Pricing

RenovaPLUS / Maintenance
There are a few ways, but the fastest is to check whether or not your current Edison meter is spinning backward. RenovaPLUS can also analyze your system to see if it’s working. Also, be sure to check your monitoring app.
We recommend having your solar panels cleaned 2-3 times per year.
Yes! We can still help replace panels or find suitable replacements, depending on your needs. We can also help you find the manufacturer to ask questions about the warranty.
Roofing
No, solar panels won’t damage your roof if they’re installed correctly. Professional installers like Renova take several precautions to ensure your roof stays protected, such as assessing its condition before installation, sealing and covering any holes drilled during the process, and providing warranties against leaks.
Not always, but it’s recommended if your roof is more than 10 years old. As an experienced solar company, we can assess your specific roof and make recommendations.
Solar panels can be installed on most roof types, including flat roofs, metal roofs, and pitched roofs with shingles.
Yes, Renova Energy has trained roofing professionals who will thoroughly survey your home’s installation area. As a certified roofing contractor, Renova can handle any necessary roof work, so there’s no need to hire another contractor for your project.
Solar Panels
The solar panels that Renova provides deliver up to a 30-year product and production warranty. Many times, other manufacturers boast a 25-year power warranty but only offer a 10-year or 12-year product warranty. These warranties may also require homeowners to pay for shipping or crew expenses to repair the module if there’s a problem. Renova guarantees that your panel will still produce 92% of the original amount of energy at Year 25 – no other panel even comes close.
In order to offer a competitive price, many companies propose a system that only covers a percentage of your electricity usage. The result is an electric bill that will keep getting higher as electric prices increase. Renova Energy strives to offset 95-100% of your electric bill in order to keep your total cost for electricity as low as possible.
Renova Energy offers the most advanced and efficient solar panels in the industry, backed by third-party testing and verification from American companies to ensure they withstand the harsh desert environment.
Tesla Powerwall
Tesla offers a 10-year warranty for the Powerwall, guaranteeing at least 70% of its original capacity during that time. With proper use and maintenance, a Powerwall can potentially last longer, but like all rechargeable batteries, it can experience some capacity decay over time.
A single Powerwall can power most electrical devices in an average home, including appliances and even electric vehicles. Each Powerwall can deliver up to 21 amps of energy. The exact capabilities depend on your home’s energy usage and the number of Powerwalls installed.
Yes, you can activate a feature called Go Off-Grid on the Tesla app to disconnect your Powerwall from the grid.
