How it Works With Current Home
Contact us through this page to hire Current Home to go solar. Thereafter, we will schedule an appointment followed by an initial consultation to assess your home’s energy needs and conduct a roof audit to determine whether the roof is suitable for installing solar panels.
Current Home assesses your home’s suitability for solar panels through a multistep process that involves site evaluation, structural roof analysis, space availability for solar panels, shading status, energy consumption review, and electrical system inspection. We prepare a detailed report based on this analysis and present it to you. Only after thorough checking do we determine your home’s suitability for solar panels.
We consider the structural integrity of the roof to determine whether it can handle the weight of the solar panels. Additionally, we at Current Home consider environmental factors like wind and rain. Our years of experience mean we are familiar with the weather patterns in the area, and we take that into account as well while evaluating your roof.
During the initial consultation, we initiate a friendly conversation with our client to understand their energy usage and explain our services. We also inspect your roof using satellite imagery to determine the kind of sunlight it receives. Once the customer gives us the go-ahead, we proceed with space availability, shading, and so on.
Since each home is different and its geographic location is unique, we design every solar energy system from scratch. That’s because the amount of sunlight every home receives can be different. Harnessing the sun’s energy is also determined by the roof area and the roof’s strength, as that decides the number of solar panels it can hold. Additionally, the energy requirement of every home is different, which makes it necessary to design customized solar energy systems.
The design process involves panel placement optimization, system size calculation, and equipment selection. Each step aims to maximize the amount of solar energy that can be harnessed and provide the customer with the maximum possible ROI. During this process, we keep the customer in the loop so that they are aware of the progress and the likely turnaround time.
We offer all 3 types of solar panels, which include Monocrystalline panels, Polycrystalline panels, and even thin film panels. When recommending one of these to clients, we consider the amount of sunlight received, the efficiency required, and the space available.
Along with solar panels, we also offer ground-breaking battery technology to ensure that you never have to worry about a blackout.
Current Home has extensive experience handling documentation and permits for clients. We handle building permits, utility company agreements, and even incentive applications.
All you need to do is speak with your HOA (if applicable) so that we can step in and assess your solar energy system requirements.
According to the Department of Energy, Solar PV energy systems are eligible for a 30% Investment Tax Credit as long as they are installed between 2022 and 2032. The good news is that the amount you can claim is unlimited.
Apart from that, you also get some incentives depending on the state in which you reside. For example, Florida provides an exemption for the addition of value a solar power system provides in a property’s taxable value. The exemption is 100%. Similarly, California’s Revenue and Taxation Code provides property tax exclusion for most solar energy systems installed up until December 31, 2024.
Additionally, both California and Florida offer net metering, which means that if you generate excessive power, you offset your power cost, if any.
On the Installation day, our team will arrive at a pre-decided time and initiate the process. The steps they follow include roof prep, mounting system installation, panel placement, wiring, and inverter setup. While we have explained this process in a simplified way, each of these steps involves many different procedures. However, since we have assessed your requirements before the installation day, everything is done in a planned and timely manner.
Nope, because our team arrives at a pre-decided time on the installation day. Additionally, we ensure that your premises isn’t disrupted on the installation day. We inform the customer regarding the area we will be occupying and for how long it will be inaccessible.
With careful planning and by alerting our customers in advance, we aim to ensure your life progresses as normal, even on the installation day.
The actual installation takes 1 to 3 days. However, the entire process from initial inspection to final inspection and activation, can take 3 to 4 weeks. In certain cases, obtaining the permits and completing documentation might take longer. We often inform the customer of the likely turnaround time during the initial consultation itself.
After installation, we conduct the final inspections to ensure everything is connected properly and ready to use. Apart from that we start the procedure to obtain the utility company approval and thereafter activate the solar energy system. That means even after the physical installation of the solar energy systems, there is a considerable amount of work involved. However, when you hire Current Home, you need not worry about anything.
We set up a monitoring system for you, which helps you know how much power your solar panels are generating in real time. We also provide our customers with our contact details should they require any help from us. Since we keep the customer in the loop right from the start, our customers are aware of how the system works. All these steps by Current Home help our customers switch over to solar power seamlessly.

Additionally, you get to avail the solar tax credit highlighted above. In a nutshell, you do not need to spend anything, and you can save money in the process. Click here to learn more about our Financing Options.
Yes, the solar panels come with a 25-year warranty. Also, depending on your payment method, you can even get a lifetime warranty.
Solar panels need little to no maintenance after installation. Only occasional cleaning of solar panels is needed. Apart from that, a minimal check-up is required for the proper functioning of the system.
When the solar energy panels produce more energy than required, it is sent back to the grid. The local utility company can then resell it to other customers. The amount is then credited to your electricity bill.
Yes, you can use electricity from the grid after Current Home installs a solar energy system on your premises.
Current Home sets up a monitoring system in your home so that you can monitor the electricity generated from your solar panels. Apart from that we are just a phone call away should you need help. That means in case you notice any discrepancy, you can contact us and we will help you out. Usually, solar energy systems don’t need much maintenance or support.
Usually, a Solar Energy System can last over 25 years if maintained properly. According to the Department of Energy, such a system can produce power for as long as 35 years. However, its efficiency can gradually reduce over time.
The lifespan of a solar battery is usually between 5 to 15 years. It depends on factors like the type of battery, depth of discharge, number of cycles, environmental factors, installation, and maintenance. Of course, we at Current Home offer our customers solar batteries with the highest possible efficiency levels.
