System cost depends on size, equipment, labor, and region. Incentives like tax credits can significantly reduce the final price.

Most roofs are suitable if they're structurally sound, get enough sunlight, and have minimal shading. A professional assessment will confirm suitability.

Many homeowners cut bills by 50-100%. Savings depend on system size, usage habits, and electricity rates.

Federal tax credits, local utility rebates, and renewable energy grants may be available. Check your local and national programs.

Installation takes 1-3 days, but the full process - including design, permitting, and approvals - can take several weeks.

It is not required, but batteries store energy for backup and off-grid use. Without one, excess energy is sent to the grid.

Solar PV systems are generally low maintenance, but upkeep depends on the system type and the long-term reliability of its components. Panels may require occasional cleaning to remove dirt, dust, or debris, especially in dry or dusty areas. An annual inspection is recommended to check for issues with wiring, mounting hardware, or performance drops. One of the most common maintenance concerns involves the failure of electrolytic capacitors - key components in inverters - which typically have a lifespan of 10-12 years, depending on heat, usage, and environmental conditions. Choosing high-quality inverters and components can help minimize long-term maintenance needs and improve overall system reliability.

Typically, 25-30 years. Most come with performance warranties and degrade very slowly over time.

Yes. Owned solar systems can increase resale value and appeal to buyers. Leased systems may require transfer agreements.

You can transfer ownership of the solar system if it's leased or financed. Owned systems generally enhance property value.

A billing system that credits solar owners for excess electricity sent to the grid. These credits can offset your consumption at night or on cloudy days.

A Zero-Export Device ensures no electricity is exported to the grid from your PV system. It's used where utility regulations require solar systems to operate in zero-export mode.

A system that can function both with the grid (supplying/consuming power) and independently (during outages), often using batteries for backup.

A technology in inverters that continuously adjusts electrical parameters to extract the maximum possible power from solar panels under varying sunlight conditions.

A safety mechanism that quickly shuts down power at the panel level during emergencies or for maintenance, meeting electrical code requirements.

The status LED on the Q2000 will be flashing green when working correctly. If the LED is flashing Red, this indicates an AC issue so check the AC breaker.

SparqLinq missing data may occur if the time and date was not restored correctly from an internet time server when the SparqLinq was last power cycled. This causes the data to be stored under the default date set in the SparqLinq, instead of under today's date. To check this, go to the 'Settings->Installation Information' page. At the bottom of the tab, the box titled 'Current Date and Time' will show something like '2025/05/30 12:55:44'. Look closely to see if it is correct. If it is wrong, edit to the correct time and date then press enter.

Plug the SparqLinq into an extension cord and move it to different locations (possibly outside or up on the roof) and try joining to the inverter using the 'Settings-Inverter Management' tab. It is important that the microinverter be first joined to the SparqLinq before it can start connecting to other inverters in a mesh network. Put the SparqLinq in a non-metallic weatherproof box on the roof to get it closer to the inverters. It may be necessary to use a second SparqLinq to connect the additional inverters. If the inverters have been joined to the first SparqLinq, you will need to go to its 'Settings-Inverter Management' tab and click on the 'X' in the Release column before the microinverters can be joined to a new SparqLinq. Two or more SparqLinqs can be monitored on the SparqVu website, but there is no function to allow pairing the sites together.

Try connecting to the SparqLinq Dashboard page and see if data is being logged. If so, power cycle the SparqLinq and then review the SparqVu site after about 10 mins. If there was several days of backlogged data, it may take a while for the data to be updated.

On the SparqLinq dashboard, click on the menu icon (three horizontal bars) in the top left corner of the dashboard page then select the SparqVu Token option. Enter the full email address that was used to create the SparqVu account and click "Generate Access Token" and copy the Project ID and Token values. Login to your SparqVu account and click the add a new site button, paste the project ID copied from the SparqLinq into the project ID field on SparqVu. Click the Go to Security Check button. Enter the Token copied from the SparqLinq and click Check Access Token. The SparqLinq should now be added to this SparqVu account.

Carbon intensity refers to the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions produced per unit of electricity generated. It is typically measured in grams of CO2 per kilowatt-hour (g CO2/kWh). The carbon intensity can vary depending on the energy mix used by your local electricity grid (e.g., coal, natural gas, nuclear, or renewable energy sources like wind or solar).

In the SPARQ User App, carbon intensity is used to calculate the reduction in CO2 emissions due to your solar plant. By producing your own solar energy, you reduce the need for electricity from the grid, thus lowering overall CO2 emissions. To accurately calculate this reduction, the app requires you to input the carbon intensity value for your region.

You can find the carbon intensity for your area by checking with your local electricity provider or using online resources that track carbon intensity by region.

Electricity unit price refers to the cost you pay per kilowatt-hour (kWh) of electricity consumed from the grid. This price can vary based on your electricity provider, the time of day, and the type of plan you're on (e.g., fixed, variable, or time-of-use pricing).

The electricity unit price is used to calculate the amount of money you save by generating your own solar energy. By producing solar energy, you reduce the amount of electricity you need to purchase from the grid, directly lowering your electricity bill. To provide an accurate calculation, the app requires you to input your electricity unit price.

You can find your electricity unit price on your electricity bill, usually listed as the cost per kWh. If you have multiple rates (e.g., peak and off-peak), you may input an average value.
