How It All Works

Residential solar power systems are designed simply and without moving parts to reduce the probability of having mechanical problems. To insure optimum production of solar energy, regular maintenance is recommended. Lumen Solar maintains a dedicated staff that will assist you with the maintenance of your solar electric system. Our repair department is staffed with expert technicians that offer great service, should a problem ever arise.

On average, our systems last longer than most of our competitors.

A residential solar power system will typically last 25 to 35 years. Lumen Solar carefully designs your solar electric system to fit your needs and specifically cater to what your home demands. Everyone's home is different so having the best equipment and most modern technology is the best way to extend your system's life. Our main goal is simple - make sure you enjoy clean and renewable energy for a very long time. 

Net energy metering is the process in which utility company will credit you for excess energy being generated from your solar system.  They take this extra energy and invest it back into the grid. You can also use such credits when your panels don't create enough power to complement your own use. Net energy metering programs make the prospect of investing in solar only that much better because it can save you tons of money on utility bills and in turn help you to recoup your initial investment. 

With the ITC Solar Tax Credit, you can save thousands of dollars on the cost of equipment and installation. Systems must be fully installed and operational before 2032 to be eligible for the full 30% tax credit. After that date, the credit will drop down to 26% in 2033 and then to 22% in 2034 before disappearing entirely by 2035. The solar tax credit covers the cost of labor, solar panels, installation, inverters, developer costs, and even some energy storage systems as well.
