FAQ’s
Top benefits of installing solar?
- Cost-effective: Solar is one of the most cost-effective forms of electricity generation today. It’s cheaper than fossil fuels in most parts of the country — even without subsidies from the government.
- Home value increase: Installing solar panels can increase the value of your home by up to $15,000 (or more for larger systems).
- Sustainability: The sun provides an inexhaustible supply of free energy that doesn’t contribute to climate change or pollution — making it an ideal resource for reducing our carbon footprint and helping preserve our environment for future generations.
- Low maintenance: Solar panels will last between 20 and 30 years, with little to no maintenance required during that period. After they’re installed, they require very little upkeep — just keep them clean with regular rainwater runoff!
Benefits of Batteries
- Energy Storage for Nighttime Use: Batteries store excess solar energy generated during the day, allowing homeowners to use it at night and maximize solar system efficiency.
- Backup Power During Outages: Batteries provide a reliable power source during grid outages, ensuring essential appliances and systems remain operational.
- Maximizing Self-Consumption: Stored energy can be used instead of exporting it to the grid, increasing energy independence and reducing utility bills.
- Energy Cost Savings: By using stored energy during peak demand times when grid electricity is more expensive, homeowners can significantly lower energy costs.
- Environmental Benefits: Batteries support renewable energy use, reduce reliance on fossil fuels, and contribute to lowering greenhouse gas emissions, promoting a cleaner environment.
Will solar panels damage your roof?
- Improper Installation Risks: Poorly installed solar panels can cause damage to roofing materials, leading to leaks or structural issues.
- Increased Roof Load: Solar panels add weight to the roof, which, if not accounted for, can strain the roof’s structure over time.
- Roof Penetration: Mounting systems often require drilling into the roof, which, if done incorrectly, can compromise its integrity and waterproofing.
- Compatibility Issues: Not all roofs are suitable for solar panels, and improper matching can lead to wear or damage over time.
- Maintenance Challenges: Debris or dirt buildup around the panels can trap moisture and cause deterioration of roofing materials if not properly maintained.
How Many Solar panels will I need?
- Evaluate Energy Usage: Start by reviewing your electricity bills to calculate your average monthly energy consumption in kilowatt-hours (kWh). Divide this by 30 to estimate your daily energy needs.
- Understand Local Sunlight: Research the average daily sunlight hours in your area. Locations with more sunlight require fewer panels, while areas with less sunlight may need more. Use solar resource maps or consult local providers for accurate data.
- Know Panel Wattage: Each solar panel has a specific wattage rating, usually between 300W and 400W. Multiply the panel wattage by the average sunlight hours to determine how much energy one panel can generate daily.
- Account for Efficiency Loss: Adjust your calculations for efficiency losses, typically around 20%, due to shading, weather, or system inefficiencies. This ensures a more realistic estimate of your panel requirements.
- Calculate Panel Quantity: Divide your daily energy needs by the adjusted daily output of a single panel. For example, if your daily usage is 30 kWh and one panel generates 1.2 kWh, you’ll need 25 panels to meet your needs.
- By following these steps, you can accurately determine how many solar panels are required for your system, ensuring it meets your energy demands efficiently.

What Our Clients say
“I talked to several different companies before choosing to work with Sunlight Electrical. What I liked about them was their transparency through the process and flexibility in working with my family to ensure our system was scoped correctly and turned on before the beginning of 2025. It took them two days to get the actual installation done. Overall, I am happy with their work and excited about the savings I will start seeing on my electrical bill.”
Kariithi
“It was a true pleasure working with the team at Sunlight Electrical. Their work is high quality and they deliver according to the schedule. They are also excellent at communicating and answering questions. I would recommend them to anyone looking at a new or existing solar project.”
Patrick McComb
“An absolute joy to work with Juan and team @Sunlight Electrical Solutions. Very professional. Custom design for our house. Installation took less than 2 days. One day for 17 panels, 2 story unfriendly roof line, second day battery, Ggate, sub-panel etc. generating power late afternoon, third day passed inspection. Took about a week and a half to get SNEM Paired Storage System PG&E approval (we can now upload extra power back to the grid and get (small…) credit). Still waiting for permanent storage battery rebate to clear but cautiously optimistic. We absolutely recommend this company. I’d give them 10 stars if I could.”
Randy Bishop
“Really, a different level company. We had a one year project with many ins and outs. Juan (co-owner) is one of the most responsive and transparent contractors I’ve ever worked with. Beautiful craftsmanship in their work – advice, electrical, panels, solar install roof work – with bonded, licensed workers. I’d use Sunlight again for any service they offer.”
