Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a roof review before installing solar?

Yes. A roof readiness review helps determine whether your roof is in good condition before solar panels are installed.

Does SunSent serve Prairie Village, KS?

Yes. SunSent serves Prairie Village, KS and nearby Johnson County communities.

Prairie Village homes were built mostly in the late 1940s and 1950s. Will I need to upgrade my electrical panel before adding solar?

Very likely yes. Prairie Village was one of the first planned suburban communities in the KC metro — most homes were built between 1948 and 1968, and the electrical service from that era was typically 60-amp or 100-amp. Modern solar installations require a 200-amp panel to safely accommodate the interconnection, so a panel upgrade is a common prerequisite on Prairie Village projects. Some homes in the neighborhood also have original Federal Pacific Stab-Lok or Zinsco panels, which have documented safety issues and need replacing before solar can be interconnected regardless of amperage. We assess the electrical panel at every free consultation and give you the full picture upfront before any commitment.

What areas near Prairie Village, KS do you serve?

SunSent can support homeowners in Prairie Village, Leawood, Mission, Overland Park, and nearby Johnson County communities.

Can solar be installed on an older roof?

It depends on the roof condition. If the roof is near the end of its life, roofing work may be recommended before solar installation.

Do you offer storm damage roof reviews?

Yes. SunSent can review signs of storm-related roof damage before planning a solar project.

Do you offer backup power solutions?

Yes. SunSent can help homeowners explore backup power options for added energy security.

My Prairie Village roof is original to the house — does that mean I should replace it before going solar?

If your roof is from the original construction era (1950s–1960s), it has certainly been replaced at least once, but the current layer may still be 15–20 years old. Prairie Village homes with complex rooflines — dormers, low-pitch sections, rear additions — often have more wear on certain sections than others. Installing solar on a roof that will need replacement within five to seven years means paying to remove and reinstall the system, which adds significant cost. We inspect the remaining roof life as part of every consultation. If the numbers favor a combined roof-and-solar project, we present that option. If the roof is fine, we say so and proceed with solar directly.

I had solar panels installed on my home a few years ago by SunSent Solar. I wasn't sure if it was the right choice for me and it was a big leap and not all that inexpensive. Fortunately it was the right decision as the project has greatly reduced my expense from the electric company. I now pay for electricity for just 3 or 4 months during the winter and even those bills are much less that what I had before. I am saving thousands each year and with electricity prices continuing to rise the gear will pay for itself sooner than I thought possible. I am so glad I had the solar installed and highly recommend SunSent Solar for providing the same benefit for others. The best financial move I ever made.

I think that we finally have Ameren satisfied with all the disconnects and meter. As usual, John did a great job with the final installation today.

I've been a Sunsent (Solar) customer for several years, and recently my system encountered an issue. The technician they sent out, Jon, came out diagnosed and addressed the issue promptly. He even offered to address an issue outside of the scope of his work (but within the scope of the company). If you get Jon as a technician, you should relax because you're in good hands!

Nick & Jon were excellent. In 90* heat after a 5 hour drive to get here, they remained professional, determined, and focused on getting everything working properly. I totally appreciate their dedication and commitment. Highly recommend them and grateful for their hard work.

Jordan and the team did a great job at installing our panels back in October. We were lucky enough to get the tax credit from the federal government last year as well for the install. With a pool and air-conditioner running the entire month plus June being a hot one our electric bill was only $41 put that into contrast at the same time as last year when it was $360. Months of May, April, and March our bill was $0 and even got a credit for some months. With not having any other electric company besides AMEREN you really have two choices... continue to pay what they bill you or produce your own power. Yes there is a quite an upfront cost but if you plan on staying in your house for 10 years it will come close to paying you back and you will have one less expense.

I purchased solar panels for my house from sunset solar and I have zero regrets. Jordan was so helpful through the whole process and has made sure even with time to check back in. With My monthly payment and my ameren bill combined, it’s not near as much as I used to pay. One month my ameren bill was even negative. So happy I made this purchase and would recommend them to anyone! :)
