Q: Should I install solar batteries along with my panels?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/solar-battery-cost.htm">Solar batteries</a> can be a great investment to help maximize your solar savings and make your system and home more valuable, but they&rsquo;re most beneficial to customers who don&rsquo;t have access to net metering. If your state or energy provider doesn&rsquo;t provide net metering, batteries can be a great way to offset consumption even when your panels aren&rsquo;t producing power. They also come with the added benefit of providing electricity through blackouts, so they&rsquo;re valuable in areas prone to severe weather that could cause frequent blackouts. Your installer can help you decide if batteries are worthwhile.</p></div>

Q: How do you mount solar panels for a well pump?

• <div><p>The best solar-panel mounting system will depend on your property layout, but you&rsquo;ll typically want to try for south-facing panels to get the most sun. Roof mounting and wall mounting are both popular, but if your well setup is far away from buildings and other structures you can also set up a freestanding aluminum frame to mount your panels.</p></div>

Q: How many hours of sunlight do you need for solar panels?

• <div><p>Solar panels should get at least four to six hours of direct sunlight daily. It&rsquo;s even better if sunlight reaches panels between the peak hours of 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. This is enough to power a home, depending on your solar system&rsquo;s size and energy needs. Remember that panels will generate some power under cloudy skies or in the shade, and many systems compensate for lower sun exposure by drawing energy from the grid or battery storage.</p></div>

Q: Should I buy a solar battery or a generator?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re deciding between a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/solar-batteries-vs-generators.htm">solar battery versus a generator</a> for the best backup power solution, you can take a few factors into consideration. Solar batteries are quiet while generators can be quite loud. Generators have a lower up-front cost, but they require fuel and ongoing maintenance while solar batteries are more expensive but don&rsquo;t have many ongoing costs. </p></div>

Q: Do you have to climb on the roof to install solar tubing?

• <div><p>Yes, you have to get on the roof to cut a hole for solar tubing. It's not possible to complete the job from inside your house by simply cutting through the ceiling. So if you want to go the DIY route, remember to use <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-learn-ladder-safety.htm">safe ladder practices</a>. If you&rsquo;re not comfortable climbing on your roof to install solar tubes, hire a pro who has the tools and expertise to do the job safely.</p></div>

"They came right out and replaced the faucet, great work, very nice guy that came out and WOW a great price too. After the company left, I noticed that the back of my washing machine had been burnt by one of their tools. There is now a hole on the control panel of the washing machine. I felt like they covered this up instead of letting me know about this accident. I have only had my washing machine about 4 months.
