Solar power is becoming more popular with each passing day, and this has led to the incredible proliferation of solar contractors. These contractors often promise to come out to your home and install a solar power system that can take you off the municipal power grid quickly and easily, but can they always fulfill those promises, and what makes Barrett Solar so different?

We’re going to dive into what exactly makes Barrett so different from other solar contractors, as well as some ways that they may be similar. We’ll also cover what it’s like to work with Barrett on a project, and what you can expect from our service and dedication. In the end, we’ll point you toward some local resources for your solar project.

What Sets Barrett Solar Apart from Other Solar Contractors?

While you could ask our last 10 clients what sets us apart from other contractors, you’d likely get 30 different answers. Since we try to address the needs of each homeowner, each one might find a few different ways that we were able to provide them with better or more attentive service than another contractor. However, these are three of the most significant ways that we try to make ourselves stand out from the competition.

Project Management

One of the most functionally significant ways that we set ourselves apart from others in this industry is that we pride ourselves on leading project management practices. Our lead project manager has been in charge of multi-million dollar renewable energy projects and makes it a point to handle each customer’s project with the same skill and deftness that he would a huge wind farm operation.

This project management experience, in the simplest terms, just leads to better results. Each solar panel project is fully evaluated by the project manager so that the perfect configuration, quantity of materials, and installation crew personnel are properly allocated to the job to ensure it’s done quickly and to the highest standards. You can fully expect a detailed estimate and project breakdown in the contract so that you know exactly how the job will be affected by things like weather or other extenuating circumstances.

We’re Midwest Locals

Another big reason that we are driven to take care of the homeowners in the areas we service, is because that’s where we’re from and where we live. Our business is family-owned, and we employ people from the areas we service. We work hard to make sure that our neighbors can give good recommendations for us when people ask. We didn’t get into this business to take the money and disappear, we got into it to help other people in our communities become more energy independent than they may have ever dreamed possible.

We Run Efficiently

Barrett isn’t built on excess, it’s built on helping local homeowners find the right solar solution for their home’s needs. This means we’ll give you a detailed estimate for your job, and if we can get it done to our exacting standards for less, that’s savings back in your pocket, no profit in ours.

Do solar panels require maintenance?

Solar panel systems are made of durable tempered glass and require little to no maintenance for the 25 to 35 years that they will generate power. In most cases, you don’t even need to clean your solar panels. You can let the rain or snow take care of that for you. If something does happen, you will have manufacturer warranties on all equipment installed by Barrett Solar.

What Solar rebates and incentives are available In Kansas?

Solar rebates and incentives vary depending on where you live. In Kansas the largest incentive available is the 26% federal investment tax credit (ITC) which allows you to deduct 26% of the cost of your solar energy system from your taxes. Certain municipalities and utilities also offer cash rebates and other incentives. If you are a business in a rural area or a farmer, the USDA offers grants as well.

What Solar rebates and incentives are available In Missouri?

Solar rebates and incentives vary depending on where you live. In Missouri the largest incentive available is the 26% federal investment tax credit (ITC) which allows you to deduct 26% of the cost of your solar energy system from your taxes. Certain municipalities and utilities also offer cash rebates and other incentives. Evergy in Missouri, Columbia power and Ameren have notable rebates available. If you are a business owner in a rural area or a farmer, the USDA offers grants as well.

What are my solar financing options?

Barrett Solar offers two options to finance your solar panel system. You can purchase your system in cash or take advantage of our zero down, low APR financing options. We have a lot of different options to choose from. 

What happens if my solar panels are damaged with hail or by a large storm?

Generally it takes very large hail or a major storm to damage your solar panel system. After you go solar you will want to make sure your homeowners insurance policy has enough coverage to replace any of your panels that may be damaged in a heavy storm.

How much do solar panels cost?

The cost of a solar panel system will depend on many factors, including the size of the system, the equipment, and the financing method. A solar panel system should be viewed as a major home upgrade, and because every home is different it is never good to base an idea of what something should cost off a ballpark figure found on the internet. Barrett Solar offers completely free no obligation solar proposals, and in most cases we can give you an accurate quote with just your historical energy usage data.
