## Services

### Solar Energy
CellSun installs premium Maxeon solar panels with white-glove service, clean installation standards, and long-term reliability. Connecticut homeowners typically see 50-70% reduction in electricity bills. Solar homes sell for approximately 4.1% more than comparable non-solar homes. Most systems pay for themselves within 6-8 years.

### Roofing
Expert roof installations, repairs, and replacements built to protect homes through every New England season -- and optimized for solar. CellSun installs asphalt shingles (20-30 year lifespan), architectural shingles (30-50 years), metal roofing (40-70 years), and flat/low-slope systems (20-30 years). Certified installers for GAF, CertainTeed, and Owens Corning. Most residential roofs completed in 1-3 days.

### HVAC & Heat Pumps
KEEN heat pump systems for year-round comfort including air conditioning, heating systems, mini-splits, ducted systems, and indoor air quality solutions. Modern HVAC systems use 30-50% less energy than units from 10+ years ago. Heat pumps paired with solar panels can virtually eliminate heating and cooling costs.

### Solar Panel Removal & Reinstallation (R&R)
For homeowners needing a new roof with existing solar panels, CellSun safely removes, stores, and reinstalls solar systems. Total system downtime is 72-96 hours with a 100% performance guarantee. The 5-step process covers assessment, safe shutdown, professional removal, complete roof replacement, and reinstallation with testing.

### Orphan Solar Rescue
30% of solar installers from 2010-2015 have closed, leaving homeowners without support. CellSun adopts abandoned solar systems, performing diagnostics, code compliance updates, restoration, certification, and ongoing support. Basic assessment: $200-$400. Comprehensive restoration: $2,000-$8,000.

### Energy Solutions
Whole-home electrification upgrades, battery storage, EV chargers, and smart energy management to maximize efficiency and savings.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How much maintenance do solar panels require?**
Very little. Solar panels are self-cleaning with rainfall and have no moving parts. Annual visual inspection and occasional cleaning is recommended. Most systems produce power for 25-35 years.

**What happens during a power outage?**
Grid-tied solar systems automatically shut off during outages for safety. Battery storage systems can keep essential circuits running during blackouts.

**How long does solar installation take?**
1-3 days of on-site work. Full process from consultation to activation: 2-3 months (including permits, utility approvals, inspections).

**Should I buy or lease solar panels?**
CellSun strongly recommends purchasing. Owned systems provide the best ROI, increase home value, and qualify for all tax credits and incentives.

**What if my roof needs replacement before solar?**
If your roof has less than 10 years of life remaining, replace it first. CellSun offers bundled roofing and solar packages.

**Does roof orientation matter?**
South-facing is ideal, but east and west-facing roofs also work well. North-facing is generally not recommended.
