FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Answers to Commonly Asked Questions

How much does a solar installation cost?

Costs vary by system size, home design, and location. Our partners will provide you with a personalized quote to help you understand your options. 

We partner with experienced, local solar installation companies who deliver quality and reliable service.

The installation timeline often depends on the system’s size and complexity. Other factors can impact timing like how long it takes to get local government permit approvals and your utility’s permission to operate. Your installer will manage the entire process and should keep you up to date. 

EverBright provides homeowners with the opportunity to go solar with no upfront costs and connects them with trusted local installation professionals. 

Your system was designed with the previous owner’s energy usage profile. Depending on your energy habits, the solar system should help reduce your electric utility bills by generating electricity and reducing your reliance on the grid. However, your system will continue to be tied to the utility grid, and you will still have a utility bill to cover things like interconnection fees, taxes, and energy use for times when your solar system may not be producing energy, like during inclement weather or at night.

Typically, EverBright solar systems come with warranties that cover defects and performance issues. Check your agreement or get in touch with your installer for specific details about warranty coverage.

Most solar systems come with monitoring software or a companion app that allows you to track the system's performance in real time. You should have been given access to this monitoring tool as part of the transfer of ownership. You'll need to set up an online account in the homeowner portal at MyEverBright to access this monitoring data. If your contract was originally signed prior to March 2023, it may not include monitoring in MyEverBright.
