Q: How do I know if my roof can support solar panels?

• <div><p>The best way to know if your roof can support solar panels is to hire a structural engineer. They&rsquo;ll look at your roof and approve the design of your solar panel system or suggest changes. The best roofing for solar panels is made from strong materials like asphalt shingles and metal, but tile and gravel will work. Softer materials like thatch or temporary structures are not a good fit.</p></div>

Q: Will solar panels put holes in my roof?

• <div><p>Installing solar panels involves drilling small holes in your roof to secure the solar panel mounting brackets. These brackets hold the solar panels in place and must withstand strong weather conditions so they&rsquo;re secured into your roof. However, holes and screws are sealed to prevent leaking and further damage.</p></div>

Q: Do I need to tell my home insurance about my solar panels?

• <div><p>Yes, you should tell your home insurance company about your solar panels. Even if you believe they&rsquo;re covered by your existing policy, installing a solar panel system is a significant change to your home. This can affect coverage and premiums. By discussing your new solar panel installation with your insurance provider, you can be sure you have enough coverage and that the policy completely covers the panels against damage.</p></div>

Q: How many solar panels do I need for my home?

• <div><p>The average homeowner needs around <b>22 solar panels</b>, but the exact number depends on your monthly energy consumption. Your solar professional should size your array to offset your consumption, meaning you&rsquo;ll need fewer panels if you use below-average amounts of electricity, or more than 22 if you use above-average amounts of electricity. The number of panels also depends on the output of each panel. The average is around 400 watts, but you might need more panels if you install less capable equipment. Since there are so many variables, you should have a professional size your system.</p></div>

Q: Is it worth it to go solar?

• <div><p>For most U.S. homeowners, switching to solar energy is an excellent investment. A properly sized solar array can <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-money-solar-panels-save.htm">significantly reduce your electric bill</a>, saving money on utilities every month. Most homeowners enjoy savings that cover the cost of their solar systems within 12 years and then turn a profit. Additionally, federal and state tax incentives are available that help make solar an even better and more profitable investment.</p></div>

"Cassy was pleasure to deal with. She returned calls promptly, she was here when she said she would be. Her employee's were very polite and very attentive how I wanted things done. She used good materials and done the job right. I have worked in the construction industry for almost 40 years and she is a rare breed these days. She went over and above. She asked me if I would like for them to trim up my trees which they did about 10 of them and was a freebie. I paid someone several hundred dollars the last time I had my trees trimmed up. I would highly recommend her for any of your fencing needs. I could not be happier. It's really good to see there are still some hard working people out there that take pride in there work."

"The last was a rental company that we have and we used them for an air conditioning and heating system. It was Bototach Mechanical. It’s been a good program for us. They’re very responsive. I don’t know what the thought process was. My husband said, well let’s try these guys and so we did. We have an older home and it’s proved to be a very good deal. The quality has been pretty good, so I would give them an A for the quality. I will give you one helpful hint though. If the company decides they want to replace an appliance, you need to call them and negotiate with them because you can upgrade, but you need to talk to them in person not just do it over the internet."
