How to Choose the Right Solar Company


With dozens of solar companies out there, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. Many promise the lowest rates, fastest installs or biggest savings, but not every provider is built the same. Choosing the right company really comes down to your needs, and what you look for in a service company. By asking the questions below, you'll be sure to find the company that is best suited for you.


1. Do they offer a wide range of loan options like Ultra Energy, with some of the lowest APRs in the nation and ownership from day one?


2. Do they provide $0-down installation with flexible financing and handle all permitting and paperwork for you?


3. Can they design fully customized systems tailored to your roof, energy needs and goals with the forethought of your future plans?


4. Do they offer fast service response times and industry-leading warranties like Ultra Energy?


5. Do they have a strong reputation with hundreds of five-star reviews and a track record of customer care?


If your answer isn’t “yes” to each of the above, it may be best to consider your options.


The Ultra Energy Process: What to Expect


Choosing the right company can save you from many possible headaches. If you've chosen Ultra Energy, here’s what the process looks like:


1. Fill out our quick form at the bottom of the Get Started page.


2. We’ll reach out to assess your energy goals and answer any questions you have.


3. We’ll schedule a free consultation where you’ll receive a detailed system design, a custom financial analysis and a clear breakdown of available incentives including the 30% federal tax credit, ending soon.


4. After approval, we’ll coordinate your install through one of our trusted vetted installation partners. We handle all permitting, paperwork and coordination so you don’t have to lift a finger.


5. Once installed, your system is inspected and activated by your local utility provider. From there, you’ll start seeing the benefits of solar immediately.


After Installation: Ongoing Support


After your system is turned on, you’ll have access to performance monitoring apps like SolarEdge and in many cases smart home tools such as Google Nest.


Your system will require little maintenance aside from the occasional cleaning to ensure optimal output. If any issues arise, our service team is here to help with most support tickets resolved within 48 hours.


Warranties and Peace of Mind


We stand behind every system we help bring to life. Your solar install comes with:


  • 10-Year Workmanship and Installation Warranty


  • 10-Year Roofing Penetration Warranty


  • 30-Year Power Output Warranty (Peimar)


  • 25-Year Optimizer Warranty (SolarEdge)


Additional product warranties may apply depending on your system setup. We’ll walk you through all coverage during your consultation.


Thinking About Moving or Removing Panels?


Moving? Your warranty transfers to the new homeowner.

Removing panels? We’ll coordinate with your installer to restore your roof’s underlayment and maintain your 10-year roofing protection.

Ending soon: Don’t Miss the 30% Federal Tax Credit

The federal solar tax credit (ITC) currently allows homeowners to deduct 30% of the total cost of a solar system from their federal taxes: a major savings opportunity.


But this incentive won’t last forever. It’s set to expire at the end of 2025 for residential systems unless extended by new legislation.


By starting your solar project now, you can lock in this benefit before it’s gone. Ultra Energy walks you through the eligibility requirements and ensures you get the most out of the credit.
