What Home Rooftop Solar Installation Involves in Simple Terms
How a Rooftop Solar System Works for Every Home
At a basic level, a rooftop solar system takes in sunlight through photovoltaic panels and turns it into electricity your home can use. The panels are mounted onto your current roof and wired into your home’s electrical panel, without any major renovation work.
Excess electricity generated by your system doesn’t sit unused. In Durham, net metering sends that extra power back to the grid in exchange for bill credits, which offsets low production periods like overnight or cloudy days.
The system operates on autopilot once it’s installed and activated. For most homeowners, it means lower bills starting in the first month, with minimal maintenance and a setup built to last 25 years or more.

What Your Panels Mean for the Planet
What Your Solar Investment Means for a Cleaner Durham
Durham has laid out ambitious clean energy goals, and every rooftop system supports that mission. A single home system offsets roughly 8.5 tons of CO2 yearly, equal to permanently taking a car off the road for good.
Over the full lifetime of your system, that impact compounds into something meaningfully significant for the state’s air quality and carbon targets. That’s real, measurable progress toward the state’s environmental goals.
Going solar in Durham means your home no longer pulls from a fossil-fuel-heavy grid and starts generating its own clean electricity. For a state working to decarbonize, that shift begins right on your roof.

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the Most Common Questions About Our Solar Installation
We know going solar is a big decision. Here are honest, straightforward answers to the questions homeowners ask us most before getting started.
How much roof space do I need for solar panels?
The average residential solar system requires between 300 and 500 square feet of usable roof space. The exact amount depends on your energy usage and the system size we recommend. We assess your roof layout during the home assessment and design the system around the space available.
Can I install solar panels if I have a shaded roof?
Partial shading can affect system output but does not always rule out solar. Modern inverter technology minimises the impact of shading on overall performance. We evaluate your roof’s sun exposure during the assessment and will give you an honest picture of what your system can realistically produce.
What happens to my solar system if I sell my home?
Your solar system stays with the property and transfers to the new owner. Homes with solar consistently sell faster and at a higher price than comparable properties without. We provide all documentation needed for a smooth transfer during the sale process.
Do solar panels require a lot of maintenance?
Solar panels have no moving parts and require very little maintenance. An occasional rinse to remove dust, pollen, or snow is usually all that is needed. We monitor every system we install and will flag any performance issues before they become a problem.
Can I add battery storage to my system later?
Yes. Battery storage can be added to an existing solar system at any point. We design our installations with future upgrades in mind so adding storage later is straightforward and does not require significant additional work.
