How To Go Solar: A Simple and Free Guide from Ultra Energy

The simple and free guide to break down going solar step by step.

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.

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.
