Why should I switch to solar?
The sun comes up every day, folks, and that’s exactly why solar power is such a reliable, renewable, and clean way to light up our lives. It helps us cut back on the dirty stuff like oil, coal, and natural gas that not only mess with our health but our beautiful planet, too.
Back in 2020, Different Energies kicked off the ‘self-served solar’ model, and ever since, we’ve been pushing hard to make sure our planet runs on the sun, offering Americans energy that’s not just clean but also affordable and reliable. Investing in residential solar isn’t just good for now—it’s a step towards a sustainable future, conserving resources and protecting our world.
Plus, let’s talk about getting bang for your buck—solar panels and home batteries are not just more wallet-friendly these days, they’re also more robust, efficient, and a real peace-of-minder during power outages or when Mother Nature throws a curveball. Unlike the unpredictable costs from your utility company, Different Energies gives you stable, affordable rates for 20 to 25 years. With home solar, you’re in charge of your energy future.
Is my home ready for solar?
There are quite a few factors that play into how well your home can take advantage of solar power. Things like your home’s location, the slant of your roof, how much shade covers your house during the day, and even the age of your roof all matter.
Our solar reps are here to help you figure out if your home is ready for solar right now. We use our Ai-driven solar design tech, to do a tailored analysis of your property and really get a handle on your energy needs.

How many solar panels will my home need?
First off, how much power do you need? Take a look at your electric bills to see your yearly kilowatt-hour (kWh) usage. We can dive into this together during your free solar consultation to pinpoint exactly how much juice your panels will need to crank out.
What’s the weather like where you live? The amount of panels you’ll need hinges on how sunny it is around your place.
And how much direct sunlight does your roof get? Things like shading, the direction your roof faces, and any personal style choices can affect the size of the system you’ll need.
Here at Different Energies, we’ve got some sharp AI-driven solar design technology that helps us tailor a system that pumps out energy more efficiently and quickly than the old manual way.
Why do you need my historical energy usage?
Knowing how much electricity you’ve used in the past helps us design a solar system that’s just the right fit for your home.
Electricity usage can really vary from one household to another, and even from season to season. That’s why Charlie asks for a monthly average of a full year of your electricity usage—it lets us build a system that truly matches your needs.
ShopSolar.ai is all set to estimate a year’s worth of your usage data to get the complete picture. Since energy use can swing with the seasons, we take a close look at 12 months of data to really understand your home’s energy patterns and requirements.
Does my state offer incentives to switch to solar?
Check out where Different Energies operates and discover what solar incentives might be up for grabs in your state. Common perks include state tax credits, net metering, and rebates from your local utility. Plus, no matter where you’re located in the U.S., you’ll qualify for the federal solar tax credit when you buy your own solar system.
Will a solar system increase the value of my home?
Installing a home solar system is just like any other upgrade—it can bump up your home’s value and make it more attractive to potential buyers. A study from 2019 found that, on average, homes with solar panels fetch about 4.1% more than those without. So, going solar isn’t just good for the planet—it’s great for your property’s market value too.

How long does my installation take?
Getting a solar system installed on your roof can be a pretty quick affair—many Different Energies’ installations wrap up in just one day.
But before our crew shows up, we spend a few weeks getting everything lined up so your installation day goes off without a hitch. We handle most of the heavy lifting and keep you in the loop every step of the way. Here’s what we do:
- Conduct a site survey: We’ll take a good look at your roof, attic, and electrical panel.
- Finalize your custom design: We tailor everything to fit your home perfectly.
- Handle the paperwork: We apply for permits, wait for approvals, and gather any other docs needed, like HOA approvals, specific to your area.
When it’s time to get started, we’ll let you know exactly what to expect on installation day, how long it’ll take, and how you can get your home ready for the big day.
What incentives does the federal government offer?
The federal solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC) for residential solar systems is set at 30% through 2032. This tax credit allows homeowners to deduct 30% of the cost of installing a solar energy system from their federal taxes, with no upper limit. The ITC was extended at this rate as part of the Inflation Reduction Act signed into law in August 2022. This extension provides significant ongoing support for residential solar installations.
