Maintenance Requirements:

Most solar components carry a manufacturer’s warranty of up to 25 years. As with any other products you may buy, warranties can be driven by the quality of the equipment you are considering, cheaper equipment can mean shorter warranties. Eagle Point Solar generally warrants our workmanship for 5 years but extensions of that timeframe are possible.

Efficiency or Sustainability Improvements:

From day one solar power offsets a portion of your electricity purchases from your utility and therefore reduces your electric bills. Since there is very little, if any, on-going costs, you also lock in the solar portion of your electricity costs which is a great hedge against inflation and makes budgeting your utility costs a breeze. You will fully recoup the cost of the solar system long before the end of its useful life. Since most components are warranted for up to 25 years and last for 40+ years, you will be reaping the financial awards for decades to come. It will improve public perception as you are demonstrating your commitment to a healthier planet. Environmentally conscious businesses are viewed as good neighbors in any community and that can be priceless.
