"It would be wise to not sign an agreement nor pay upfront before doing a little research on what the job entails. In haste, I did't do any research before committing to the agreement and paying the full amount. In retrospect, I should have waited until I checked all the angles before committing to the job, I would have save over $700 on this project."

"I paid $62000 to have my roofs repaired - not cheap for a disabled person. Hopefully, thei dropping the ball is not because Im disabled. They removed but did not properly reattach my ATT line to detached garage. Also, there was a fluke rainstorm about 1-1/2 weeks ago and i heard a dripping sound in / near chimney. I complained and Brent Eikanas their contact promised to have supervisor here to check leak TODAY between 10-11 am and anchor the ATT connection like it was before they removed it. They no-showed AGAIN. I had to remind them of other items they needed to do to finish/using my payment as leverage - removing the old gutter all the way - they had only half-way removed it. I have photos and next winter will have to video and record leak in/near fireplace. I had to start documenting because phone call is useless. The workers left nails and some trash too and on Cinco de Mayo, their last day here, they did two structures in 4 hours,"

Solar Panels questions, answered by experts

In most cases, solar panels are covered by homeowners insurance. However, you’ll need to read the fine print of your particular home insurance policy to ensure you’ll receive coverage for various incidents that could take place. For example, some policies only cover hail damage. Check with your provider to make sure your policy has adequate coverage.

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.

Solar shingles last between 20 and 30 years, which is about as long as solar panels and standard asphalt shingles last. Their exact life span depends on the manufacturer and the quality of installation. You can increase the longevity of your solar shingles by conducting regular inspections and maintenance and making any necessary repairs as quickly as possible.

Solar roofing shingles may qualify for significant federal tax incentives through programs like the Residential Clean Energy Credit, which offers up to 30% of installation costs through 2032. State and local governments often provide additional credits, and utility companies may offer further rebates or net metering programs, depending on the state. Just look into the qualification requirements beforehand because installation, documentation, and technical standards can impact eligibility. Consult the current guidelines and a tax professional to maximize available benefits.

While you can minimally overshoot the number of solar panels you need for your home, it's not smart to go too far. Not only is the extra cost unnecessary, but your state may put caps on how much energy your home can produce and send back to the grid. It is always best to work with a solar energy professional to determine the best system size for you.
