One of the most common questions we get is simply: what will this cost? The honest answer is that it depends on your specific system — but here's what actually drives the price up or down.

It's a common assumption: if it rains often enough, your solar panels should stay clean on their own. In reality, rain only does part of the job.

Solar systems are often described as low maintenance — and largely, they are. But low maintenance doesn't mean maintenance-free. Over time, environmental build-up such as dust, salt and bird activity can quietly reduce your system's output and, if left unchecked, contribute to faults.
