How many solar panels will my home need?

Every household will need a different number of panels based on how much energy it uses, the climate in the area, and how much direct sunlight hits the roof. We’ll determine how much energy a home solar system will need to produce to power your home during our free consultation.

How long do these panels typically last for?

All of our solar panels are rated for 35+ years of use.

What happens if something goes wrong or a panel breaks?

We provide a 25 year manufacturer warranty on all equipment, 25 year performance guarantee, 25 year workmanship warranty, and a 10 year roof penetration warranty. If your panels do not produce what we say they will, we will make it right as per our agreement.

How do panels work with the weather?

If you’ve ever achieved a sunburn on a cloudy day, you may be familiar with UV rays and their ability to penetrate clouds, rain, and even snow! But of course the energy production is strongest on a clear, sunny day. We keep your climate in mind during system design to achieve the best result.

Is solar free?

No one is going to install $40,000 worth of solar panels on your roof for free. There is a cost to that product. In almost every case, what most people talk about when they say zero cost or zero down is that there is no additional cost to the homeowner. If someone is paying $200 per month for their utility cost and they can get solar panels for a $180 per month, they're actually saving $20 per month. So there is no additional cost. Energy is not free in either scenario, but it's cheaper to use solar than it would be to use the utility in this case. So is it free? No, but it should cost less when it's done the right way.

Why doesn't Prodigy Power use solar roof tiles?

They are a relatively new product. Because of this, most companies don't have access to them and there is likely to be multiple improved versions that come out over time as the technology faces problems and then progresses. What's most important for us is that our customers are satisfied with what we offer which means we will only offer technologies that are proven and provide a reliable experience.

What happens to solar panels in the event of high winds or a derecho?

Places that can experience extreme weather and wind events like Iowa have done a pretty good job of passing rules to ensure solar systems can survive the worst. In places like Cedar Rapids, Des Moines, where derechos have caused massive destruction, the panels must be rated to withstand winds of 130 mph.

What are the environmental benefits of solar energy?

No emissions/pollution free
Reduce your carbon footprint
Provide clean energy for the next generation
Be a part of your communities’ solar future

What happens if I decide to sell my house?

Congratulations and make sure to enjoy the higher sales price, now that you can market your home as a green energy saving home. As you transition from one owner to the next everything would transfer on to the next homeowner, from the monthly payments to the warranties. Making it a seamless process for all parties involved.

What are the financial benefits of solar energy?

Stabilizes energy costs over time
Utilizes free fuel (sunshine)
Adds value to your home
Reduces your annual electric or gas bill
Leverages lucrative financial incentives and tax credits
Adds credits to your utility account for future use

What incentives are out there for homeowners to go solar?

For solar, there is a Federal Tax Credit of 30% of the gross system cost. Some utilities will also provide further incentives and rebates to their customers for feeding solar back into the power grid. Check with your utility provider to see what incentives are available.

I have an HOA. Do I need their permission?

It depends on the state laws where you want to install the solar system. For example, the state of Iowa prohibits HOAs from banning solar installations. We are accustomed to working with HOAs and will work with yours to satisfy their requirements.
