"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."

"I had Soltari install my solar panels and I’m really happy with how everything turned out. I was a little nervous going into it since I didn’t know much about the process, but they made it super easy to understand and handled everything. The team was professional, respectful, and just really easy to work with. They showed up when they said they would and made sure everything was done right. Now that it’s all up and running, I’m honestly so glad I decided to go with them. I’d definitely recommend them to anyone looking into solar 😊"

"For me, here is what set apart American Renewable Energy (ARE) from other companies. Working in a consulting and service industry, I am aware of what is genuine customer service and what it is not. When I started learning about a whole-house energy system with solar panels, battery backup and a generator, I did not know the right questions to ask so I could make informed decisions. The ARE representative anticipated my needs and helped me to understand the big picture. After I provided a sample of my PG&E bills, I was given a computer-generated cost/benefit analysis with diagrams. The rep explained when it would be beneficial to purchase a solar, battery, and generator system. There was no pressure to immediately buy anything. This has enabled my wife and I to now understand just what we need to buy. American Renewable Energy has installed our whole-house Kohler generator and we look forward to getting installed our solar and battery backup."

"Albert Nahman PHC installed new AC and Furnace for my house. I like them for several reasons -- 1. At first Tom explained in detail what equipment I need and how they work, and gave me a reasonable and detailed quote at end of the visit. 2. They offer interest free finance. 3. I got free upgrade for furnace when the original quoted is not available. 4. Their installer did good job, and cleaned up afterward. I highly recommend this company."

"Outstanding. I had a crisis on my hand with a non functioning sewer, a house full of people, and a county wide shelter in place order because of the corona virus. I wish I could give Jess AAA rating instead of just an A rating. He is a pro’s pro. Tremendous can do attitude. Works fast. Keeps his promises. Communication skills are top notch. He kept me in the loop and fully informed. Jess and his crew over deliver. He did my job and cleaned up the mess left behind by a previous contractor that was fired for poor performance. Hire him with zero hesitation."

Solar Panels questions, answered by experts

Solar shingles typically last between 20 and 30 years, a lifespan comparable to that of traditional solar panels and standard asphalt shingles. The exact duration depends on the manufacturer and the quality of the installation. Because solar shingles are a newer technology, there is limited data on their actual long-term performance. Factors that can impact their durability and longevity include weather conditions, roof ventilation, and regular maintenance. To extend the life of your solar shingles, you should conduct regular inspections and cleaning, and make any necessary repairs as quickly as possible.

On average, a typical fridge uses 115 kWh per month. With eight hours of sunlight per day, a 100-watt solar panel can produce 30 kWh per month. This means you’ll need at least four dedicated panels to power the refrigerator with solar energy. Consult with a solar power specialist to get a more accurate estimate.

Yes, it is possible to install solar panels on a tar and gravel roof, but it is not the ideal roofing material for a solar installation. The process requires roof penetrations to install the solar racking system. While installers will seal these penetrations, they still increase the risk of leaks. This risk is higher on tar and gravel roofs, which are often flat. Flat roofs are more prone to leaks than sloped roofs because they can pool water during heavy rain and hold snow for longer periods, exposing the roof to more moisture.

You can install solar panels on a flat or pitched roof, but keep in mind that they will need to rest at a 30- to 50-degree tilt for optimal sun absorption. It costs more to install solar panels on a flat roof because you will need to install a framing system and likely hire a structural engineer. If your roof has a pitch of more than 40 degrees, it may not be a good candidate for solar panels.

The average cost to install solar panels is around $27,000, with most homeowners paying between $4,500 and $54,000. These prices don’t consider the federal investment tax credit (ITC), which can reduce costs by up to 30%. The final price depends on several factors, including the size of the system needed to offset your energy consumption, the amount of sunlight your home receives, your geographical location, the type and brand of panels, labor costs, and any add-on products like solar batteries or electric vehicle (EV) chargers. It is recommended to get price quotes from at least three solar companies in your area to find the best deal.
