Frequently Asked Questions

---

1. Cost Savings: Installing rooftop solar allows homeowners to generate their own electricity, reducing their reliance on the grid and lowering their energy bills. By generating solar power, homeowners can offset their energy consumption from the utility company, leading to long-term cost savings.
2. Energy Independence: With rooftop solar, homeowners can generate their own electricity and reduce their dependence on traditional energy sources. This provides a sense of energy independence and allows homeowners to take control of their energy production.
3. Renewable Energy Contribution: By adopting rooftop solar, homeowners contribute to the generation of clean, renewable energy. Solar power is a sustainable energy source that does not produce greenhouse gas emissions, reducing carbon footprints and helping combat climate change.
4. Net Metering: Nevada has a net metering policy, which allows homeowners with solar panels to earn credits for the excess electricity they generate and feed back into the grid. These credits can be used to offset electricity consumption during periods when the solar panels are not producing sufficient energy, such as at night or during cloudy days.
5. Increased Property Value: Solar installations can enhance the value of residential properties. Studies have shown that homes equipped with solar panels tend to sell at higher prices compared to those without solar installations. This can be an attractive feature for potential buyers.
6. Federal and State Incentives: Homeowners in Nevada may be eligible for various incentives that can further offset the cost of installing rooftop solar. These incentives can include federal investment tax credits (ITC), state tax credits, rebates, grants, and other incentive programs that aim to promote renewable energy adoption.
7. Environmental Benefits: By utilizing solar power, homeowners can contribute to reducing air pollution and reliance on fossil fuels. Solar energy is a clean and sustainable source of power that helps to protect the environment and combat climate change.

While rooftop solar offers numerous benefits, it may not be suitable for every homeowner due to the following reasons:

1. Upfront Costs: Installing a rooftop solar system involves upfront costs for equipment, installation, and permits. While the savings from reduced energy bills will offset these costs over time, the initial investment can be a deterrent for some.
2. Rental or Temporary Living Situations: If a homeowner is renting their property or plans to move in the near future, rooftop solar may not be a viable option. 
3. Limited Sun Exposure: Homeowners in regions with low levels of sunlight or frequent cloud cover may experience reduced solar energy production. If a homeowner's roof is shaded by trees, nearby buildings, or has an unfavorable orientation (such as facing north in the Northern Hemisphere), it may not receive adequate sunlight to generate enough electricity. In such cases, the amount of electricity generated by rooftop solar panels may not be sufficient to meet the homeowner's energy needs, resulting in a longer payback period and potentially reducing the overall benefits.
4. Regulatory Limitations: Some homeowners may face regulatory or homeowners' association (HOA) restrictions that limit or prohibit the installation of rooftop solar systems. Certain neighborhoods or properties may have architectural guidelines, aesthetic considerations, or zoning regulations that restrict the use of solar panels, making it challenging or impossible for homeowners to install them.

It's essential for homeowners to carefully evaluate their individual circumstances, considering factors such as roof suitability, upfront costs, location, and future plans before deciding whether rooftop solar is a good fit for them. X ENERGY will work with each homeowner to make informed decisions based on their specific situation.

While routine maintenance remains the responsibility of the owner, X ENERGY extends the option of annual maintenance programs, encompassing services such as cleaning, for those who desire comprehensive upkeep for their solar systems.
