FAQ · Straight answers
Everything else
you’re wondering about.
The seven questions people usually only ask on the phone. Same answers we’d give you then — written down so you can read them at 11pm.
-
What if I sell the house?
The system transfers with the home. Owned solar (cash or loan-paid) is a plus for buyers — you’re selling them lower bills. If you still owe on the loan, it either pays off at closing (like a mortgage) or transfers to the buyer — their choice, negotiated in escrow. It has never once blocked a sale of ours.
-
What if my roof needs replacing soon?
We check roof age and condition during design. If it needs replacing in five years or less, we tell you plainly: do the roof first, then call us back. Removing and reinstalling panels afterward runs $1,500–$3,000. Not scary — just planning. Better to do it in the right order.
-
What happens during a power outage?
Honest answer most sites bury: standard grid-tied solar shuts off during an outage. It’s a utility safety rule — so line workers don’t get shocked by your panels feeding the dead grid. Only solar with a battery keeps your lights on.
-
What’s actually covered by warranty?
Three separate warranties, three different terms. Most sites blur them into one comforting number — here they are unblurred:
Panels 25 years Direct with REC / Q Cells / SunPowerInverter 12–25 years Enphase micro-inverters: 25 yrWorkmanship 10 years Our labor, roof penetrations, wiringAll three transfer with the home if you sell. A copy lives in a plastic sleeve stapled to the paperwork we hand you on install day.
-
What if ALA Solar goes out of business?
Panel and inverter warranties are direct with the manufacturers — Enphase, REC, Q Cells, Tesla. They’re multibillion-dollar companies. They survive us regardless. Our workmanship warranty is where a local installer differs from a national franchise: we hold the paper, we’ve been operating in the Inland Empire since 2016, and we carry $2M in general liability. Ask to see the certificate — we’ll email it.
-
Do I really need a battery?
Under NEM 3.0 the math is close, not obvious. If your peak SCE hours are 4–9pm and you’re running AC, cooking, or charging an EV in the evening, yes. If you’re out of the house most evenings and low usage after sunset, often no. We run a real cost-benefit on your specific 12-month SCE usage — not a blanket “yes, add battery.”
-
Are you the cheapest?
No. We’re mid-market. The cheapest quotes usually come from door-to-door national franchises using out-of-state subcontractors — you save $1–2K up front and inherit a workmanship warranty from someone three states away. Our crew is our crew, we handle permits ourselves, and if something breaks we’re fifteen minutes from your roof. Worth the difference for most homeowners.
