Question 2

Does Current RS sell my information to other contractors?

Accepted Answer

No. Your information stays with Current RS. We do not sell your request to a lead marketplace, contractor network, or competing contractors.

Question 3

What does Current RS help homeowners with?

Accepted Answer

Current RS helps homeowners with residential solar installation, solar service and repair, battery backup, battery upgrades for existing systems, inverter replacement, panel removal and reinstall, roofing and solar coordination, solar-ready roofing, EV charging, monitoring issues, pest damage repairs, and related electrical upgrades.

Question 4

What areas does Current RS serve?

Accepted Answer

Current RS works with homeowners across Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Maryland. Service availability may depend on the project type, property location, utility requirements, and scheduling.

Question 5

What is a Home Energy Review?

Accepted Answer

A Home Energy Review is a practical review of the property, electric usage, roof conditions, existing equipment if any, backup power goals, and the homeowner’s priorities. The purpose is to determine whether solar, battery backup, repair, roofing coordination, EV charging, or another service path makes sense.

Question 6

Is a Home Energy Review the same as a final quote?

Accepted Answer

No. A Home Energy Review is the starting point. A final quote depends on site conditions, equipment selection, system design, utility requirements, roof conditions, financing, incentives, and any electrical or roofing work needed.

Question 7

What information should I have ready?

Accepted Answer

Helpful information includes your property address, utility company, recent electric usage or bill if available, roof age or roofing concerns, whether you already have solar, whether you want battery backup, and your preferred timeline.

Question 8

Can solar reduce my electric costs?

Accepted Answer

A properly designed solar system can help reduce the amount of grid-supplied electricity a home needs. Actual savings depend on system size, household usage, utility rates, roof conditions, available incentives, and how the home uses power.

Question 9

Will solar eliminate my electric bill?

Accepted Answer

Not always. Some homeowners may still have utility charges, delivery charges, minimum bills, seasonal usage differences, or grid-supplied electricity needs. Current RS avoids one-size-fits-all promises and reviews the property before making recommendations.

Question 10

What affects the cost of a solar system?

Accepted Answer

Cost can depend on system size, equipment, roof layout, electrical conditions, permitting, utility requirements, battery storage, financing, incentives, and whether roofing or panel removal work is needed.

Question 11

Can I add battery backup to an existing solar system?

Accepted Answer

Many existing solar systems may be candidates for battery backup or storage upgrades. Current RS can review inverter compatibility, existing equipment, battery readiness, backup power goals, and whether selected-load or larger backup options make sense.

Question 12

Will a battery power my whole home?

Accepted Answer

It depends on system design, battery size, inverter capacity, selected loads, and household usage. Some systems are designed for selected-load backup, while larger systems may support more of the home. Whole-home backup should not be assumed unless specifically designed that way.

Question 13

What is selected-load backup?

Accepted Answer

Selected-load backup means the battery system is designed to support certain important circuits, such as refrigeration, lights, communications, medical devices, or other priority loads. It is often different from backing up every circuit in the home.

Question 14

What happens during an outage?

Accepted Answer

When properly designed with battery backup, the system can automatically help keep selected loads or larger portions of the home powered while stored energy lasts. Actual performance depends on system design, battery capacity, and household usage during the outage.

Question 15

Does Current RS repair solar systems installed by other companies?

Accepted Answer

Current RS can review many existing solar systems, including systems installed by other companies. Service depends on the equipment, condition, manufacturer support, access, safety, and the nature of the issue.

Question 16

What if my solar system is not producing?

Accepted Answer

Current RS can review common issues such as inverter faults, monitoring problems, damaged wiring or connectors, failed optimizers or microinverters, roof-related issues, pest damage, and system shutdowns.

Question 17

Can Current RS replace my inverter?

Accepted Answer

Yes, where compatible replacement equipment and safe installation conditions are available. The right solution depends on the existing system design, inverter type, utility requirements, manufacturer support, and current code requirements.

Question 18

Can Current RS help with monitoring issues?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Monitoring problems can come from internet connections, inverter communication, gateway devices, app setup, equipment faults, or system configuration. Current RS can review the issue and recommend next steps.

Question 19

What if I need a roof replacement and already have solar panels?

Accepted Answer

Current RS can help coordinate panel removal, roof work, reinstall planning, and system recommissioning. Roofing and solar should be planned together so the roof and energy system are not treated as disconnected projects.

Question 20

Does Current RS remove and reinstall solar panels?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Current RS handles solar panel removal and reinstall work for roof replacement, roof repair, storm damage, service access, and related projects where the existing system can be safely removed and recommissioned.

Question 21

What is solar-ready roofing?

Accepted Answer

Solar-ready roofing means planning the roof with future or existing solar in mind. This may include roof condition, layout, penetrations, flashing, structural considerations, and timing the roofing work before solar or battery upgrades.

Question 22

Does Current RS install EV chargers?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Current RS can help homeowners review EV charger installation, electrical capacity, charger location, and related electrical upgrades where needed.

Question 23

Will I need an electrical upgrade?

Accepted Answer

Some projects may require electrical upgrades depending on the existing panel, service capacity, code requirements, charger size, battery system, solar equipment, or backup-power design. This is reviewed during the project process.

Question 24

What happens after I submit a request?

Accepted Answer

Current RS will review your request and contact you to discuss the property, service need, or Home Energy Review. Depending on the project, the next step may be a call, site review, service appointment, or system design review.

Question 25

Can I call or text instead of using the form?

Accepted Answer
