Is the verdict in on whether or not you should clean them? I recently read a study that was done, were they suggested not cleaning them because there’s more risk than gain. The study tested many solar panels at different angles, and they found the loss was fairly minuscule. I’m wondering if you have any thoughts on the risk and reward of doing it?

Good question. We go into more detail in our article accompanying this video. You can find it here: iconicnrg.com/blog/remove-snow-solar-panels/

Can You use CaCl? Calciul clorhide
@iconic_energy6 ай бұрын
@pi1325 It's not a good idea idea to put calcium chloride (ice melt) on your solar panels.

It would be more helpful to show on a sunny day. Clearly if you got the snow to actually shed the remainder melts off very quickly in the sun. If nothing else the next day will produce at a much higher capacity.
@iconic_energy6 ай бұрын
@cooldealmedia2865 Correct. If you lessen the snow on the panels is helps it melt faster as soon as the sun comes out, and then you'll be producing more power.

Is the snow peeler safe for the panel surfaces? Or will it scratch them?
@iconic_energy8 ай бұрын
The snow peeler we demonstrated has a hard nylon bottom that will be safe for the solar panels as long as it's not used aggressively. Thanks for the question @donbreda!

We are retired and pay about $8K in federal taxes on our pensions. When I file I usually get back about $500 leaving $7500 on the table. My solar system PM estimated my ITC at $14,000. So I said NP, we will take a distribution from our IRA and have 22% in federal taxes withheld generating another $8000 in taxes. So now we'd have given Uncle Sam $15,500. So based on those numbers would I get the full ITC as a check?

All good but none of the solar companies tell you that if you're retired and don't have tax liability, you can't take advantage of this credit. I got solar because I wanted but It would've been nice to get about 51% off my $67,000 system.

You did not explain what happen to John's liability or credit of $7544 since now he over paid or credit? Is this mean John gets a refund in a form of a check or direct deposit payment from the IRS? Since John already paid fed taxes of $17,836 and John's fed credit of $10,292?
@iconic_energy Жыл бұрын
Yes, John did receive a check for the $10,292

25 year finance is better than paying upfront. Because you should have no electric bill. Lol. You save money immediately. And the tax credit got us 15,000 credit. And got 6,000 cash deposit to our bank.

Well we did our taxes and I was told it was a rebate and it was 15 grand....I thought we only get a refund if we end up owing the IRS?
@iconic_energy Жыл бұрын
If you paid $15,000 in Federal taxes, you should've received a refund for $15,00.00. Where the confusion comes in is if you have not paid any federal tax, it cannot cause you to get money back that you have not paid to the federal government. Just to remind you, you don't have to use the whole amount all at once. The tax credit is good for at least 5 years. Please always consult an accountant. If you do have any questions, please feel free to email me at [email protected]
