Savings depend on your system’s size, electricity usage, and local utility rates. For example, one of A&R Solar’s Seattle, Washington customers with a 12.5kW system saved $1,600 in their first year.
Homeowners in Washington and Oregon benefit from a federal tax credit of 30% for solar and battery installations. Both states offer Net Energy Metering programs. Oregon also offers rebates through the Energy Trust of Oregon, and Washington homeowners benefit from no sales tax on solar and battery equipment.
Net metering allows you to earn bill credits for excess electricity your solar system produces and sends to the grid. In Washington and Oregon, utility companies compensate you at retail rates for this surplus energy, offsetting your bill during months when your system produces less. These credits roll over monthly.
Yes! A&R Solar selects panels that capture direct and diffuse sunlight, allowing your home to generate electricity even on overcast days. The Northwest’s average temperature aligns well with the optimal temperature for solar panel efficiency, and the region’s long summer will likely produce around 60% of your annual solar production.
Most solar panels come with 25-year performance warranties. Battery warranties typically cover 10 years or a set number of cycles. Additionally, A&R Solar provides 10-year warranties on your residential system’s performance, workmanship, and labor.
S&R was extremely professional and responsive. They were able to provide a shading report and calculations for our project in Manhattan that was approved by DOB. If you're an architect in need of a consultant to comply with Building Bulletin 2019-010 Local Law 92/94, S&R is an excellent resource.
S&R is top notch. My company recently started working with S&R for solar engineering analysis and permitting packages. The experience has been excellent thus far. Their attention to detail and level of service is unmatched in this space. They provide precise feedback,communicate efficiently, and operate in a timely manner - all for a bargain price! I would highly recommend using S&R's services for anyone seeking photovoltaic engineering services.
S&R Solar Design helped me to close out a solar permit that was open from another applicant. They did a quick service, and throughout, they kept me in the loop with the process.
S&R is a company that I've worked with on numerous occasions and always had great experience with. They are professional, knowledgeable experts in solar design and permitting that respect and understand both the contractor and customer perspective. I highly recommend Sol, David and the entire S & R team.
I have worked with S&R Solar Design for 2+ years and they are fantastic. The service is detail oriented and always a fast turn-around. We receive permits in record time and never any objections or disapproval. Highly recommend for engineering and solar services in NYC area.
