are there incentives or rebates for solar?

Yes, there are numerous incentives and rebates available for those who choose to install solar energy systems. Many federal, state, and local programs offer financial incentives to reduce the initial cost of solar installations. For instance, the federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC) allows you to deduct a significant percentage of the installation cost from your federal taxes.

Do I need a battery?

Whether you need a battery for your solar system depends on your energy goals and needs. Batteries can store excess energy generated by your solar panels, providing power during the night or during grid outages. If you live in an area with frequent power outages or want to maximize your energy independence, a battery could be a valuable addition.

How long does installation take?

The duration of a solar installation can vary depending on various factors, including the size of the system, complexity of the installation, and local permitting processes. Typically, a residential solar installation takes anywhere from one to two days to complete once all necessary permits are obtained. Local city and utility permits can take a few weeks. Our efficient processes and skilled technicians ensure that installations are completed as quickly as possible without sacrificing quality. From initial consultation to final commissioning, we work diligently to minimize downtime and get your solar system up and running in a timely manner.

How do I know how many panels I need?

The number of solar panels you need depends on several factors, including your energy consumption, available roof space, and the efficiency of the panels. A typical household in the United States may require anywhere from 20 to 30 solar panels to meet its energy needs. To determine the exact number for your home, we will conduct a thorough assessment, taking into account your energy usage patterns and the specific characteristics of your property. By analyzing your electricity bills and evaluating your roof's orientation and shading, we can recommend the optimal number of panels to maximize energy production and savings.
