Can Solar Panels Stand Up to Hurricanes?

As we have experienced firsthand in Northwest Florida, hurricanes making landfall on the gulf coast have become increasingly intense and destructive.

Hurricanes have always been a safety concern for Floridians, but they’ve become deadlier, more frequent, and more destructive with time. The Statistical analysis bears out what we see anecdotally on the ground.

Via the Environmental Defense Fund:

“Researchers suggest that the most damaging U.S. hurricanes are three times more frequent than 100 years ago, and that the proportion of major hurricanes (Category 3 or above) in the Atlantic Ocean has doubled since 1980.”

The 2020 Atlantic hurricane season saw a record 30 named tropical storms, surpassing the previous record set in 2005. More prolific hurricane seasons are surely on the horizon.

The question, then is, could 2022 be another above-average year for hurricanes?

And what does that mean for property owners with solar panel systems?

Understandably, smart customers want to know that the solar panels they buy can survive extreme weather events. Let’s explore how Compass Solar panels perform during hurricanes and hailstorms.

Will my solar panels work during hurricanes?

One of the main benefits of solar panels is the energy independence they provide; even when the grid goes down (as it often does during tropical storms), our customers want to know that their systems will stay online.

The short answer is that your solar panels will generate power if there’s any daylight present — even under cloudy and/or rainy skies. Their output will be diminished in the absence of direct sunlight, but if there’s UV light out there, the panels will grab it and turn it into usable energy.

The other consideration is that a solar battery allows you to store your electricity for use during times of diminished sunlight, such as during a hurricane.

The importance of a high-capacity battery during hurricanes

The unique challenges posed by inclement weather, such as a tropical storm, justify investing in a top-rated battery system.

Times like these are when a high-quality battery can really come through to save the day. The Tesla Powerwall now available through Compass solar has an industry-leading storage capacity of around 10 kWh.

The Powerwall also offers a 9.6 kW continuous power output to power all your major appliances, even energy-intensive refrigerators, when off-grid compared to the industry average of 5kW.

So, while others struggle through the darkness, you’ll keep your lights on.  

Tesla’s unique Storm Watch feature prevents storm-induced power outages

The Powerwall has a slew of advantages over other solar panel batteries, but when it comes to navigating through extreme weather, its Storm Watch tops the list.

Storm Watch automatically and continuously monitors the National Weather Service to detect oncoming storms. When it does, it goes into maximum power-saving mode to ensure your battery is fully charged once the storm hits.

Will high winds damage my solar panels?

Solar panels are designed to withstand wind, even at high velocities. Our products’ sturdy engineering allows them to survive in winds as high as 140 mph (2,400 pascals).

For reference, a major category 3 hurricane, per the National Hurricane Center, has a maximum velocity of 129 mph. Most hurricanes have much lesser velocity after they make landfall, after which they tend to slow down.

Solar panels have also survived larger, rarer storms such as 2021’s Hurricane Ida that devastated New Orleans. While residents there whose homes and businesses were connected to the power grid languished for days or weeks with no power, those outfitted with solar panels rode out the storm in relative material comfort:“When Ida crippled a major Entergy electricity tower and transmission lines, it sentenced much of southeast Louisiana to a week or more of heat and darkness. But the Hazlett family’s 37 rooftop solar panels made the blackout bearable, channeling the sun’s energy down to two thin white lithium batteries that kept portions of the house powered.”

More governments in areas typically impacted by hurricanes and tropical storms, particularly in the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean, are looking to solar to keep critical infrastructure running during outages.

“Lives depend upon having medical equipment running, food storage systems need to be in place to avoid spoilage, and rescue teams need lighting…

Solar systems can… provide large amounts of power in mere hours. It can save lives with the added bonus of providing an environmentally friendly and safe alternative to gas generators.”

For example, thanks to rooftop solar panels, the Veterans Affairs medical facility in San Juan, Puerto Rico kept power during the devastating 2017 Hurricane Maria while millions of islanders remained without.

If solar power can save an enormous medical facility, it can also save your family home or business during a hurricane.

Will hail damage my solar panels?

As they are with hurricanes and the punishing winds that accompany them, solar panels are also engineered to survive hailstorms.

