A rooftop solar system is a major investment. As with any large investment, you need to arm yourself with accurate information to make the best decision for you and your family.

Ask your tax professional
How will the purchase/lease of your system affect your annual taxes?

Ask your insurance agent
Will your current home insurance cover your system or will your existing coverage be affected?

Ask your real estate agent
How will a rooftop system affect the value of your home?
Are there any potential hurdles if you need to sell your home in the future?
