Frequently Asked Questions

With a solar PPA agreement there is no upfront costs but rather a fixed monthly rate or lease or a rate per Kilowatt-hour

A solar lease and a power purchase agreeement (PPA) are two financing options that allow homeowners to install solar panels without the upfront costs associated with purchasing a system outright

The cost for a residential solar panel system typically ranges from $12,000 to $30,000 before incentives

There is a 30% tax credit offered through the IRS until 2032

Yes, owning solar panels can increase your home value. The national renewable energy laboratory (NREL) found that home value increases by $20 for every $1 saved on utility bills.

Helios Power LLC customizes its solar solutions to meet the specific needs of each property owner. This ensures the clients get the most efficient and cost-effective systems or their unique situations

Helios Power LLC provides customized solar solutions tailored to each client’s specific needs, ensuring optimal system performance and customer satisfaction.

A kilowatt-hour (kWh) is a unit of energy measurment that represents the amount od energy consumed or produced by a devise with a power rating of one kilowatt (1,000 watts) operatinf for one hour.

You can ensure your home remains powered by using solar battery storage, net mettering, or staying connected to the electrical grid.

Yes, solar panels can work in the winter, and in some cases, they can even perform better than in hotter months.

Solar panels alone will not provide power during a grid outage unless you have a battery storage system or specialied inverters that allow for limitied power use. Adding a solar battery backup system is the most effective way to ensure ontinuous power during outages, providing energy independence and enhancing the resilience of your home’s power supply. While this adds to the intial cost, the benefits in terms of energy security and potential long-term savings can make it a worthwhile investment.

When you sign up for a lease or Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with Helios Power, LLC, we ensure that all system maintenance is covered and guarantee a specified amount of power generation from your solar system. As a solar homeowner, there are a few proactive steps you can take to maximize the efficiency and output of your solar panels:

Optimize Sun Exposure

Trim Back Trees: Ensure that nearby trees are regularly trimmed to prevent shading on your solar panels. More sunlight directly translates to better performance and higher energy production.
Maintain Panel Cleanliness

Spray Dusty Panels: In most areas, natural rainfall is sufficient to keep your panels clean. However, if you live in a particularly dusty environment, consider hosing off the panels from the ground to remove dust and debris safely.

Manage Snow Accumulation

Watch Out for Falling Snow: It’s common for snow to accumulate on your panels. Avoid the temptation to clean them manually. The snow will naturally slide off over time. To prevent any damage or inconvenience, try not to park vehicles directly below the panels.

Yes, with all of Helios Power LLC products there is continued monitoring and the homeowner is able to see real time the system at work by utilizing an ap on their phone.

Yes, all of our solar equipment comes with comprehensive warranties. By choosing Helios Power, LLC you also receive 24/7 monitoring and maintenance for your solar system. If anything goes wrong, we will repair it at no cost to you.

You will continue to receive a bill from the utility company even with a solar system because you remain connected to the grid. Even in months when your solar system generates all the electricity you need, you can expect to pay standard utility connection fees.Staying connected to the grid is beneficial. It ensures you have power when your solar production is low, such as on cloudy days, during the winter, or when using high-energy appliances like air conditioning. Additionally, it allows you to benefit from net metering, ensuring that any excess solar power you generate is not wasted.

Utility rate increases are unpredictable and are expected to worsen over time. By switching to solar power, you gain control over your energy costs with a predictable, locked-in rate.As utility rates rise, the financial benefits of using solar power become even more significant.

When you request a free quote, our in-house Solar Advisors will collaborate with you to estimate your potential monthly energy savings. This assessment takes into account factors such as your utility provider, electricity usage, and the amount of sunlight your home receives. We will only recommend solar if it is a suitable match for your home energy needs and profile.

Determining the number of solar panels you need depends on several factors, including your home’s energy consumption, the amount of sunlight your location receives, and the efficiency of the solar panels you choose. Our professional installers will provide you with a detailed assessment and recommend the optimal number of panels for your home.

The time it takes to recoup your investment in solar panels, known as the solar payback period, varies based on several factors such as the total cost of the system, available incentives, your energy consumption, and local electricity rates. On average, homeowners can expect to break even on their solar investment in about 7 to 8 years. This means that after this period, the savings on your electricity bills will have covered the initial cost of the solar system.

Installing solar panels offers a range of benefits, from significant cost savings and increased home value to substantial environmental advantages and enhanced energy independence. These benefits make solar power a compelling option for homeowners looking to reduce their energy costs and contribute to a more sustainable future.

While solar panels are most efficient in direct sunlight, they are still capable of generating electricity on cloudy days, albeit at a reduced rate. This capability ensures that solar power remains a viable and beneficial energy source even in less-than-ideal weather conditions.

The energy production of solar panels varies based on their wattage, the amount of sunlight they receive, and environmental factors. On average, a 400-watt solar panel can produce about 1.75 kWh of electricity per day, depending on location and conditions. To maximize energy output, it’s important to consider these factors when planning a solar installation.

Solar panels are a long-term investment, typically lasting 25 to 30 years with minimal maintenance. Their gradual degradation means they will continue to produce electricity, albeit at a slightly reduced rate, for many years. Warranties and regular maintenance play crucial roles in ensuring panels perform efficiently throughout their lifespan.

Going solar now provides significant financial, environmental, and technological benefits. With generous federal and state incentives, rising electricity costs, and advancements in solar technology, there has never been a better time to invest in solar energy. By making the switch, you can enjoy long-term savings, increase your property value, and contribute to a more sustainable future.

While the physical installation of solar panels can be completed in a few days, the entire process from start to finish typically takes between two to six months. This timeline includes initial consultation, design, permitting, installation, and final inspections. Planning ahead and working with Helios Power’s installers can help streamline the process and ensure a smooth transition to solar energy.

When selecting a provider, it’s important to consider industry certifications, licenses, track record, staff expertise, reputation, and references. By choosing Helios Power, LLC, you get the complete package, ensuring a smooth and seamless transition to solar power.
