Solar panels absorb the sun's energy throughout the day and convert it into direct current (DC) electricity. Most homes and businesses run on alternating current (AC) electricity, so the DC electricity is then passed through an inverter to convert it to usable AC electricity. At that point, you either use the electricity in your house or send it back to the electric grid. 

When you install a solar energy system on your property, you save money on your electric bill and lock in a low fixed-rate and protect yourself against rising electricity costs.

Our systems have product and manufacturer’s warranties for 25 years.  Even after 25 years, they will continue to operate at approximately 90% of their peak performance. 

Solar systems require little to no maintenance as there are no moving parts.  We do recommend the solar panels remain free of debris and be washed/cleaned periodically.

You do need a permit, and ADS will handle that prior to installation.  By state law, HOAs are required to allow solar and ADS will communicate with your HOA to ensure a smooth process. 

The system will typically be installed in 1-2 days.  We can install without interruption of power to your home, and it’s not necessary for you to be home during your installation. 

Solar power, like other renewable energy resources, has many health and environmental benefits. When you go solar, it will reduce greenhouse gas emissions which contribute to climate change and fewer pollutants in the air such as sulfur dioxide which can cause health problems. 

When you install a solar energy system on your property, you save money on your electric bill, increase your homes value, and lock in a low fixed-rate and protect yourself against rising electricity costs. 

Studies have shown that homes with solar energy systems sell for more than homes without them.  In most parts of the country, going solar will actually increase your property value more than a kitchen renovation.  

Net Metering is the system that utilities use to credit solar energy system owners for the electricity produced by their solar panels. With net metering, you only pay for the electricity that you use beyond what your solar panels can generate. 

Unless your solar energy system includes battery storage and you are fully off the grid, you will still receive a bill from your utility. However, you can dramatically reduce your bill, or even cut the amount you owe to $0, with a solar panel system that matches your energy use.

The most significant is the 26% Federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC), which allows you to deduct 26% of the cost of your solar energy system from your taxes if you install the system by December 31st, 2020.   Some utility companies also offer additional also offer cash rebates or other incentives and your ADS representative can let you know about all of these incentives. 

In general, solar panels are very durable and capable of withstanding snow, wind, and hail. The various components of your solar power system will need to be replaced at different times, but your system should continue to generate electricity for 25 to 35 years.