Depending on the size of the hail, however, it’s possible that your panels might sustain damage. Quality factors into the equation as well. Cheaper solar panels are likelier to break due to hail. As with most things in life, you get what you pay for.

The high-quality solar panels we install for our customers at Compass Solar are battle-tested against all weather conditions, including hail.

Our panels, per the industry standard, are rated to stand up to hailstone up to 25 mm (1 inch) in diameter falling from the sky at speeds of 50 miles per hour.

Climate change drives extreme weather events, solar panels are part of the solution

Climate change is responsible for the rise in all forms of extreme weather events, and hurricanes are no exception.

Here’s how fossil fuels like coal and gasoline warm the planet through carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and fuel extreme weather events:

Hurricanes are growing more powerful as global temperatures rise because these storm systems draw their energy from warm ocean water.”

The United Nations explains that solar panel systems reduce CO2 emissions and, in turn, combat climate change:

“Solar power produces no emissions during generation itself, and life-cycle assessments clearly demonstrate that it has a smaller carbon footprint from ‘cradle-to-grave’ than fossil fuels.”

In addition to providing off-grid energy during storms, owning your own independent energy-generating solar panel system also contributes to greening the planet and reducing overall dependence on carbon dioxide-spewing fossil fuels.

What Would Florida’s Vetoed Net Metering Bill Have Done?

As summer approaches and Florida weather gets even steamier, air conditioners work harder, and power bills get higher.

The sun hits harder here in the Sun Belt than in other regions. So, naturally, Florida has grown into one of the largest consumers of solar power in the US while also employing thousands of workers statewide who install and maintain solar panels.

The state has been situated for some time to surpass North Carolina as the state with the most solar power by 2024. 

Then came Florida State Bill HB-741.

What was Florida State Bill HB-741?

The bill’s advocates argued that solar energy subsidies would be unfairly passed onto fossil fuel energy customers. However, clean energy advocates argued that the current solar power subsidies serve as a boon to the Florida economy and that the bill would gut the growth of clean energy in Florida.

The Florida House of Representatives approved the bill, then the Florida Senate followed suit. Governor Ron DeSantis was expected to sign it into law. Hundreds of protesters gathered at the state capitol calling for an end to the bill. After the public outcry — to the surprise and relief of many — DeSantis vetoed the bill.

Why was this net metering bill important and how would it have affected you?

Let’s take a look.

Solar panels, especially in sunny states like Florida, frequently generate more electricity than an individual customer needs. Net metering is the practice of selling that excess solar energy back to the electric company.

Florida utility companies have credited solar customers more than $4.6 million due to net metering since 2016, according to the Florida Public Service Commission.

How would the bill affect solar power consumers?

For the most part, existing customers would remain largely unaffected for the next two decades. However, the bill would have gradually decreased benefits for customers who sell their excess energy back to their local power companies.

Power companies would pay these customers “the full avoided cost” or the minimum amount they could legally pay. The current rate is higher than the retail rate. For many customers, net metering is a crucial return on their initial investment in solar panels.

Utility companies were also expected to charge some customers additional fees and fixed charges. The bill would have not only made solar power more expensive but saved customers who invested in solar power less money for their efforts.

Who qualifies for net metering?

With the bill vetoed, existing solar panel customers and new customers can still take advantage of net metering. In order to qualify, a customer must have a solar panel system connected to the local power grid.

Any excess power generated by the solar panel that the customer does not use will be sent back to the local power company. Then, the power company will pay the solar panel owner for that energy, giving the customer a larger return on their investment in solar.

How else can solar power benefit you?

Solar panel customers are protected from power grid failures since they receive power from their panels instead of a power company. Customers who use critical medical devices or who live on the outskirts of the power grid can benefit greatly from this.

Using solar energy will also allow you to save money on power bills. You will no longer rely on power companies for energy. Current power utility customers continue seeing higher bills.

If you apply for financing, you will probably pay smaller monthly bills than you currently pay. This is especially true for customers who use a lot of energy in their homes or businesses. Check out Compass Solar financing options to see if you might qualify.

Net metering = less pollution

Selling energy back to the power company enables all customers to use less energy from fossil fuels. That means less pollution from coal and gas power plants and less waste from nuclear power.

