Commercial Solar Install San Antonio
  • HOW LONG DOES THE INSTALLATION TAKE?
    Depending on the size of your system, most residential installs will be done in 1-2 days.
  • HOW MUCH MAINTENANCE IS REQUIRED?
    There is little to no maintenance associated with your solar panels but StarPower Solar will monitor your system 24/7 to ensure it is running smoothly.
  • WHAT SIZE SYSTEM SHOULD I GET?
    This depends on needs, wants, and available space. First we will see how much available space you have on your roof by doing a site inspection. Once we determine the amount of available space and take a look at your energy usage in the home we can let you know how many panels will fit into that space and tell you how much that will offset your electric bill each month. Our goal is to offset 100% of your utility bill with solar electricity.
  • CAN I ADD SOLAR PANELS AT A LATER DATE?
    Absolutely! All our systems are fully upgradable. You can always add to your system as long as you have enough roof or ground space.
  • HOW DO I GET STARTED?
    Contact StarPower Solar to request a proposal and FREE on-site analysis. Providing us with your electrical usage for Kilowatt hours and the amount of your average electric bill will help us in preparing your proposal.
  • DO THE SOLAR PANELS HAVE TO BE INSTALLED ON MY ROOF?
    No, If you have enough space we can build a ground mount system or installed on a separate structure as long as it sturdy enough. Not sure if a structure or land will be suitable for solar? StarPower will do a free site survey and be able to let you know if the area can be used.
  • CAN I GO OFF THE GRID?
    All of our installations require a system interconnect. Unless there is an electric storage system available, our systems won't power a home during a blackout. We can incorporate a battery backup system if you have the need. However, homes that have been removed from the grid have no access to an available rebate. You would still qualify for a 30% federal tax credit.
  • HOW MUCH CAN I SAVE USING SOLAR?
    StarPower wants to get rid of our customer’s electricity cost. By carefully analyzing our clients home consumption, we can offset their electric bill and allow them to own a clean source of electric power. All for the same amount of money or less than they would otherwise be spending to their utility provider. Our customers save money in the long run by securing the current market rate for electricity and being able to generate their own electricity in the future.
  • WILL ADDING SOLAR TO MY HOME INCREASE MY RESALE VALUE?
    Yes! There is a newly approved tool on the market that appraisers are using to accurately and consistently assess the value of a rooftop solar PV system. We provide this report with every solar proposal we create. ADDED BONUS: Solar is exempt from your property taxes (Texas Tax Code Section 11.27). Your property taxes won't go up because of your new solar system!
  • HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO MAKE THE SWITCH?
    Put your wallet away! There is no up front cost, our financing plans are all $0 – down. If you are paying cash, we take a 20% down payment.
  • WILL MY HOA ALLOW ME TO INSTALL SOLAR?
    Absolutely, the state did it for you! It's called HB362 and was passed in 2011. You will still need HOA approval, but you won't run into problems getting your solar system approved. While there are certain guidelines that must be adhered to, solar is not something your HOA can prevent you from installing. We handle the HOA.
  • WHICH REBATES AND INCENTIVES COME TO ME?
    The answer to this question varies depending on your specific location and individual situation. Most rebates can be assigned to StarPower. The homeowner collects tax incentives. We can send one of our consultants, who would love to assist with answering any questions related to tax incentives and rebates in your area.
  • HOW MUCH DOES A SOLAR SYSTEM COST?
    The cost will vary depending on the size of your solar system. The roof slope and home energy usage is different for every home that's why we build a custom solar proposal for you that will give you the breakdown of what you will save by going solar.
  • SHOULD I WAIT FOR NEWER TECHNOLOGY?
    At StarPower we understand our customers’ need to keep up to date with the highest technology in the market. However, in an effort to always provide our customers with the highest savings, we recommend going solar as early as possible. In this decision, we wage in the factor that electric rates continue to rise. Therefore, the result of waiting means losing money overall, that could have otherwise been saved.
  • WHAT FINANCING OPTIONS DO YOU OFFER?
    Our company works with the top lenders in the country. Our lenders update their financing plans to offer the most competitive interest rates and long-term financing plans in the market. They have 5, 10, 15 and 20 year options. We also offer cash discounts, as well as veteran and first responder discounts.
  • DO I NEED A PERMIT TO INSTALL A SOLAR SYSTEM AT MY HOUSE?
    Yes, but StarPower Solar will file and get all necessary permits for you before installing your system.
  • WHAT IS AN OFFSET?
    An offset is how much energy you will be producing from solar as opposed to your energy company. (Out of 100%)
  • HOW LONG DOES A SOLAR PV SYSTEM LAST?
    Your new solar system will be warrantied for 25 years. So that's what we promise. There are solar installations that have been in operation for over 45 years. Like most things, long term maintenance is key. Since we handle the first 25 years under our warranty, your system should still be cranking out clean, renewable solar energy well past its expected lifespan.
