Frequently asked solar questions

Home solar pricing depends on roof, system size, equipment, and location. Many U.S. systems land in the tens of thousands of dollars before incentives. Aurica prepares a quote for your home instead of a one-size guess.

It depends on your electric rates, roof, sunlight, incentives, and how you pay. Solar can lower what you buy from the utility, but savings are not guaranteed. A proposal for your address is the best way to decide.

Most modern panels are designed to produce power for 25 years or more, with warranties covering equipment and performance. Actual life depends on the product and installation.

A solar power purchase agreement usually means a company owns the system on your roof, and you pay for the electricity it produces—often with little or no money down. Your signed agreement sets the rate, term, and other details.

When you pay cash, you own the system. With a solar PPA, the provider owns the system and you pay for the power it produces. Aurica offers two ways to pay: cash purchase or a solar PPA (a 0% yearly rate or a 3.5% yearly increase).

No. “$0 upfront” only means some qualifying PPA offers do not require money down. You still pay for solar electricity under the agreement, and utility charges may remain.

Aurica offers two paths: pay cash and own the system, or a solar PPA where you pay for the power produced. PPA options include a 0% yearly rate (the contracted per-kWh rate stays flat) or about a 3.5% yearly increase. Those are the only two options we offer.

Standard grid-tied solar usually shuts off during an outage for safety. With a home battery like Tesla Powerwall 3 or Q.HOME CORE, you can keep some power running—duration depends on size and loads.

A home battery stores electricity for evening use and outages. It pairs well with home solar panels so you can use more of your own power after sunset.

They differ in storage size, power output, and features. Aurica helps you compare Tesla Powerwall 3 and Q.HOME CORE for your home where available.

Availability varies by location. Contact Aurica with your ZIP and we will check Tesla Powerwall 3 and other battery options for your area.

Axia by Qcells is a reputable panel partner Aurica works with. The right panel and layout still depend on your roof and goals.

It depends on your utility and location. Installation itself usually takes just two to three weeks, but on rare occasions a project can take a few months from signed agreement to turn-on, usually because of roof work, HOA reviews or utility queues.

Some buyers value solar, but appraisals and local markets differ. Do not count on a specific resale bump. Focus on energy goals and the agreement you sign.

It depends on whether you own the system or have a PPA, and on what the buyer and their mortgage lender require. Transfer rules are in your contracts—ask us early if a move is likely.

Sometimes. Panels last decades, so a roof in poor condition may need work first. We flag roof concerns during review.

Federal, state, and utility incentives change. Eligibility depends on your location and the product. We summarize what may apply after we know your address—not as tax advice.