In other words, solar power customers get some extra money in their pockets while helping to save the environment.

Additionally, solar panel advocates argue, net metering empowers customers to help create a more stable power grid for everyone.

What about tax credits?

Federal and state governments provide tax credits to customers installing new solar panels.

Customers will need to file in order to receive their tax credits.

If you file for the 2022 residential investment tax credit (ITC), you will be credited 26% of the cost of your solar system on your income taxes. The 2023 ITC will credit you 22% of the cost of your system.

In order to qualify, you would need to have placed your solar system into service before December 31, 2021 for the 2022 tax credit or before December 31, 2022 for the 2023 tax credit.

Please note: The ITC is currently set to end after 2023 so act soon.

Florida’s state government also offers some financial incentives for solar power.

Your power company may even offer additional rebates for using solar power.

Note: Some incentives may affect your federal tax credit.

Solar panels can increase your property value

As we’ve discussed in previous blog posts, solar panels can increase your property value.

Because of the growing popularity of solar panels and the rising costs of fossil fuel energy, buyers will pay more for properties with solar panel installations.

This means you can sell your property at a much higher rate. According to the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, your home’s value increases by $20 for every $1 saved in energy bills from your panels.

Several factors may affect how much value solar panels add to your home:

  • Where your home is located and the demand for solar energy  
  • The number of solar panels you have installed   
  • The size of your home
  • The quality of the solar panels

Compass Solar will install your own cost-saving solar panel system

With the continuing rise of inflation, rate increases, and rising fuel prices, now is the perfect time to take advantage of Florida’s current solar power laws. If you need help getting started with your own system, you can contact Compass Solar today to find out more. Your wallet and the planet will thank you.

Also, consider getting engaged in local politics to ensure no new legislation like the recent defeated net metering bill pops up – as the saying goes, be the change you wish to see in the world!

Compass Solar Now Offers Tesla Products

Compass Solar is proud and excited to announce that we are now fully certified to sell the Powerwall, an exclusive branded Tesla backup battery, to complement your solar power system in your home or business.

Here, we’ll introduce the Tesla Powerwall, how it works, its cost-saving benefits, and how Compass Solar can help you, as a homeowner or business owner, easily integrate the Powerwall into your existing solar power system.

We’ll also explore why — given the surge in energy prices for Northwest Florida residents since the Florida Power & Light/Gulf Power merge — now is the time to act to shave money off of your monthly energy bill.

You’ll do your part to protect the environment with a high-powered solar panel system from Compass Solar.

What is the Tesla Powerwall and what are its standout features?

Tesla’s Powerwall is a rechargeable battery that stores and distributes energy gathered from your solar panel system for maximum energy usage efficiency and constant energy on demand.

Here are the standout features of the Tesla Powerwall that should inform your decision

  • 13.5 kWh storage capacity. This storage capacity is superior to the industry average of around 10 kWh and is generally enough to power the typical family home for half of a day.
  • Up to 9.6 kW continuous power output (when off-grid). That means that when the power goes out – for example, due to a hurricane or other natural disaster – the Powerwall has the capacity to power appliances like your refrigerator and potentially bigger ones like an air conditioning unit. For the purposes of comparison, most solar power batteries have a significantly lower continuous power output rating at 5 kW.
  • Multiple, versatile, and easily adjustable operating mode options (Solar Self-Consumption, Backup Only, and Time-Based Control Mode. Backup Reserve, Self-Powered, Time-Based Control, Self-Consumption Only, Preconditioning). Depending on the environmental conditions and your current power usage, you can toggle between various modes to keep your home powered day and night and save maximally on your power bill.
  • Excellent mobile app for monitoring energy usage and flow in your property digitally in real-time. Use your Tesla account credentials to download and access the Tesla mobile application.
  • The Storm Watch feature. The Powerwall monitors National Weather Service messages and automatically powers the battery fully when an alert for extreme weather is issued – so you don’t need to scramble to adjust your settings when a hurricane is approaching.
  • Performs even in low temperatures with the “preconditioning” setting to preheat the cells before firing up.
  • Lithium battery cells are produced in the United States at the Gigafactory Tesla facility in Nevada.

