Is my roof ready for solar?
Age, condition, material, shade and usable space all matter. If repairs or replacement are likely soon, discuss them before choosing the solar design so the work can be coordinated.
Frequently asked questions
More clarity before your next step.
Practical answers to the questions homeowners ask before exploring a solar or roofing project.
What information should I have ready?
Your town or ZIP, the utility name, an approximate electric bill and what you know about your roof are useful. You do not need to send account numbers or upload documents to start.
What happens after I submit an inquiry?
Karim reviews the details and your requested reply method, then follows up about your questions and next steps. A saved inquiry is not a confirmed appointment or project approval.
Will I still receive a utility bill?
Utility charges can remain. Compare the expected utility bill together with any solar payment using the actual project proposal.
Can we discuss roofing as well?
Yes. Describe the roof condition or work you are considering. The scope, price, responsible contractor and warranty need to be confirmed in writing.
What if I sell my home?
Ask how ownership, any remaining loan and any lease or PPA would be handled. Review transfer, buyer approval and buyout terms in the specific agreement.
