Getting Started with Solar

Solar power is no longer a niche idea or a futuristic concept—it’s a mainstream, practical, and increasingly affordable way to power your home. Once you’ve improved your home’s efficiency and transitioned to electric systems, solar becomes one of the smartest next steps in your future-proofing journey.

With the right setup, your roof can generate most—or even all—of the electricity your home needs. Combined with battery storage, solar gives you energy independence, backup power during outages, and protection from rising utility rates.

This module will walk you through the benefits of solar, what to consider when installing a system, how to size it properly, and how to take full advantage of available incentives.
