Behind the scenes, our skilled professionals are always working to ensure your solar panels maximize energy production, both now and in the future.
At Solarized USA, our home solar systems are securely mounted on your roof, which requires us to drill holes to anchor the racking equipment during installation. Rest assured, every roof penetration is carefully sealed to ensure watertight protection, backed by our comprehensive workmanship warranty. An added bonus: once your solar panels are installed, they can actually help shield the underlying sections of your roof from the elements, potentially extending its lifespan and protecting it from normal weathering.
kWh stands for kilowatt-hour, and a kilowatt is equivalent to 1,000 watts. A kilowatt-hour is the standard unit of measurement for electricity, representing the amount of energy needed to power a 1-kilowatt appliance for one hour.
The energy consumption of an appliance determines how quickly it will use up 1 kWh. For instance, a 500-watt vacuum cleaner will consume 1 kWh in two hours, while the same amount of energy can power a 100-watt light bulb for 10 hours.
Your utility company tracks how many kWh you purchase from them and how many kWh you send back to the grid. Meanwhile, Solarized USA monitors how many kWh your solar panels produce, ensuring you get the most out of your solar system.
Solar panels are designed to produce electricity year-round, regardless of the weather. However, you’ll notice that their performance can vary from day to day. On a cloudy day, for instance, a solar system typically operates at 10% to 25% of its capacity.
When we design and estimate the production of our systems, we consider the amount of sunlight your specific region receives annually. This ensures that your system is appropriately sized to account for both sunny and cloudy days, maximizing its efficiency and output throughout the year.
Yes, your solar system will power your home throughout the year, though the amount of electricity it generates will vary with the seasons.
Summer offers peak solar production, thanks to longer days and consistent sunshine. In contrast, winter sees the lowest production due to shorter days and more variable weather.
At Solarized USA, we design our systems with all four seasons in mind, ensuring that these seasonal fluctuations are factored into your solar production estimate. This way, your system is optimized to provide reliable energy year-round.
Solar panels require sunlight to generate electricity, so they don’t produce power at night. However, with Solarized USA, you can still enjoy power after dark through net metering or a home battery system.
Net Metering: Maximize Your Solar Production When your solar panels produce more energy than you need during the day, the excess is sent to the grid through net metering. Your utility company then credits your account for this energy. At night, you can use those credits to draw electricity from the grid, ensuring none of your solar power goes to waste. Net metering is available in most areas where Solarized USA operates, with the exception of Hawaii.
Solar Battery Storage: Achieve Energy Independence In regions like Hawaii, where net metering isn’t available for new customers, we offer solar battery storage. A solar battery stores the excess energy your panels generate during the day, allowing you to use it at night. This system ensures you use your own stored energy first before drawing from the grid, giving you greater energy independence.
Whether through a home battery or net metering, Solarized USA ensures your solar installation provides affordable energy around the clock. With our solar panels and a battery system, you’ll have reliable power both day and night.
During a power outage, Solarized USA solar systems automatically shut down to protect utility workers who may be repairing power lines. This means your solar system won’t provide power to your home during the outage but will automatically resume operation once the utility restores power to the grid.
The exception to this is for homes equipped with our Solarized Battery service.
Depending on your location, our solar battery can provide backup electricity during a power outage or give you better control over your power usage.
Solarized Battery is currently available in select states for new Solarized USA customers.
Leasing and buying solar panels each offer unique benefits, and at Solarized USA, we provide both options to suit your needs.
Purchasing Solar: Buying a solar system typically requires an upfront investment, which can be a barrier for some homeowners. However, owning your solar panels means you fully own the energy production and enjoy all the financial benefits, such as state rebates, net metering, and the federal solar tax credit. When you own your system, you’re responsible for any repairs and maintenance outside the warranty scope, but the long-term savings and incentives can make it a worthwhile investment.
