Thinking about going solar or installing an EV charger at home? You're not alone—and you're definitely not the first to wonder if it’s really worth it. At SolaraGenesis Energy, we hear the same important questions from California homeowners all the time. Here are six of the most common ones—with straightforward answers to help you make a confident decision.
1. Will solar panels really save me money?
Yes! Most homeowners see significant savings over time—especially as electricity rates continue to rise. With solar, you’re generating your own power, so you rely less on the utility company. Many of our clients reduce their monthly energy bills by 50% or more.

2. What if my roof isn’t ideal for solar?
Even if your roof isn’t perfect (too shaded, too small, or facing the wrong direction), we may still be able to install panels or offer creative solutions like ground mounts or panel optimizers. We evaluate every home individually to find the best setup.
🏡 Not sure if your roof qualifies? Our team can assess it quickly and for free.
3. How much does it cost to install a home EV charger?
A Level 2 EV charger (the kind that gives you a full charge overnight) typically costs between $500 and $2,000, depending on the model and electrical setup in your home. The good news: federal tax credits and some local utility incentives can help lower that cost.
🔌 Need help choosing the right charger? We install and recommend EV solutions that work seamlessly with solar systems.
4. Can I charge my electric vehicle with solar energy?
Absolutely. Pairing solar panels with a home EV charger is one of the smartest moves you can make—it allows you to drive on sunshine! No more worrying about rising gas prices or grid electricity costs.
🌞 Solar + EV charging is the perfect combo for energy-conscious drivers.
5. What’s the maintenance like for solar panels?
Surprisingly low. Solar panels have no moving parts, and most systems just need an occasional rinse to stay efficient. We monitor your system performance and alert you if any issues come up.
🧼 Rain often does the cleaning for you—but we’ve got your back if service is ever needed.
6. Is it hard to get started with solar or EV charging?