Competitive pricing compared to other AC-coupled battery systems.

Solid 10-year Tesla warranty

Tesla Powerwall is inverter agnostic (and why that’s a big benefit for homeowners)

One of the biggest benefits to property owners who already have a solar power system installed in their home or business is that Tesla’s Powerwall is inverter agnostic – meaning that, because it is coupled with AC, it can be connected to any inverter without the need for extra materials.

For total protection during power outages, homeowners should install one Powerwall unit for each 7.6 kW AC of solar in the backup circuit.

You don’t need to get a new solar panel system or re-install any of the major component parts to integrate a Tesla Powerwall into your home solar panel system.

Our experts at Solar Compass are trained in the smooth installment of Tesla backup batteries, so you don’t need to worry about any extra technological hassles.

Power bills for Northwest Floridians surge after FLP/Gulf Power merger

If you live in Northwest Florida, you’ve surely noticed a surge in your monthly energy bills.

Florida Power & Light purchased Gulf Power in 2019 and then merged the two into a unified electrical utility at the start of  2022:

“A new year means new changes when it comes to how residents of Northwest Florida will handle their power bills. On January 1st, Gulf Power is transitioning to Florida Power and Light. This means that all communication and customer bills will now be coming from FPL.”

Despite initial promises that the merge would result in “lower costs for customers,” the opposite has happened: power bills for Northwest Floridians have surged:

“January was the first month former Gulf Power customers in the Panhandle made payments to FPL after the companies merged last year. It also was the first month a rate increase took hold for FPL customers… [Mary] Brewster, who has lived in DeFuniak Springs for four years, said her bill went from $184 in December to $291 in January. Her February bill is projected to be $394.”

That’s a more than doubling in rates in just a few short months!

The surge in energy costs will likely continue. Without any recourse or daylight at the end of the tunnel, the only viable option for Northwest Floridians to ensure that there is to take their energy needs into their own hands.

A solar panel system from Compass Solar lends citizens full independence from the grid – so no matter how high FLP hikes the rates, you will continue to reap inexpensive and boundless energy from the Earth’s one true renewable resource.

Can you go off-grid in Florida?

As we’ve explored in previous blog posts, going off-grid in Florida is fully feasible and totally legal – with the rare exception of a handful of cities and counties that require residents within their jurisdictions to jack into the grid.

Here are some key points to consider:

  •  Rural areas outside of incorporated cities are generally friendlier to off-grid living than urban areas.
  • You might be required to stay connected, depending on where you live, to the grid, but that doesn’t mean you have to use the public utilities for your power. Solar power systems in both residential and commercial purposes are fully legal in Florida.
  • Before you install a solar panel system, local law may require that you jump through some regulatory hoops before you can install your system. Compass Solar is available to advise customers on the relevant regulations in their particular jurisdictions.

Contact Compass Solar

We’re always available to help our Northwest Florida neighbors with any and all questions related to Earth-friendly, money-saving solar panels and the various components that make them work.

Contact Compass Solar for more details on the Tesla Powerwall system and how to get your own installed in your home or business. If you’ve been considering getting a solar backup battery from a trusted provider, there has never been a better time than now. 

Will the Government Subsidize My Solar Panels?

As gas and oil prices continue surging and political instability keeps growing around the world, you may be wondering what you can do for the planet and how you might invest in your own green future

Maybe you’ve considered cutting down your reliance on fossil fuels.

Perhaps you’ve been interested in getting your own solar panels for your home or business but — given the fact that a solar panel system is a significant financial investment – you might want to know a little more before you take the plunge.

The good news for Florida residents is that the government will subsidize part of your system. Let’s find out how the government will help you pay for new solar panels.

What are the benefits of solar panels?

We’ve previously explored how a Compass Solar panel system can save you money as a long-term investment, protect you from power outages, and help the environment by tapping Earth’s one true renewable resource.

If you use solar energy, you no longer pay expensive energy bills to your power company, saving you money in the long run. In fact, you can often sell the excess power you harness from the sun back to the utility company.

In the short term, if you apply for financing, you’ll likely save money monthly, particularly if your home requires high energy needs.

You will also no longer be affected by power outages from your power company, such as during hurricanes and other disasters.

