Residential Solar Installation FAQs

Our goal is to empower you to make smart, informed choices about energy—helping you reduce costs, strengthen resilience, and optimize savings with solar.

Yes. Most Redding homeowners see noticeable reductions in their electricity bills after installing residential solar. A properly sized rooftop solar system can offset a significant portion of your energy usage—especially during peak daylight hours—leading to monthly savings of 15–25% or more. Over the life of your system, that adds up to thousands in savings, all while generating clean energy and reducing reliance on the utility grid.

We install a wide range of residential solar systems designed to suit different roof types and homeowner preferences. This includes traditional photovoltaic panels, low-profile architectural-grade tiles, and Tesla Solar Roof. All panel installation is performed by licensed professionals through Harbert Roofing, ensuring your system is installed to code, optimized for energy production, and built to last 25 years or more.

Most rooftop solar panels are rated to last 25–30 years, and many continue producing electricity well beyond that with only a minor drop in efficiency over time. At Evergreen Solar, we only install systems with strong manufacturer warranties—typically covering both performance and materials for at least 25 years. Regular maintenance can help extend the life of your system and ensure it continues to generate renewable energy efficiently for decades.

Most homes in Redding are good candidates for solar, but we always conduct a thorough evaluation. During your consultation, we assess the roof’s age, pitch, material, and orientation to determine solar compatibility. We’ll also check for shading from nearby trees or structures. If upgrades or repairs are needed, we’ll coordinate with Harbert Roofing to ensure your roof is ready for a safe and effective panel installation.

Yes—our systems are designed to be battery-ready. If you’re not ready to install battery storage now, we can prepare your solar system for easy integration later. Many of our customers choose to add a Tesla Powerwall down the road to enhance their system with backup power and time-of-use optimization. This flexibility allows you to grow your energy system as your needs change, without major rewiring or additional permits.

The federal solar tax credit (currently 30%) allows you to deduct a percentage of your total system cost—including panel installation and battery storage—from your federal taxes. For example, if your solar system costs $12,000, you could claim a $3,600 credit. This incentive significantly lowers the average cost of going solar and improves the overall return on investment. Evergreen Solar provides guidance throughout the process so you can claim this benefit with confidence.

Residential solar panels are low-maintenance, but occasional upkeep is recommended to keep them operating efficiently. Cleaning the panels a few times a year helps remove dirt, pollen, and debris that can block sunlight and reduce energy production. We also suggest an annual inspection to check for minor issues like loose wiring, worn components, or shading changes. Evergreen Solar offers solar maintenance services to help maximize your system’s output and lifespan.

Most residential solar projects in Redding take between 2 to 4 weeks from start to finish. This includes the initial consultation, site evaluation, permitting, panel installation, and system activation. Installation itself usually takes 1–2 days. Timelines can vary depending on your local utility’s approval process, your roof’s readiness, and whether battery storage is included. We’ll keep you updated at every stage for a smooth, predictable experience.

Many homeowners can still install solar on older roofs, but it depends on the roof’s condition and remaining lifespan. If repairs or a replacement are needed, we coordinate with Harbert Roofing to address it before installation—often bundling it into your solar project timeline. This ensures your solar system is secure and protects your home long-term.

System size depends on your home’s electricity usage, available roof space, and goals. During your consultation, we analyze your past energy bills and roof layout to design a system that balances energy production with cost efficiency. Whether you’re looking to offset 50% or 100% of your usage, we’ll help you choose the best fit.
