Customer Reviews
Our Customers Say It Best!
Larry Burnette
We looked at a number of local companies before choosing Your Home Solar. The BBB rating was a big plus when comparing reviews and ratings, but when we met Ernie we felt comfortable that this was the company to go with. Ernie and his crew know their product. They are polite and informative without being pushy. Overall, our installation was a great experience, in a timely manner and they took care of everything.
Harley Timmons
We bought a home that already had solar panels installed by pink energy and have had nothing but trouble for months trying to get anyone to come out and look at it or even give me honest answers over the phone. Finally I found Your Home Solar, they are everything they claim to be, honest, knowledgable, and friendly. What was going to take 5 months, they came the next week and had everything running the same day. I wouldn’t call anyone else for my home solar needs.
Trish Willis
I was impressed from my first interview with Ernie Bussell, the owner, through completion of the solar panel system. He went out of his way to answer my questions, turn in permits, and install the system. I strongly recommend Your Home Solar.

Emergency Power Backup
Residential solar systems, combined with battery storage, provide homeowners with a reliable emergency power source, outperforming traditional generators that rely on finite fuels. Solar solutions are low-maintenance, silent, and eco-friendly, eliminating the noise and emissions of conventional generators.
By choosing solar, homeowners gain both a green energy option and a dependable backup during power outages.
Sustainable Green Energy
Adopting residential solar is a direct move towards sustainability and a reduced carbon footprint. By harnessing the sun’s clean energy, homeowners bypass the environmental toll of fossil fuels, significantly cutting greenhouse gas emissions.
It’s more than just an eco-friendly energy choice; it’s a commitment to a greener future and a testament to Earth’s stewardship.
Increase Home Value
Installing residential solar panels can substantially boost your home’s resale value. A study by Zillow found that homes equipped with solar energy systems sold for an average of 4.1% more than their non-solar counterparts.
This uptick in value reflects not only potential energy savings for the new homeowner but also the growing demand for eco-friendly, energy-efficient homes in today’s real estate market.
Long-Term Electricity Cost Savings
Adopting solar energy offers homeowners significant long-term cost savings. While the initial investment might seem substantial, solar panels can drastically reduce or even eliminate monthly electricity bills.
Over the typical 25-30 year lifespan of a solar system, these savings accumulate, often outweighing the initial costs multiple times over. Moreover, with rising traditional energy prices, the return on a solar investment becomes even more pronounced over the years.
