Solar panels may come with a hefty price tag, but their seemingly endless benefits are worth the cost. Some of the strongest returns on investment include:
Using solar panels to capture the sun’s rays and generate electricity may seem costly. But installing a solar system in your home can reduce your overall utility costs by $1,500 a year, or roughly $25,000 to $30,000 throughout the life of your panels. Additionally, some states, including California offer tax rebates for solar panel installation.
Utility rates and fees are always on the rise. With solar you can rest easy knowing your energy won’t cost more and more every year. With your own solar panel installation you can become independent from the ever increasing costs associated with powering your home. Get a quote today to see just how much you can start saving!
Installing a solar system in your home is the future of personal sustainability. Renewable energy sources are becoming more and more popular, perhaps overriding the use of traditional energy generation in future generations. Being on the forefront of green energy can help you and your family live a more sustainable life.
Not only does your energy generated via solar panel cost less, but it very well may be more reliable. The energy grids we are used to using can be vulnerable to overuse and black outs, leaving you and your family without power. Solar panels with batteries store the energy you generate, creating a surplus for when you need it most.
Solar panels work by capturing the energy radiated from the sun, converting into electricity, and then storing it in batteries until it is needed. Installing solar panels offers you the opportunity to save on traditional electricity costs, as well as store your energy for periods of heavy usage or power grid outages.
Recent policy updates have made it possible to add to your existing solar installation—without losing your NEM status! Act now to protect your current benefits, increase your energy production, and save more.
Installing solar panels is a relatively painless process when done correctly. That’s why the experienced team at Citadel Roofing and Solar are the ones to trust.

Yes. California is one of the states with highest subsidies and tax incentives for switching to solar. Especially with the rising costs of electricity, opting for green energy can save you thousands.
Yes. California offers a variety of incentives from solar rebates and tax credits for switching to renewable energy. These include federal solar investment tax credits, local incentives, and solar property tax exemption.
The newest solar law in California is NEM 3.0, which comes from the Net Energy Metering (NEM) program. NEM 3.0 reduces the rate of electricity export for residential solar use by around 75%, to encourage the use of battery storage and electric vehicle charging technologies.
The size of the solar system is dependent on two main factors. The size of the property, and the amount of energy that is used. Consult with a professional to determine the right system to fit your energy needs.
Installing a solar energy system has been shown to raise resale value by $5,911 per kW of panels installed. It has been a major selling point that also helps homes sell faster compared to homes without them.
Yes, you can add panels to your existing system. However, how you do this can affect your NEM status. Small additions (up to 1 kW or 10% of your original system size) will not affect your NEM status. Larger expansions can be done using non-exporting panels to preserve your existing NEM status.
Exporting panels send energy to the grid and can earn you NEM credits. Non-exporting panels only produce energy for your home’s use and do not send energy to the grid.
This depends on your energy needs and goals. If you’re looking to increase your solar production for self-consumption (e.g., for a growing family or an EV), adding non-exporting panels can be beneficial while preserving your favorable NEM status.

Citadel’s Prepaid Solar Lease makes going solar more affordable by allowing homeowners to lease their system for about 70% of the cost of purchasing it outright. Because Citadel retains ownership of the equipment, we’re able to capture available incentives and pass those savings on to you. For homeowners looking for little to no upfront investment, a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) provides a no-upfront-cost solution with lower monthly energy expenses.
Whichever option you choose, there are flexible solutions designed to fit your energy needs and budget.
