Ready to see why solar might be the perfect fit for your home? Keep reading!
Myth 1: Solar Is Too Expensive Upfront
While the idea of installing solar panels might seem costly, the reality is that there are numerous financing options to make solar more accessible than ever. Programs like $0 down financing and one-to-one energy buyback plans make it easy for Central Iowans to start saving without breaking the bank. New Wave Roofing and Solar works with you to find the best financial solution for your needs.
Myth 2: Solar Has a Long ROI (Return on Investment)
Another misconception is that it takes decades to see a return on your solar investment. In Iowa, homeowners typically start noticing savings on their energy bills within the first year! Plus, with rising energy costs and local incentives, the ROI can be faster than you think. Solar is an investment that keeps paying off year after year.
Myth 3: Solar Is a Scam
Far from it! Solar energy is a legitimate, proven way to reduce your energy bills and carbon footprint. New Wave Roofing and Solar helps homeowners navigate rebates, tax credits, and warranties, ensuring transparency every step of the way. In Central Iowa, solar is becoming a trusted energy solution.
Myth 4: Solar Doesn’t Work in Winter or Snow
Worried that Iowa’s snowy winters will keep your panels from working? The truth is, solar panels are designed to operate efficiently even in colder temperatures. In fact, solar panels often perform better in cooler weather! Snow tends to slide off or melt quickly, especially since panels are installed at an angle. New Wave Roofing and Solar ensures your system is optimized for all seasons.
Myth 5: Solar Requires Constant Maintenance
Solar panels are surprisingly low maintenance. Most systems only need an occasional cleaning and a professional check-up every few years to stay in peak condition. At New Wave Roofing and Solar, we’re here to help keep your system running smoothly so you can enjoy hassle-free energy savings.
Myth 6: Solar Will Damage My Roof
When installed by professionals, solar panels actually protect your roof by acting as a barrier against the elements. At New Wave Roofing and Solar, we specialize in roofing, so you can trust that your installation will not only be safe but also extend the life of your roof. We’ve got Central Iowa homes covered—literally!
Myth 7: Solar Energy Is Unreliable
Solar energy systems are more reliable than ever, with advancements in technology ensuring consistent performance. In Iowa, solar panels are designed to handle everything from sunny days to storms. Plus, with battery storage options, you can save energy for when you need it most.
Myth 8: Solar Won’t Work During a Power Outage
While it’s true that grid-tied systems don’t operate during outages for safety reasons, adding battery storage can keep your home powered when the grid goes down. New Wave Roofing and Solar offers battery solutions to keep your lights on, even during Iowa’s unpredictable weather.
Myth 9: Solar Doesn’t Last Long and Panels Need to Be Replaced
Modern solar panels are built to last! Most come with warranties of 25 years or more, and many systems continue producing energy well beyond that. With minimal degradation over time, solar is a long-term solution that delivers.
Myth 10: Solar Technology Hasn’t Improved
Think solar panels are the same as they were decades ago? Think again. Today’s panels are more efficient, durable, and affordable than ever. New Wave Roofing and Solar has the latest advancements to provide Central Iowans with cutting-edge solutions.
A Word from a Valued Customer
When Nick Formaro, CEO of New Wave Roofing and Solar, asked Tod Wacht why he chose to go solar, Tod’s response was simple: “Because it was zero down and there was a one-to-one buyback.” This firsthand experience busts the myth that solar is too expensive upfront and highlights how accessible and beneficial it can be for Iowa homeowners.
