4 Benefits to Residential Solar Installation
Save Money and Offset Electricity Bill
1. Residential Solar Benefits - Save $
Most solar installation projects we do completely offset their home electricity bill. Part of our initial process is to create an energy design of your home by using size of your roof, which direction your home faces, how much sun vs. shade you get, and other parameters. We will then use that design and walk you through whether or not you can completely offset your electricity bill or not.

Thanks guys, you earned the 5 Stars. richard boisvert2024-11-26Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Porter Electrical worked closely with us to devise a solar system with batteries that was out of the usual configuration. The result was a system that performed perfectly during power outages. Electrical service shifted seamlessly and even our WiFi suffered no interruption. The work was done on schedule and all debris and packaging disappeared. We are extremely pleased with our experience.

Highly recommend David Janeczek2024-07-03Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The Porter Electrical team installed a solar PV array at my property in May of 2024. The team worked quickly while being extremely professional and courteous; more importantly they were able to complete the install in one day. They effectively answered all of my questions prior to and during the install. They connected me to the 'my Solar Edge' app which makes it easy to monitor system performance at any time down to the specific panel from my phone - it couldn't be easier. Finally, the Porter Electrical team is highly responsive and customer focused; great people to work with.

Chris was great to work with and the pricing was very competitive! Jim Doyle2024-06-10Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’m really happy I got Porter in to do our solar with battery storage project. In rural Maine plenty of power outages and we did not want a propane generator for backup. We found Chris thru Energy Sage which got us I think six companies quoting the job. I also contacted two other companies. I did a lot of research found out what type and functions we wanted and went with Enphase solar FranklinWH storage and a Span smart panel. We got it down to two companies and found Porter provided what we wanted at the best price. Porter came in when they said they would and installed what they quoted. Two licensed electrician with two apprentices for two days. It came out great. Clean installation printed labels symmetrical looking layouts. With some of the issues presented to Chris one of his answers was well this is how its going to get done because its the right way to do it. I noticed he changed out some of my breakers the house was wired with some circuits sharing the neutral bringing it up to code which it should have been when house was built. It’s still very new with a bug or two. He’s responsive to these also. Go with Porter! Thanks Chris / Derrick and Kyle!Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.

FAQs About Residential Solar
If you have a roof that has asphalt shingles that are 10 years old or more your roof should be replaced before installation. Porter electrical service reps will check your roof and surrounding foliage in person to determine whether there’s too much shade or other obstacles to hinder the solar panel installation process.
The ideal size of your solar energy system depends on your electricity usage and how much sun your roof gets and among other things. Look at past electric bills and compare offers from licensed solar installers to determine the best size for your needs. If considering future electrical upgrades such as EV chargers make sure to tell your installer so they can size your system to meet your future needs.
Solar rebates and incentives vary depending on where you live, who your utility provider is, and other criterias unique to your situation. The most significant solar incentive available to homeowners nationwide it’s the 30% federal investment tax credit (ITC), which allows you to deduct 30% of the cost of your Solar energy system from your taxes. Some states offer additional tax credits, and certain municipalities and utilities offer other incentives like cash rebates.
No, as long as you’re connected to the grid, your solar panel system doesn’t necessarily need a battery. Your excess power will flow back to the grid, and you can draw from the grid if you need more electricity than your panels generate. If you want backup power during outages, you will need a battery and if you don’t have access to the one- to- one net metering, batteries can significantly increase your savings with Solar making them very worthwhile.
The Solar panels start creating electricity immediately after installation of the utilities net meter therefore, you might even see the changes in the next bill you recieve.