This can be particularly helpful for those with critical medical devices or homes on the outskirts of the power grid.

You’ll also be helping the planet because solar panels do not produce pollution like coal or gas power or waste like nuclear power.

How much do solar panels cost?

The cost of solar panels depends on several factors:

·         How much electricity do you regularly consume?

·         How much sun reaches your roof during the day?

·         What is the size and shape of your roof?

More direct sunlight and/or less energy demand may mean that your home or business requires fewer solar panels; conversely, more energy consumption may require more solar panels.

Likewise, depending on the design of your roof, your home may require additional equipment installation.

Other factors may also affect the size of your solar panel system.

Will the government help pay for my solar panels?

Yes, the government can help you pay for solar panels.

To qualify for government help, you will need to file for a tax credit.

Federal tax credits for solar panels will likely provide you with the biggest available financial incentive.

If you file for the 2022 residential investment tax credit (ITC), you will be credited 26% of the cost of your solar system on your income taxes. The 2023 ITC will credit you 22% of the cost of your system.

In order to qualify, you would need to have placed your solar system into service before December 31, 2021 for the 2022 tax credit or before December 31, 2022 for the 2023 tax credit.

Please note: The ITC is currently set to end after 2023 so act soon.

Florida’s state government also offers some incentives for solar power.

Your power company may even offer rebates for using solar power.

Note: Some incentives may affect your federal tax credit.

How do I get started saving money with solar panels?

To learn more about getting a system of your own, contact Compass Solar today. We can guide you through the process of installation and available financing options. You can get started building a better future for yourself and the planet.

How Does the Compass Solar 0% Financing Program Work?

Solar panels, which provide clean energy for decades, are an excellent long-term investment that generate substantial returns (ROI) over time.

The reality, though, is that solar panels do come with an extensive up-front price tag for the raw materials and installation. The savings, in contrast, accrue slowly over years of use, so many property owners are understandably concerned with the initial sum of money they must put into their systems.

That’s where Compass Solar’s 0% down policy comes into play. Here, we’ll discuss how our no-money-down financing option works, why you should consider it, and how to get started.

How Does the 0% Down Compass Solar Program Work?

For our customers who have good credit scores, we offer loan programs to immediately install solar panel systems without absolutely no money required upfront.

In addition to initiating installation with no money down, we also offer extremely low interest rates in the range of 0-0.49% APR – so you won’t pay out of the nose on interest like you might with loans for cars or houses.

For example, contrast our solar panels’ 0-0.49% APR with the 4.09% industry average APR for 30-year fixed home mortgages, and you’ll see how much financial sense a low-interest, 0% down solar panel investment makes.

What Ongoing Financial Benefits Do Solar Panels Provide? 

Solar panels aren’t just long-term investments that add value to your property; you begin to reap their financial benefits immediately after successful installation.

Once your solar system is up and running, your monthly payments will pay for themselves (and then some) with 70% average reductions in monthly energy costs. You will likely, in many circumstances, in fact, make money by selling your unused excess energy back to the electrical grid if you’re hooked in.  

To learn more about how to finance your solar panels for 0% down and the benefits of our programs, have a look at our guides for homeowners and business owners, respectively:

Why Invest in Solar Panels With Compass Solar With 0% Down Financing?

As we briefly mentioned earlier, solar panel systems are ideal investment vehicles. Here’s why:

  • Solar panels consistently outperform other investment vehicles, including stock market investments, with none of the associated risks (Compass Solar panel systems are protected by warranty). Check out our breakdown of how solar systems compare to other popular investments.
  • Both the state of Florida and the federal government offer generous tax incentive programs to property owners who install solar panel systems.
  • The cost savings associated with solar panels will likely continue to increase along with rising energy costs for more conventional sources like natural gas and electricity.

What Is the State of Solar in 2022?

We’ve all been impacted, in one way or another, by the economic setbacks of the past two years, caused by the supply line collapse following lockdowns related to COVID-19 and other associated challenges.

Now, the current crisis in Ukraine threatens the global fossil fuel supply, further destabilizing the world economy and fueling a serious rise in costs for all consumer goods, from medicine to food to clothes. The solar power industry, on the other hand, has never done better. 2022 is shaping up to be another blockbuster year for Earth’s one true renewable energy source.