Leasing Solar: For those who prefer a more cost-effective way to go solar, Solarized USA offers stress-free solar leasing options, allowing you to switch to solar with as little as $0 down. When you lease or choose a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA), you’ll only be responsible for a locked-in monthly payment. Since Solarized USA owns the system, we’ll take care of all monitoring and maintenance throughout the agreement, providing you with clean, worry-free energy. And if something goes wrong, we’ll fix it at no additional cost to you.
Whether you choose to lease or buy, our solar advisors are here to help you decide which option best fits your lifestyle and financial goals. To learn more, connect with one of our solar experts today at (321)-485-7660
At Solarized USA, we recognized the need for a more affordable way to bring clean energy to everyone, which is why we introduced solar leasing and Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs). These options allow you to go solar with little to no upfront cost, making clean energy accessible to more homeowners.
The Difference Between a Solar Lease and a PPA It’s straightforward: with a solar lease, you pay a fixed monthly “rent” for the use of the system. With a PPA, you pay a fixed price per kilowatt-hour (kWh) for the power your system generates. We’ll help you determine which option suits your needs best.
Why Consider Leasing Instead of Buying?
– Start with as little as $0 down. – Skip the hassle of ownership. We handle everything—installation, maintenance, monitoring, and insurance—for the duration of your agreement.
– Guaranteed performance. We promise your system will produce the electricity we project. If it doesn’t, you’ll receive a refund for the difference. If it overproduces, you keep the excess power.
– Easily sell your home. Our team of service transfer experts ensures a seamless transfer of the agreement to the new homeowner.
– Benefit from rebates, tax incentives, and credits. With our plans, these savings are passed on to you in the form of a low, locked-in bill.
– Flexible financing options. Choose to pay as you go or opt for a prepaid plan that eliminates monthly billing entirely.
If you’re still considering whether a solar lease or PPA is right for you, our top five reasons to lease your solar system will show you why it’s one of the smartest ways to go solar. Let Solarized USA guide you towards the best solar solution for your home.
Absolutely! At Solarized USA, qualifying customers can take control of their long-term electricity costs with our flexible $0 down option.
With our Solarized Monthly plan, you can enjoy the benefits of solar energy at a low, predictable monthly rate, replacing all or part of the power you previously received from the grid. This means more control over your energy bills and a cleaner, more sustainable energy source for your home.
With a solar Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) from Solarized USA, you pay for the energy, not the panels. Your cost is determined by a per kilowatt-hour rate for the electricity your solar panels generate, which is typically lower than what your local utility charges.
For those who prefer a one-time investment, our Solarized Prepaid option allows you to go solar with a single upfront payment that covers 25 years of solar power. With this plan, we’ll take care of all monitoring and maintenance throughout the duration of your agreement, leaving you free to enjoy the clean, renewable energy produced right on your roof.
When you go solar with Solarized USA, the way you pay for your electricity changes slightly.
Whether you choose to purchase your solar system outright or opt for monthly payments, you’ll still receive a utility bill because your power will now come from two sources: your solar system and the grid.
The payment you make to Solarized USA, whether upfront or monthly, covers the cost of your solar system. Your utility bill will then account for any additional power you need that your solar system doesn’t produce. The amount of energy you need to purchase from your utility will depend on the size of your solar system and your energy usage. Due to weather and seasonal changes, your utility bill may fluctuate. That’s why it’s helpful to think of your energy costs on an annual basis rather than month-to-month.
Even with a solar system, you’ll still receive a bill from your utility company because you remain connected to the grid. Even in months when your solar panels generate all the electricity you need, you can expect to pay standard utility connection fees.
Staying connected to the grid is beneficial. It ensures you have power when your solar production is lower than your needs, such as on cloudy days, during the winter, or when you’re using energy-intensive appliances like air conditioning. Additionally, being connected to the grid allows you to take advantage of net metering, ensuring that any excess solar power you generate is credited and never goes to waste.
Utility rate increases are unpredictable, and they’re expected to continue rising. By switching to solar power, you gain control over your energy costs with a predictable, locked-in rate.
As utility rates climb, the benefits of going solar become even more significant, allowing you to save more and protect yourself from future rate hikes.
