If your roof is less than 15 years old and gets at least 4 hours of direct sunlight, it's almost certainly a good candidate. We use satellite imagery and on-site surveys to model your Elyria roof's specific production potential before recommending a system size.

### What's the lifespan of a solar battery in Ohio?

Modern lithium-ion batteries like the Tesla Powerwall and Enphase IQ are warranted for 10 years and typically last 12-15 years.

We help Elyria homeowners plan for eventual replacement as part of their long-term energy strategy.
