Solar Service

Home Solar Panel

Every home is different, your roof, your usage, your shade, your utility. TruLine Solar designs home solar systems around the specifics of your property, not a one size fits all template.

Custom Home Solar Systems

A home solar system isn’t a product you pick off a shelf, it’s a design problem. Your roof orientation, pitch, shading, electrical service, and usage all shape the right answer. TruLine Solar’s design process starts with your actual utility bills and a satellite assisted site survey, and delivers a system engineered to hit your savings target.

What a TruLine Home Solar Project Looks Like

  1. Consultation, we review 12 months of utility bills and your goals.
  2. Design, our engineering team produces a shade adjusted system layout and production model.
  3. Proposal, we present the plan, equipment choices, financing options, and expected savings.
  4. Permits & approvals, we handle your city permit and utility interconnection application.
  5. Installation, typically 1 to 2 days for a standard residential system.
  6. Inspection & activation, your city inspects, your utility installs a bidirectional meter, and we flip the switch.
  7. Monitoring, you get a live production dashboard and we watch for anomalies.

Premium Equipment Only

We install Tier 1 panels from manufacturers with 25 year performance warranties, paired with your choice of string inverters or microinverters based on your roof’s shading profile. We don’t chase the lowest-bid equipment, we install what we’d put on our own homes.

What’s Not Included (and Why That’s a Good Thing)

  • No pressure sales. If solar isn’t a good financial fit for your home, we’ll tell you.
  • Experienced installation partners. TruLine works with experienced installation professionals and vetted partners to manage each project from design and permitting through installation and activation.
  • No hidden fees. Your proposal is your price.

Home Solar Panel, Frequently Asked Questions

How many solar panels do I need for my home?
The average American home uses about 10,600 kWh/year, which requires a 6 to 10 kW system, typically 15 to 25 panels depending on wattage. We size your system based on 12 months of your actual utility bills, your roof's sun exposure, and your future plans (EVs, pool heaters, additions).
Will solar panels damage my roof?
Properly installed panels protect the roof underneath them from UV, hail, and debris. We use flashing-based mounts with manufacturer-approved sealants. If your roof is within 5 years of replacement, we recommend replacing it before or during install to avoid a costly removal later.
What happens when it's cloudy or at night?
Panels produce less on cloudy days but still generate power, typically 10 to 25% of rated output. At night, your home pulls from either the grid (net metering credits you for production sent during the day) or a battery if installed.
