Does it cost the builder anything to include solar on new homes?

Not necessarily. Solar can be included at no cost to the builder, often through the buyer's financing or purchase, which can lower the buyer's monthly energy costs, a win-win. Alternatively, builders can purchase the system directly and factor it into total project costs. We'll structure the approach that best fits your pro forma.

How does National Solar fit into our build schedule?

We align with your production timeline to protect on-time closings, with no surprises. Our field team coordinates tightly with your trades and supervisors, ensures on-site safety and install readiness, and delivers clean installs with minimal rework so solar is ready at closing, not months later.

Can you pre-wire homes for solar and battery during construction?

Yes. Pre-wiring new homes for solar and battery storage during the build process is one of the biggest advantages of partnering early. It's far more efficient than retrofitting later, keeps the install clean, and gives buyers a true move-in-ready, solar-ready home.

How does solar help our homes sell faster?

As homes and vehicles go electric, buyers increasingly want energy independence. Move-in-ready solar (with optional battery backup) helps your homes stand out, supports higher resale value, and meets growing buyer demand, letting you build smarter and sell faster.

Do you support phased developments and communities?

Yes. We provide dedicated community support for phased developments, with end-to-end project management from first plans to final inspection. You get a single local point of contact and consistent quality across every phase and every home.

What warranties do our buyers receive?

Buyers get 10-25 year product warranties from trusted manufacturers, including a 25-year warranty on REC solar panels, a 15-year battery warranty where applicable, and our 10-year workmanship warranty. We also protect existing install warranties your buyers will appreciate.
