    What is a residential solar power system?
    A residential solar power system consists of photovoltaic panels and other equipment that collect sunlight to produce energy for your home.
    How many solar panels do I need?
    The number of solar panels you’ll need to meet the energy demands of your home depends on your home’s location and roof size. Please set up an in-home consultation with Home Depot’s local solar panel installer to discuss how many solar panels you will need.
    How much energy will my solar panels produce?
    How much energy your solar panels will produce depends on the number and size of your solar panels, the efficiency of their cells, and the amount of sunlight hitting your roof. Please set up an in-home consultation with a solar panel installer to discuss how much energy your solar panels will produce.
    What is the difference between a grid-tied solar power system and an off-grid solar power system?

    A grid-tied solar power system is connected to the electric utility grid, which allows power from the grid to kick in if your solar panels are unable to produce enough energy on their own at any given time.

    An off-grid system is not connected to the utility grid and is completely self-sustaining.

    Are solar power systems easy to maintain?
    Solar panels, by design, have no moving parts, which means there's less for you to maintain. You’ll be notified if your system requires maintenance due to a drop in power production. Professional monitoring of your system combined with occasional cleaning and inspection will help to keep your installed solar panels running for 20 years or more.

    The tech was amazing but the company is awful. They quoted $2600 for the job. I called a smaller local hvac company who did the job for $789. I cant believe home depot would work with a company who would screw over customers with abhorrent and ridiculous prices. I will never use home depot again because we thought the diagnosis fee would be rolled into the j9b but when the quote is over 300% of what the job should be then we feel taken advantage of for a quick diagnosis fee when other companies would have done it cheaper. I really feel slighted by the ARS company and home depot

    Poor communication from payment to install. Had great difficulty with getting contract copy, and financing link. Tried calling customer service for over an hour and no one had answers. When follow up call came in, customer service was rude claiming it wasn?t a problem on their end.

    Felt like it was primarily to upsell for a new ac and not even sure if maintenance happened. Didn?t seem like they had our best interest and just looking for a sale.

    Solar Panel Installation

    Solar power systems are leading the global movement toward clean, renewable energy. If you own your home and think you are paying too much for electricity, then solar power may be the right clean energy option for you. When you go solar, you get more control of your monthly electricity costs. You’ll know what to expect, including the amount of electricity your system will deliver. And, the longer you own your solar power system, the bigger the savings will be.

    Every year, The Home Depot helps thousands of homeowners install solar power systems that will reduce the cost of their monthly electricity bills. Transitioning to solar power requires custom designers and experienced contractors who can work with you on the installation of your solar panels from start to finish.

    You'll be guided through all phases of your solar energy project, including a free consultation, system design, purchase, local permitting, installation, and ongoing monitoring and maintenance. Our expert designers and solar panel installers will save you time and make the addition of solar power easy with a quick install. The team will even take care of all the installation-related paperwork with your local permit office, as well as meet with city and utility inspectors to ensure your solar power system is approved and ready for activation.

    How Solar Panels Work

    Solar power systems help convert sunlight into electricity. This would not be possible without the use of solar panels. Panels collect sunlight using photovoltaic cells and transfer the generated electrical current through wiring to produce electricity. Solar panels also can be wired together to create a system, increasing the amount of solar energy collected and solar power produced. Regardless of the type of solar panel used, the most ideal setup for a solar power system is installing solar panels on a roof — in a region with long peak sunlight hours — with the panels facing south (for homes in the Northern Hemisphere).

    Advantages of Solar Power

    Investing in a solar power system is easier today than ever before. The power system and number of solar panels are customized to your home and its needs. During your free in-home consultation, The Home Depot’s local solar power installer will clearly explain the installation process and how easy it is for you to go solar. By powering your home with clean, renewable solar energy, you’re creating a healthier environment and conserving natural resources. Lowering the cost of your electricity bills, having solar panels installed that require little-to-no maintenance for decades, and investing in renewable power are some of the best advantages of adding a solar power system to your home.

    Clean Energy

    Solar power systems offer every homeowner a clean, renewable energy source that produces no carbon emissions. The result? Cleaner air, water and food for everyone. Having professional designers and experts install solar panels on your home is a great first step to reducing your carbon footprint.
