Detach Reset Solar

Yes, While pricing covers most aspects of the solar panel detach and reset.

It is not uncommon for clients to request upgrades or additions, such as critter guards, our 25 year extended warranty, a solar panel cleaning, inverter replacements, micro inverter replacements, or panel replacements. These additional features may increase the cost of the project, but we are always happy to work with clients to ensure that their solar system meets their unique needs and preferences.

There are two types of warranties to consider when it comes to solar equipment - manufacturer warranty and workmanship warranty. The manufacturer's warranty covers the solar equipment, including the panels and components, and is provided by the manufacturer. This means that if any malfunctions occur with the equipment, the manufacturer is responsible for addressing the issue.

At our company, we offer an additional layer of protection for homeowners. When we perform solar panel maintenance services, we automatically provide the homeowner with a brand new 10-year workmanship and leak warranty for all the work we touch. This means that if any issues arise due to our workmanship or cause leaks, we will take responsibility and address them promptly.

At Detach Reset Solar™, we offer an additional layer of protection beyond the original workmanship warranty.

Solar panels can be safely stored on-site or in a garage. As solar components are waterproof and built to withstand outdoor conditions, there is no risk of damage to the panels during storage.

If you choose to store the panels in your garage, you can either provide us with the garage code or be present during the date of reinstallation to grant us access to the panels. We understand that your time is valuable, and we will work with you to schedule a convenient time for the reinstallation that accommodates your schedule.

It is not necessary for the homeowner to be present during the solar panel reinstallation, unless requested. However, we will require access to the roof and the inverter, which is usually located on the side of the house. It is important to ensure that we have the necessary access to complete the reinstallation process efficiently and effectively.

Payment for our services is divided into two equal parts. The first 50% of the invoice is due upon the removal of the solar panels, and the remaining 50% is due upon the reinstallation of the panels and confirming that they are functioning properly.

At Detach Reset Solar™ roof protection is one of our top priorities when it comes to reinstalling solar panels. To ensure the safety of your roof, we use mats to protect the main walkways during the installation process. Additionally, we spray water on the shingles to cool them down and keep them compact while we walk on them.

At Detach Reset Solar™, we understand that the removal and reinstall process may cause the homeowner to pay both the solar bill as well as the utility bill, which can result in a slight increase in their utility bill. However, we strive to complete our jobs efficiently and aim to finish within one month, unlike most other companies that take up to 90 days. As a result, the spike in utilities bill is minor, and we prioritize completing the job in a timely manner to minimize any inconvenience to the homeowner. Ultimately, paying the power bill is the responsibility of the homeowner.

Net metering is a billing arrangement between a utility company and a homeowner with solar panels. Under net metering, the homeowner's solar panels generate electricity that is fed back into the grid. The utility company tracks the amount of electricity that the homeowner generates and uses, and credits the homeowner for any excess energy they produce. The homeowner is billed only for the net energy they use, which is the difference between the electricity they generate and the electricity they consume.

Net metering allows homeowners with solar panels to reduce their electricity bills and even earn credits from their utility company. It also helps to promote the use of renewable energy by incentivizing homeowners to generate their own electricity from solar panels. Net metering policies vary by state and utility company, so it is important to check with your local utility company to understand the specific details of the program.

A kilowatt-hour (kWh) is a unit of energy used to measure the amount of electricity consumed over time. It is defined as the amount of energy used by a device that requires one kilowatt of power for one hour of operation. In other words, if you leave a 100-watt light bulb on for 10 hours, you will have used 1 kilowatt-hour of electricity. The kilowatt-hour is the standard unit of measurement used by utility companies to bill customers for their electricity usage.

A watt (W) is a unit of power, which measures the rate at which energy is used or generated per second. One watt is equal to one joule per second. For example, if a device uses 100 watts, it means that it consumes 100 joules of energy every second.

A kilowatt (kW) is a unit of power that is equal to 1000 watts. It is commonly used to measure the power output of electrical devices and the capacity of power plants. For example, a typical residential solar panel system may have a capacity of 5 kW, which means that it can generate up to 5,000 watts of power under optimal conditions.

The efficiency of solar panels is a measure of how well they convert sunlight into usable electricity. Higher efficiency panels are able to generate more electricity for a given amount of sunlight than lower efficiency panels. This means that, all other things being equal, higher efficiency panels will perform better than lower efficiency panels.

In practical terms, this means that a solar panel with an efficiency of 20% will generate more electricity than a panel with an efficiency of 15% when both are exposed to the same amount of sunlight. This is because the higher efficiency panel is able to convert a greater percentage of the sunlight it receives into electricity.

The efficiency drop in a solar panel per year depends on various factors such as the type and quality of the panel, the manufacturer, environmental conditions, and maintenance. On average, most solar panels experience an annual efficiency drop of around 0.5% to 1%. However, some high-quality panels can retain up to 80% of their initial efficiency even after 25 years. Proper maintenance and cleaning of solar panels can also help to minimize efficiency drops over time.

Cloudy or overcast weather can reduce the amount of sunlight that reaches the solar panels, which in turn can lower their efficiency and output.

However, this doesn't mean that solar panels won't work on cloudy days at all. They will still generate some electricity, just not as much as they would on a sunny day.

Similarly, snow and ice can accumulate on the surface of the panels and reduce their ability to generate electricity. If snow or ice is left on the panels for a prolonged period of time, it can cause damage to the panels or their mounting structures. In areas that experience heavy snowfall, it is important to make sure that your solar panels are installed at an angle that allows the snow to slide off easily.

High temperatures can cause solar panels to become less efficient. This is because the heat can reduce the efficiency of the photovoltaic cells, which convert sunlight into electricity. When the temperature of the panels rises, the voltage and current output of the cells can decrease, resulting in reduced energy production.

Cleaning solar panels is important to ensure that they are operating at maximum efficiency. Over time, dirt, dust, and other debris can accumulate on the surface of the panels, which can reduce their ability to absorb sunlight and generate electricity. Here are some tips on how to clean your solar panels:

Check with your manufacturer: Before cleaning your solar panels, it is important to check with your manufacturer to see if they have any specific instructions or recommendations for cleaning their particular brand of panels. Some manufacturers may recommend specific cleaning solutions or techniques that are best for their products.

Choose the right time of day: It is best to clean your solar panels either early in the morning or late in the evening when the panels are cool and not in direct sunlight. Cleaning them during the day when they are hot can cause the cleaning solution to evaporate quickly, leaving behind streaks.

Use the right cleaning solution: When cleaning your solar panels, use a mild soap solution or a commercial cleaning solution specifically designed for solar panels. Avoid using abrasive materials, such as scrub brushes or steel wool, as they can scratch the surface of the panels.

Rinse with water: After applying the cleaning solution, rinse the panels with a hose or pressure washer. Make sure to rinse thoroughly to remove all the cleaning solution and any remaining debris.

Lastly, avoid walking on the panels: Walking on the panels can cause damage, so it is best to clean them from the ground using a long-handled brush or squeegee. If you must get on the roof to clean the panels, use caution and take proper safety precautions.
