Panels, Inverter, Meter: The Three Parts of Every Residential System
Solar panels mounted on your roof generate direct current (DC) electricity whenever sunlight reaches them. An inverter installed alongside the system converts that DC power into the alternating current (AC) your home's outlets and appliances use.
Any electricity your system produces beyond what your home is using at that moment flows back through your utility meter, and how net metering works determines what that surplus is worth on your bill. A solar monitoring system lets you track production and household usage from your phone once the system is live.
Homeowners who want power to keep running through a grid outage can pair their system with solar battery storage, added at installation or fitted in later on.

Monthly Financing Payments Instead of One Upfront Bill
A residential solar system is a significant purchase, so Sunly offers financing packages that let homeowners spread the cost over monthly payments rather than paying the full amount upfront. During your free assessment, Sunly's team walks through the financing options available for your specific system size alongside your current electricity costs.
For a closer look at how the process works before you commit to anything, Sunly's guide to financing a solar investment breaks down what to expect, and the overview of current solar rebates covers incentives that may reduce your net cost.

Frequently Asked Questions About Residential Solar Installation
-
System size depends on your roof's usable space, your household's electricity usage and how much sun your property gets through the year. Sunly's online estimate gives you a starting point, and the free assessment confirms an exact panel count for your roof.
-
Once you sign off on a design, most residential systems are installed within a few weeks, depending on permitting timelines in your municipality and the season. The on-site installation itself for a typical home is usually completed in one to two days.
-
Yes, residential solar installations typically require a building and electrical permit, along with utility approval to connect to the grid. Sunly handles the permit applications and utility paperwork as part of the installation process.
-
An aging roof can still support solar, but mounting panels on a roof that will need work within the next few years usually means removing and remounting the system later. If your roof needs attention first, Sunly's roof rejuvenation service can extend its life without a full roof replacement before solar goes on.
-
Yes, battery storage can be added to most systems after the original installation, though wiring for it up front can make the addition easier later. Let your Sunly assessor know if you think you'll want a battery down the road so they can design for it now.
-
Financing is available for homeowners who would rather spread the cost of a system over time instead of paying the full amount upfront. Your Sunly assessor walks through the financing options that apply to your specific system size during your free assessment.
-
Shading and roof orientation both affect how much power a system produces, but many homes with partial shade or an east- or west-facing roof still generate enough to make solar worthwhile. The free assessment includes a shading and orientation review specific to your property before you commit to anything.
