Solar FAQs

Everything You Need to Know About Solar Energy!

How do solar panels work?

When sunlight (photons) hits the silicon in the photovoltaic cells, it knocks electrons free from the atoms, creating a flow of electricity. The panels comprise anywhere from 32 to 96 cells that are all linked together in one panel. Then each panel is linked together and that electricity is fed to the homeowner’s electrical meter. rate electricity, solar power is completely renewable and green.

How long does a solar system last?

Modern solar panels last approximately 25-30 years. This assumes your system is high quality and was installed correctly. Fusion Solar stands behind every installation with a warranty of up to 25 years.

How do I claim the Solar Tax Credit?

You must fill out IRS Form 5695 to claim your federal tax credit. The two-page form is submitted when you file your personal taxes on tax day. Arizona uses Form 310 to file the credit. Call Fusion Power today to find out how to get started on your solar installation and claim the Solar Tax Credit.

How much maintenance does a solar system need?

The simple answer is, not much. Most panels are installed at an angle, so debris doesn’t typically gather on them. If you have trees that drop a lot of leaves, you will occasionally want to make sure the panels are not covered. And we almost never have to worry about snow accumulating on the panels throughout our Arizona base.

Is my roof good for solar?

The best roof for solar is one that faces south and has a large, shade-free surface area. However, we are able to fit efficient solar systems on a variety of roof types and roof locations. Our experts will come to your home to give you a no-cost assessment of your roof, how much electricity you can generate and more. Give us a call today at 480-676-1433 or email contact@fusionpowerco.com

How much money will I save?

Some of Fusion Power’s customers have been able to cut their summer electric bill in half or more, which can be a massive savings when bills are several hundred dollars every month. If you produce more electricity than you use, it goes into the power grid and the power company credits you.

Additionally, if you purchase your panels (rather than lease), you are eligible for tax credits. The federal tax credit is currently 30%, while the Arizona solar tax credit is 25% with a cap of $1,000. There is also a property tax exemption if the solar panels increase the value of your home as well as an exemption on the sales tax up to 5.6%.

What is the warranty on a Fusion Power solar system?

We provide the best equipment on the market. Our panels come with 20-25-year warranties, while our inverters have 12-25 years of warranties. Along with peace of mind, you can also monitor your solar system’s production to see how much it produces each day.

Should I buy or lease my solar system?

Leasing can be a great way to go solar at a more affordable rate, but you can only claim the solar tax credit if you buy your solar panels. Luckily, we offer Zero Down Financing that allows you to claim any available tax credits.

There are a lot of solar companies in Arizona, what makes Fusion Power different?

We manage and install your entire solar panel project in-house. That means no third parties or confusion, just quality service from start to finish. We are proudly NABCEP Certified PV Installation Professionals, which means we have the skills and experience to meet critical safety standards while ensuring the best installation process.

How does solar power benefit the environment?

By investing in solar power, you save money while benefiting the environment. Because it is from a renewable energy source, solar power doesn’t contribute to greenhouse gas emissions and climate change. Additionally, it can reduce health problems by producing fewer particulates and air pollutants.

How do I see what I pay for electricity right now?

To figure out how much money solar power will save you, you should start by looking at your current utility electricity bill. Your bill will show you how much electricity you currently use each month and how much you are paying for it.

How do I choose the size of my system?

The size of your solar array is determined by the power you need and the size of your roof’s footprint. Generally, each solar panel will produce between 330 W – 400 W. If you have 10 panels, you’ll typically make between 5-8kW.

A typical array has 5 kW (each kW is worth 1,000 W). If your roof has a smaller footprint or more shade issues, your installer might recommend a higher-efficiency panel to maximize the limited space.

Your production capacity is reported in kilowatt-hours (kWh). You’ll see this figure on your current electricity bill. Because Arizona, Texas, and similar areas have a lot of sunshine, they are great spots for producing electricity.

How long does it take to install a solar array?

The installation timeline depends on the size of your system and how your roof is set up. In general, we can handle the entire installation in just six hours. Finding financing and assessing the site can take a little longer.

Will solar panels increase my property taxes?

While solar panels can boost your home’s value, they generally won’t increase your property taxes. In Texas, Arizona, and many other states, solar panels are eligible for a property tax exemption.

Do solar panels make electricity when the sun isn’t shining?

Solar panels will make more power on sunny days, but you can still generate energy on a cloudy day. The installer will always analyze your roof and your home’s position to determine the best location for maximizing sunshine.

Should I replace my roof before I install solar panels?

It depends on when you need to replace your roof. If you need a new roof within the next few years, you should probably replace your roof before installing solar panels.

A typical solar array will last for 25 to 35 years. Removing and installing your system can be expensive after you replace your roof, so you should finish any roof maintenance or replacements before you install your solar panels. When your home is inspected by our installers, they will tell you if your roof needs any repairs before you get solar panels.

Fusion Power can replace your roof, if necessary, and will provide a 25-year roof penetration warranty. Additionally, if your roof needs to be replaced later, Fusion Power will remove and reinstall your solar system at no charge.

I want to do a shout out to Katie at Fusion Power regarding her customer service. Our inverters had a bug and went out and it was disappointing of course but things do happen. Her communication with me through the entire process has been top-notch. I knew every step of the way what was happening. It was nice to see in this climate that we live in someone in the customer service industry going above and beyond what you typically see today. Thank you Katie! Pamela
