How do solar photovoltaic (PV) panels work?

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.

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. 

What maintenance will my solar system require?

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.

Do I need a permit and what about my HOA?

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.

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. 

Will I still receive an electric bill if I have solar panels?

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.

What solar energy rebates and incentives are available?

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. 

How long will my solar power system last?

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.
