FAQ’s

I looked into solar years ago and it did not make sense. Is it worth taking a second look?

You should definitely take a second look. There are more options when going solar today. The panels and systems have become more efficient. There have been quite a few changes in recent years. Worst case scenario is we discover your home is not a good candidate. No worries.

I already have a quote. Can you do better?

By no means do I want to take food from somebody else’s table, but if you are having doubts it makes sense to explore other options. I lead with my best offer whether I am up against a competitor or not. And I will be honest in my assessment of their quote, even if that means you go with the other company.

How much does a solar system cost?

Every project is unique. We would be happy to go over the options with you. Currently, a lot of homeowners are choosing to go with a Power Purchase Agreement (essentially a lease). But we also offer the option of owning a system.

I had some financial issues in the past. Could I still be approved?

We have several plans available, including those that do not require a credit check.

Do I need to own the property to install solar?

The short answer is yes. Only NJ homeowners can install a system.

What happens when I sell my property?

Renewable energy systems tend to increase the value of the property, especially if you own the system. Do yourself a favor, Google ‘Zillow solar resale value in NJ’. If you are leasing, the value to a potential home buyer can depend on your locked in rate vs the electric company’s rate. The lease simply transfers to the new homeowner for a small fee.

Will solar panels damage my roof?

Can I go off grid?

The state of NJ requires a connection to the utility even if your panels cover 100% of your energy usage.

Can a business install solar?

Yes. We have a separate team dedicated to helping businesses go solar.

What maintenance is required?

Fortunately, without any moving parts, there tends to be very little maintenance required. In rare instances, something may need to be adjusted due to unforeseen events caused by animals, nature, etc.

What is the name of your company?

Like most Solar Consultants, I am an independent contractor with a team behind me. The company I work with is EMT Solar and Roofing out of Cherry Hill, NJ. I looked at numerous options but chose EMT based on their experience as GAF Master Elite Certified Roofers, their strong reviews, customer satisfaction, honesty and professionalism. I was also impressed by the resources that would be available to me and my customers. But EMT’s real strength is in their people. I am happy to have a company behind me that shares my values. It really is like a family, something that is rare in today’s day and age. I would not want to be anywhere else.