Here are the exciting developments in the world of solar power that you can expect in the upcoming year.

Why Does Solar Power Continue to Outperform Other Energy Sources?

There are multiple reasons to explain the solar boom that we’ve seen in the last several years. Here is just a handful:

·       Increasing social awareness of the existential threat that unchecked carbon emissions pose to life on Earth

·       The steady supply of free sunlight (especially in sunny Florida!) is immune to global catastrophes such as stock market collapses, far-off natural disasters, war, etc.

·       Generous tax incentive programs for business people and homeowners who install solar panel systems in their homes (learn more about solar power tax incentives available to Floridians)

·       Government policy intervention in the US and elsewhere to disincentive fossil fuel usage in favor of renewable energy

·       Public pressure on private-sector businesses to adopt green energy policies

·       Massive global investment in research and development for more efficient, more affordable solar power systems

·       Solar panel systems are excellent investments that outperform other traditional investments like stocks

The result of this favorable mix of conditions is a booming industry.

Via Investopedia:

“The cost of solar power has plummeted in recent years, and in many places it is even cheaper than coal or other fossil fuels. Thanks to generous tax credits and subsidies, solar installations are now increasing worldwide.”

How is Solar Energy Projected to Perform in 2022?

Thus far, solar power has fared relatively favorably compared to the other industries that have suffered wide-ranging impacts wrought on the economy and supply line collapse related mainly to COVID-19.

Speaking at the Annual State of the Energy Industry Forum in January of this year, President and CEO of the American Clean Power Association (ACPA) Heather Zicha offered a hopeful forecast for solar power in the next year:

“Last year we installed more… solar and battery storage than any year in history… But what’s clear is, as important as 2021 was, 2022 will be the year that determines whether we accelerate progress or whether we plateau.”

The Build Back Better Snag

The solar industry does face particular challenges. For example, the large piece of Congressional legislation proposed in 2021, dubbed the “Build Back Better” plan, includes the continuation and expansion of federal solar power tax credits:

“The Build Back Better plan will increase the investment tax credit (ITC)–a subsidy for solar installations–from its current 26 percent rate to 30 percent, meaning more savings for residents who install solar panels. It will also ensure the ITC stays in place for at least 10 years.”

It has so far stalled in Congress, despite large-scale efforts to get it passed by environmental activists and renewable energy experts, among other lobbying groups. Under the current ITC plan, federal subsidies are scheduled to decline over the coming years, which could impact those property owners across the country who depend on them:

While full passage of the Build Back Better legislation is unlikely to come to fruition in the next year, President Biden did give support in a January speech to carving out the solar tax credit provision and passing that as a stand-alone bill.

We will follow the tax credit issue closely and keep our customers updated on the latest developments.

How World Developments Are Projected to Impact the Fossil Fuel Industry in the Near Future

To better understand how solar power is ideally situated to win the future, juxtapose the optimistic economic outlook for solar power discussed earlier with the fossil fuel industry, which was already fledgling before 2022, and is now further threatened by the current war in Eastern Europe.

The World Economic Forum explains the systemic impact of soaring oil and gas prices:

“It is hard to predict which way the situation and markets will go, however it seems that we are poised for a period of high energy prices that are driven by war and combined with tight market fundamentals.

High prices are being passed over to consumers at the pump, in their gas, heating and electricity bills. And high energy prices contribute to increased cost of virtually all goods and services further fuelling inflation expectations.”

Even though the conflict is only weeks old, policymakers worldwide have already fast-tracked and prioritized the already-rapid transition to green energy:

“Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has prompted… governments… to make a frantic reappraisal of their energy supplies – one that arguably should have come much sooner. The first outcome has been a fresh resolve in some countries… to push for more renewable energy generation and energy efficiency to cut dependence on fossil fuels.”

The sharp rise in gas prices, the negative effects of which will reverberate throughout every sector of the economy given the importance of energy to the overall market, underscores more brightly than ever the need to transition away from carbon-emitting fossil fuels and toward renewable energy sources.

Solar power is the undisputed king of renewable energy, being the one true renewable energy source currently known to man.
