Welcome to our FAQ page at Best Decision Solar! We understand that when it comes to solar energy, you may have plenty of questions, and we’re here to provide you with all the answers you need. As the ultimate resource for solar enthusiasts and beginners alike, we’ve compiled a comprehensive list of frequently asked questions to shed light on the wonders of solar power.

Once you book an appointment with us and approve the proposal, you can usually expect your panels to get installed within 30-120 days depending on city permitting and weather conditions. After your panels are installed, your utility company can take 30-90 days to connect your system to the grid. Finally, you can start harnessing the power of the sun and save money!

You may have seen the numerous advertisements claiming that solar is FREE! While solar can be free or almost free for the very few who qualify for government grants, it is typically not free. However, once your panels are connected you will start to see savings on your energy bill and after your panels are paid in full, you will have true energy independence.

We offer industry-leading quality and warranties on all our solar energy systems. Not only are our panels built to last, they are also covered by our FREE 30-year comprehensive warranty covering everything including the roof and even labor!

Solar grants, tax incentives, and credits vary based on certain eligibility requirements like income level, location, etc. 
Most of our customers do qualify for the income tax credit which they can either apply to the loan upfront or receive once they file their taxes. Our solar professionals will walk you through your options based on your unique circumstances.

The options available to us are always evolving and changing based on national interest rates and market fluctuations. However, we always have access to the best financing options available in the market and we promise never to overcharge you on financing.

If you choose not to finance with one of our trusted banks, you can opt to obtain your own financing through your bank or credit union or pay in full.

There are a lot of factors to consider when deciding between leasing or financing your solar panels. We created a blog post to answer this question in more detail. Click here to view more.

Your utility bill allows us to give you the most accurate quote considering the following factors:

1. Your Current Average Energy Usage

If your utility bill shows your monthly or yearly usage, this will help us get an even better quote so please try to capture all the pages of your energy bill.
Please note, your energy company usually has limits on how additional energy we can outfit your system to output compared to your current usage. This is why we recommend people hold off on getting solar until after they have experienced 6+ months in their home, most importantly experiencing the warmest and/or coldest months your region experiences.  Our solar company is based in Florida and there are a lot of people migrating here from all over the US.
This means that a large amount of local residents have not been in their homes very long. Unlike many other solar companies, we do not take advantage of these new residents but instead recommend that they wait to buy solar so they can make the best decision for their family based on accurate usage. Nothing is worse than investing thousands into being energy independent only to have a large utility bill on top of it. Let us help you make sure you're set up for true energy independence. 

2. The Direction & Location of Your Home

The direction and location of your home, compared to the sun is crucial for how much energy your panels can actually absorb and output as energy for your home. So many companies just shoot quotes over, without considering the most crucial details like:

  • Pitch and Direction of Your Roof Compared to Location of the Sun
  • Amount of Shade/Placement of Trees
  • Average Optimal Hours of Sun for Your Location
  • Amount of Viable Space & Optimum Use of Space.

We also do a comparative analysis to show you how much money you will save each month on energy by switching to solar!
