"I recently had the pleasure of working with Ken at Ellison Electrical on a service panel upgrade for my electrical vehicle and completely rewired my new kitchen. Ken was incredibly patient, explaining every step of the process. He immediately understood the floor plan and installed everything to code. His attention to detail and knowledge was exceptional. The quality of his work is evident in every connection and fixture. The service panel upgrade was seamless, my kitchen looks amazing and now my home feels more secure and efficient. He was always punctual, respectful of my property. I highly recommend Ellison Electrical for any electrical project."

"After having a nightmare working with two smaller companies, I decided to go to NRG Clean Power for my solar needs. I?m understating when I say the experience was like night and day: efficiency, communication, and progress the whole way forward. Before I knew it, my installation was complete and my solar equipment was operational. I want to thank Miles in particular for his hard work and constantly being available to answer my questions. Everyone does their job right at this company. Wonderful experience and I?m saving money while helping the environment!"

"Jeff was great to work with. He took the extra time to discuss questions we had while making sure our solar project was managed seamlessly from start to finish. Everything was planned for and taken care of, down to the small details where his crew took the time to color match the new electrical conduit on the roof as well as on the exterior wall of the house. The entire process was completed in a timely matter, from the initial planning stages, through permits, installation and inspections."

"I have to have my roof replaced of the 3 companies that came out Spartan was the only one who addressed the leak I was concerned about. The other companies were going to charge me a bunch of money and let it still leak. They were not going to address it until it was an issue and tell me it was not covered. Spartan was top notch start to finish. The guys working on the house were awesome as well as every one I worked with. I would highly recommend them."

Solar Panels questions, answered by experts

Homeowners replace their solar panels after 25 years. That said, you don’t necessarily need to replace them at the 25-year mark. You’ll notice a declining ability to produce electricity over time. Most homeowners spring for a replacement when they notice their energy bills creeping up to regular levels or when solar panel repairs are extensive, frequent, and no longer economical.

In almost every case, solar panels need to be removed to replace roof shingles. In some cases, such as solar installations where the panels are on raised platforms above the roof surface, installers may be able to install new shingles without removing the solar installation. However, to get a quality roofing installation, panels need to come off. Most roofing contractors won’t remove or reinstall solar panels as part of a roofing project, so you’ll need to contact your solar provider.

There are a few great questions to ask a solar contractor or inspector when you speak to them. You’ll probably want to find out about the energy yield and efficiency of your array, ensuring the actual output matches the amount you calculated when installing the array in the first place. It’s also a good idea to find out about any damage or wear and tear on the array and to inquire about how soon you need to make repairs or replacements to essential components.

You can install solar panels on a metal roof, but it will require some additional thought and care versus a traditional asphalt shingle roof. That’s because heat dissipates off a metal roof differently than asphalt or wood, so you may need to space the panels further from the roof. However, a pro can help you with the details and provide a safe and effective installation.

You shouldn’t hook up a solar panel directly to a battery. That can damage the solar battery and your appliances over time. Instead, install a charge controller between your solar panel and solar battery. Charge controllers regulate voltage, prevent overcharging, and minimize the amount of electrical current to protect your battery from voltage spikes.
