Pair it with battery backup and your essential loads keep running even when the grid goes down. ([link](https://eaglesolarpower.com/faq#what-happens-during-a-power-outage)) - **Will solar panels damage my roof?** No. We use flashed, sealed mounts engineered for your roof type, and every penetration is warrantied. We also offer free detach & reset if you re-roof later. ([link](https://eaglesolarpower.com/faq#will-solar-panels-damage-my-roof)) - **How long does a typical solar installation take?** Most residential installs are completed in 1–2 days on-site. The full timeline from contract to permission-to-operate usually runs 4–8 weeks depending on your utility.

We provide everything your CPA needs. ([link](https://eaglesolarpower.com/faq#how-does-the-30-federal-tax-credit-work)) - **Is it better to pay cash or finance?** Cash has the fastest payback, but a low-rate solar loan is often cash-flow positive from month one. We'll show you both. ([link](https://eaglesolarpower.com/faq#is-it-better-to-pay-cash-or-finance)) - **How do I qualify for solar financing?** Most homeowners with a 650+ credit score qualify. We run a soft credit pull first no impact to your score. ([link](https://eaglesolarpower.com/faq#how-do-i-qualify-for-solar-financing)) ### Solar Maintenance - **How often should my solar system be professionally maintained?** Once a year is the sweet spot for DFW pairs well with a spring panel wash. ([link](https://eaglesolarpower.com/faq#how-often-should-my-solar-system-be-professionally-maintained)) - **How does regular maintenance impact performance?** Well-maintained systems typically produce 10–25% more annual energy than neglected ones, especially in dusty climates. ([link](https://eaglesolarpower.com/faq#how-does-regular-maintenance-impact-performance)) - **What if you find a problem during maintenance?** You'll get a written report with prioritized fixes and pricing. No surprise charges you decide what to approve. ([link](https://eaglesolarpower.com/faq#what-if-you-find-a-problem-during-maintenance)) ### Washing Solar Panels - **How often should I wash my solar panels?** In DFW we recommend twice a year once in spring after pollen, once in fall before peak production season. ([link](https://eaglesolarpower.com/faq#how-often-should-i-wash-my-solar-panels)) - **Will cleaning void my warranty?** No. Our methods follow every major panel manufacturer's cleaning guidelines. ([link](https://eaglesolarpower.com/faq#will-cleaning-void-my-warranty)) - **Can't I just use a garden hose?** Hard water leaves mineral spots that block sunlight worse than dust. We use deionized water for a spot-free finish. ([link](https://eaglesolarpower.com/faq#can-t-i-just-use-a-garden-hose)) ### Solar Detach & Reset - **What happens to my solar warranty?** Your panel and inverter warranties stay intact because the work is performed by a licensed solar contractor not a roofer. ([link](https://eaglesolarpower.com/faq#what-happens-to-my-solar-warranty)) - **How long does a detach and reset take?** Typically 1 day to detach and 1 day to reset, scheduled around your roofer's timeline. ([link](https://eaglesolarpower.com/faq#how-long-does-a-detach-and-reset-take)) - **Can my roofer just do it?** Most won't warranty the electrical work or the roof penetrations once they touch solar. That's why we exist. ([link](https://eaglesolarpower.com/faq#can-my-roofer-just-do-it)) ### Rodent Barrier - **Why do squirrels go under solar panels?** The shaded space between the panel and roof is a perfect nest. Once they're in, they often chew on DC wiring, which can disable the array or start a fire. ([link](https://eaglesolarpower.com/faq#why-do-squirrels-go-under-solar-panels)) - **Can you install critter guard on a system you didn't build?** Yes. We install rodent barriers on any brand of residential solar system in DFW. ([link](https://eaglesolarpower.com/faq#can-you-install-critter-guard-on-a-system-you-didn-t-build)) - **Does the mesh damage my roof?** No. We attach to the panel rails not your shingles so there are zero new roof penetrations. ([link](https://eaglesolarpower.com/faq#does-the-mesh-damage-my-roof)) ### Solar Inspections - **Can you inspect leased or PPA systems?** Absolutely. We document lease terms and confirm the system is performing per the contract. ([link](https://eaglesolarpower.com/faq#can-you-inspect-leased-or-ppa-systems)) - **Do I need a solar inspection before buying a house?** Yes. Standard home inspectors rarely test the solar system. A dedicated solar inspection protects you from inheriting a non-working array. ([link](https://eaglesolarpower.com/faq#do-i-need-a-solar-inspection-before-buying-a-house)) - **How long does an inspection take?** Typically 1–2 hours on-site, with the written report delivered within 48 hours. ([link](https://eaglesolarpower.com/faq#how-long-does-an-inspection-take)) ### Diagnostics - **Do I need to be the original owner?** No. We diagnose systems installed by other companies all the time, including installers that are no longer in business. ([link](https://eaglesolarpower.com/faq#do-i-need-to-be-the-original-owner)) - **My system is on but I'm getting a big bill what's wrong?** Usually a failed optimizer, a tripped inverter, a broken monitoring connection, or shading that wasn't accounted for. Diagnostics finds it in one visit. ([link](https://eaglesolarpower.com/faq#my-system-is-on-but-i-m-getting-a-big-bill-what-s-wrong)) - **How much does a diagnostic visit cost?** Flat-rate diagnostic fees apply by system size; we'll quote you up front before booking.
