Solar & Roofing

A. 

If a solar system is linked to the grid, then your solar system will shut down in the event of a blackout. To avoid energy loss during a blackout, a solar owner could add a battery backup system for storage. However, since many utility companies do not approve a solar system with battery backup, AMECO does not currently install battery backup systems. Also, battery backups can be quite expensive and can drive your residential panel costs up.

The amount of energy produced from your solar panels depends on the size of the solar unit. In California, the average residential customer purchases 6,500-kilowatt hours (kWh) of electricity per year. We often recommend that you choose one that reduces or “shaves down” your bill. This usually amounts to solar panels that will offset your needs by 50% to 80%. Most residential solar panel companies, including AMECO, offer free site assessments to determine the potential of your property.

Residential solar panel cost can vary depending on the size and type of system, equipment used, and location. Additionally, the cost of labor can also impact residential solar panel pricing in general. At AMECO, we offer competitive pricing and can work with you to find the best solution for your needs and budget.

On average, residential solar installations cost around $25,000 to $35,000. However, with solar rebates and tax incentives, your out-of-pocket costs could be much lower. Factors that affect pricing of our residential solar panels include your current electric consumption, how much you want to reduce your electricity bill, the solar panel brand you choose, the orientation and material of your roof, and more.
