Is there really $0 down for solar installation?

Yes. Through our financing options, qualified homeowners can have a complete solar system installed with no money down and start lowering their electric bill right away.

What solar tax credits and incentives are available?

Incentives vary by state and utility. Examples include New Mexico’s Solar Market Development Tax Credit, Pennsylvania’s SRECs and the Philadelphia solar rebate, Colorado utility rebates, and net metering across our service areas. We’ll walk you through every state and local incentive you’re eligible for during your free consultation.

How long does a solar installation take?

The on-site installation is typically completed in one to three days. The full process, including the site survey, engineering, permitting, and utility approval (PTO), usually takes a few weeks from start to finish.

Will solar panels eliminate my electric bill?

A properly sized system can offset most or all of your electricity usage. Your final bill depends on your energy consumption and your utility’s net-metering rules, which we’ll review with you so your system is sized correctly.

Do you offer a warranty?

Yes. Our solar systems are backed by manufacturer warranties on equipment plus our own workmanship guarantee, and we provide ongoing maintenance and support after installation.

What areas does Sunforce Solar serve?

We’re a regional solar installation company serving homeowners and businesses across New Mexico, Texas, Colorado, Arkansas, and Pennsylvania. Visit our Locations page to find the area nearest you.

Is there a minimum electric bill to qualify for $0 down?

As a general guide, a monthly average bill of around $50 or more is enough to qualify. Below that, a system usually doesn’t offset enough to make the financing worthwhile, and we’ll tell you so rather than sell you one.

Can I go solar if my roof needs repairs first?

Yes, and this is more common than people expect. Roof repair or replacement can often be rolled into the solar financing, so you don’t pay out of pocket for it up front. It’s far cheaper to sort the roof before the panels go on than to remove and reinstall an array later.

What happens if I sell my house after going solar?

You have two options. You can include the value of the system in your sale price, or transfer the remaining loan to the buyer. Solar generally makes a home more attractive to buyers, and in several of the states we serve the added value is exempt from property tax.

Do solar panels need maintenance?

There’s no routine servicing required — panels have no moving parts. Periodic cleaning and an occasional inverter check keep production where it should be, particularly in dusty conditions. See solar panel maintenance if you’d like us to handle it.

Can I monitor how much my system is producing?

Yes. Every system we install comes with a monitoring app showing live production data, so you can see exactly what your array is generating at any time and spot a problem early.
