Solar costs depend on your energy use, system size, site and equipment. Financing may help spread the cost over time; we can review options, estimated production and the economics in your proposal. Financing terms and savings vary.

Yes. Solar panels can generate electricity in cold weather when sunlight reaches them. Production varies with shorter days, clouds and snow cover; panels covered by snow produce little or no electricity until sunlight can reach them.

Carlson Electric describes a workmanship warranty. Solar equipment may also carry manufacturer warranties. We’ll review the applicable warranty documents, terms and coverage for the equipment and installation in your proposal.

Gather about a year of electric bills if available, along with your property address and any questions about roof or ground mounting. Carlson Electric says residential estimates may be prepared remotely or onsite, depending on the project.
