Preliminary planning estimate only. It is not a quote, production guarantee, or incentive approval. Other project-specific adders, discounts, incentives, and electrical work are not included.

See calculator assumptions

The estimate uses a 1,150 kWh/kW Wisconsin production factor, selected orientation and sun exposure, a $3.55/W base price, and the current small/large-system adjustment around 5 kW. When sun exposure is 85% or greater, a Focus on Energy incentive of $600 per system kW becomes available, capped at $2,400. It affects final cost, 30-year net savings, ROI, and payback only when “Apply incentive to estimated balance” is selected. Long-term savings use a $0.18/kWh starting electric rate and 3.5% annual utility-rate inflation, capped at the home's entered annual usage.

Questions worth asking

Clear answers before you commit.

A good solar decision should hold up under questions about cost, production, backup power, scheduling, and long-term service.

Visit the Full FAQ
How do I know whether solar is a good fit for my property?

We review your electricity use, available roof or ground space, orientation, shade, electrical equipment, utility rules, and financial goals. The answer may be a conventional array, a different layout, a smaller project, or an honest recommendation to wait.

Will solar keep my home powered during an outage?

A standard grid-connected solar system shuts down during an outage for utility-worker safety. Battery backup can keep selected circuits—or, when properly designed, a larger portion of the home—powered within the system’s energy and output limits.

Can a battery be added to an existing solar system?

Often, yes. The best approach depends on the existing inverter, electrical service, available installation space, utility requirements, and which loads you want to protect. We model those tradeoffs before recommending equipment.

Who handles permits, utility applications, and inspections?

Full Spectrum Solar coordinates project engineering, permitting, utility interconnection, scheduling, installation, inspection, and permission to operate. Your project manager keeps those handoffs organized and communicates what comes next.

Do you service solar systems installed by other companies?

Our service department evaluates maintenance, repair, troubleshooting, and monitoring issues for existing systems. Equipment age, manufacturer support, and replacement-part availability may affect the practical repair path.

Can I install EV charging or a heat pump water heater without solar?

Yes. These upgrades can be evaluated as stand-alone projects or coordinated with solar, battery backup, and electrical-service planning.
