1. How much can I save with solar?
Homeowners typically save $1,200 to $2,000 annually on electricity with solar. Actual savings depend on your home size, energy usage, and system size. SMUD's net metering allows you to bank excess production credits, maximizing savings during lower production months.
2. How does solar work with SMUD?
SMUD offers net metering that credits you for excess solar energy sent to the grid at retail rates. We handle all SMUD interconnection paperwork, meter upgrades, and permission to ope
3. Do I need a new roof before installing solar?
Not necessarily. We evaluate your roof condition during assessment. The intense sun can wear roofing, so if replacement is needed within 10 years, we recommend doing it before solar. We offer both services for seamless coordination.
4. How long does installation take?
Solar installation is 6-8 weeks, HVAC and Roofing is typically 1-2 weeks and window installation is 3-4 weeks
