Connor and another Reno Solar emnployee Cayla Alu were both fantastic in their care and communication as we climbed over a few hurdles and adjustments we had to make along the way. Reno Solar’s reps and work crew always made me feel like they cared, and they’ve been great about making things right at every opportunity. I believe Connor is no longer with the company but he has still helped out a few times to liason with Reno Solar to make sure everything was going proper and right. I fully endorse him and Reno Solar. My system is running smoothly and it feels great to have it financially and environmentally.The only thing I disliked was some various delays in getting approvals from Nv Energy, but that was offset by great communication and empathetic effort from Reno Solar to see my project through. Now it’s running smooth and I love it

I had Reno Solar install 11 solar panels on our roof last December and it’s definitely been the best decision. My most recent electric bill was $17 and that’s just basic service charge and various fees that NV Energy charges. We’ve used our air conditioner and the panels are covering our needs. We are definitely saving money. Jory and his staff and crews were always available to answer my questions and always professional and courteous. If you’re on the fence about Solar I highly Recommend Reno Solar. There was no money out of pocket and my monthly payment and NV energy’s fees is less then what I was paying for electricity. Locally owned and operated. Who doesn’t want to save money.

I want to thank Reno Solar and the Whole Company, and Crew for Taking care of me in what was a stressful time in my life. I had so many companies from other states come and try to get me to go with them, but they were All out-of-state. I wanted someone local, I knew I could be in contact with right away and found Reno Solar. From Start to Finish (more than a few months, because of glitches) I was taken care of. Even the lending company they put me with were amazing, and what a great rate. I did not have to Pay a dime to get this all done. The Goodleap company gave me a rate that is so much cheaper than the NV Energy monthly bill, It was a Win Win all the way. I must say I could not have done this without Cayla, and Fernando. They were on top of and in contact every step of the way. Cayla would call me to update me all the time, letting me know that I was not forgotten. The Installers - Tristin, Dillion, Jordan & Steven were THE BEST, love, love, love them.. What Fantastic Guys. The Sweetest, kindest most hard working guys, I have come across. They were so professional and knocked out the Installation in one day. (and not a small job). All the Inspections were done in a timely matter, Fire Department, County Inspector and Now the NV Energy man, who turned out to be the Dearest man. There is no other Solar company I would recommend. My neighbors are watching me to see how it goes and I have referred and recommended Reno Solar. With the cost of energy and gas going up, I am looking to save a lot, because being on a fixed income is not fun.

The only problem with this company is that they’re not in more states. Jory, the owner, is a stand up business owner and respected person within the solar community. There is no better place to spend your money when it comes to renewable energy! Shout to Reno Solar!

I believe Reno Solar is a good company but they partnered with G3 which is an awful company. From my understanding, Reno Solar is no longer working with G3 which is a good choice. G3 is awful, they screwed up the net metering agreement with NVENERGY 4 times resulting an 8 month wait to produce power. I would recommend Reno Solar now since they have completely disassociated from G3. Call Reno Solar, they do their own installs now and are completely self sufficient.

Thank you, Reno Solar .

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What are the different types of solar panels?

There are currently two major technologies or types of solar panels: silicon solar panels (broken down into monocrystalline and polycrystalline based on how the silicon is processed) and thin-film. Here at Reno Solar We only use the best panels in the industry. We take pride in the longevity of our systems and only want the best. We only use Tier 1 black on black panels to keep a sleek and low profile look on your roof.

How long do solar panels last?

Solar panels and their components are designed to last at least 25-30 years, though there are several accounts of them lasting much longer. According to NREL,  a solar panel will still generate 90% of its original energy output on the 20th year anniversary! Here at Reno Solar you get 25 years Equipment warranty, Plus a 10 year workmanship warranty. Its solid, no risk and reliable investment in your Home.

What kind of maintenance do solar panels need?

Solar panels demands very little to no maintenance in their lifetimes. The glass, silicon and metal components are designed to last through year after year exposed to scorching-hot sun, pouring rain, howling wind and falling hail, snow, debris, etc. The system does not carry any moving parts, and the panels are sealed and designed to be weather-tight. Nearly all modern panels come with a warranty that protects you against material defects and guarantees energy production for 25 years.

That being said, the occasional check-up or light sweeping of debris definitely won’t hurt. In winter, snow will usually slide right off your panels’ smooth surface.

How do solar panels help you save money?

When you install  install solar panels on your roof  you are using the electricity produced to offset your demands. With the panels hooked up behind the electric meter, NV Energy is responsible for tracking the amount of solar energy produced and the amount used by your home when the sun isn’t shining.

Here in Nevada, the home’s solar electricity is credited to the homeowner’s utility account on a 1-to-1 basis. This kind of billing is called net metering, and it means the homeowner saves the full price for every kilowatt-hour of solar energy they use solar to offset.

Over the typical 25-year lifespan of a solar installation, these savings can add up to tens of thousands of dollars more than the initial cost of the system, essentially making the purchase of solar panels like an investment, and the energy bill savings like dividends.

Should I wait to install solar until it gets cheaper?

We’ve seen some variation on this questions for at least 12 years now, and the answer is almost always “NO.”

There are two reasons for this answer: solar incentives are expiring, and saving money now is better than saving money later.

First the incentives. The federal solar tax credit is scheduled to begin “phasing out” as of January 1st, 2022. By January 1st, 2023, there won’t be a tax credit for home solar any more. For the average homeowner, this tax credit currently represents sometimes $6,000 or more in savings on home solar. We’d say it’s not a good idea to leave $6,000 on the table.

The state incentives might also be disappearing.  Unless you’re specifically waiting for a new incentive program to begin, the time to install solar panels is now.

Next, the “time value of money.” Solar panels save money now. We know this. And the savings they generate are currently estimated to continue for 20-25 years, depending on how (and how much) you pay. Taking a loan or paying cash now gets you saving money today, but waiting for a year or two reduces the value of those future savings by at least the amount of inflation, not including what else you could be doing with the money now.

Again, with incentives and net metering either disappearing or undergoing changes all over, it pays to evaluate your potential savings with solar now rather than wait to act when the deal might not be as good.
