Choosing the right solar installer is about more than just price. Look for a company with experience, transparent communication, and a strong track record in your area. KC Solar is locally owned and operated, so we understand the unique needs of homeowners and businesses in the Kansas City region.

Solar panels generate electricity by capturing sunlight and converting it into usable energy through photovoltaic (PV) cells. This electricity powers your home or business, and any excess energy can be stored or redirected depending on your system setup.

Going solar helps reduce your carbon footprint by cutting down on fossil fuel use. Solar energy is clean, renewable, and sustainable, making it one of the most impactful ways to help the environment — while also reducing your electric bill.

Yes! The federal solar investment tax credit (ITC) allows you to claim 30% of your total system cost on your federal taxes. However, there’s a chance this may not be available after 2025, so be sure to act quickly if you want to take advantage. Also, depending on where you live, you may also be eligible for additional incentives or rebates. KC Solar can help explain the programs available to you to make solar more affordable.

You probably won’t notice much — except for the difference in your utility bill. Your home will run the same way it always has, with the added benefit of generating your own clean power.

We make it simple. KC Solar handles everything in-house — from your initial consultation and custom system design to permitting, installation, and final inspection. We coordinate with your utility and local government so you don’t have to. No outsourcing, no confusion — just one trusted team throughout the process.

We start with a detailed assessment of your property, energy usage, and long-term goals. Whether you need a rooftop system, ground mount, or solar battery backup, our team designs a solution that fits your lifestyle and maximizes savings.

The amount of energy your system generates depends on several factors, including roof direction, shading, time of year, system size, and panel quality. KC Solar carefully evaluates all these variables to ensure you get the best performance possible.

Not at all. Solar panels are completely silent and have no moving parts. Once installed, they operate quietly in the background while you go about your day.

If your system is grid-tied without a battery, it will automatically shut off during an outage to protect utility workers. However, battery backup solutions can keep your lights and essential devices on — even when the grid goes down.

Snow usually slides off solar panels thanks to their dark surface and angled placement. While heavy snow can temporarily reduce output, most systems are designed to rebound quickly once the panels are exposed again. Plus, cold temperatures can improve panel efficiency.

Solar panels are low-maintenance. You might need to remove debris or rinse them off occasionally, but otherwise, they’re designed to operate independently. You can always monitor system performance to ensure everything is running smoothly.

We work with multiple lending partners to offer flexible financing plans, including options with $0 down. During your consultation, we’ll help you choose a financing solution that matches your budget and savings goals.

While DIY solar kits exist, we don’t recommend taking the project on alone. Solar installation requires electrical work, permits, and utility approval — not to mention safety risks. When you work with KC Solar, you get a professional install, high-quality components, and long-term support.
