FAQs

: Valley Solar helps customers plan and support complete backup power systems, not just solar panels. For some homes and businesses, a standby generator is the right fit on its own. For others, a generator works best alongside solar, battery storage, and electrical upgrades.
: Valley Solar brings together electrical expertise, solar design, battery storage, and long-term service support. That means we can look at your backup power needs as part of the whole energy system, not just install a generator in isolation.
: Yes. Valley Solar can service generators we did not install, as long as the equipment and site conditions are serviceable. Our team can help with maintenance, troubleshooting, and repair, and will let you know if replacement or another service path makes more sense.
: Yes, but the system needs to be designed correctly. Generator, solar, battery, inverter, and transfer equipment must be coordinated so the system operates safely and reliably.
: Yes. Standby generators should be maintained regularly so they are ready when needed. Maintenance needs vary by manufacturer, usage, site conditions, and system type.
: It depends on your goals. Batteries can provide quiet, automatic backup and can pair with solar. Generators can provide longer-duration backup when fuel is available. Some customers only need one or the other, while others may benefit from a layered backup system that includes both.
: It depends on what you want to keep running during an outage. Some customers want whole-home backup, while others only need essentials like refrigeration, heating equipment, well pumps, internet, lighting, or selected outlets. Valley Solar can evaluate your electrical needs and recommend an appropriate system size.
