"His name is Andrew Johnson. He is going to be doing our carport next. He does all of our electrical but he also does incredible solar. It was around $17,000 for the solar. We have a big house. You can't beat his prices. He doesn't have a huge company. His guys are great. He shows up when he says. He does meticulous work. The city's came out and told him right in front us that he did better than perfect. He lives in our neighborhood. He told him to get on Angie's List"

"We decided to go green and to replace the water heater and to install a tankless system and a solar panel system. We met several times with Ezra and Charlie and we spoke and covered everything that involved with this and to know exactly what can i earn from that. Ezra proved me that he is very knowledgeable and he knew exactly what system will fit us most. The work that they did took close to a month and Ezra and his office did it as a hassle free project for us. 
We are very happy with them and the company itself."

"Solar Shoppers was amazing to work with. I had a couple other companies come in and give estmates to include Costco. Solar Shoppers gave me more relevant information than any of those other companies combined so I could make an educated decision. When on the phone setting up the appointment I informed the person helping me that I just had a representative for the Costco backed company get upset with me because of all my questions. She said she would have an experienced representative come out so my questions could been answered and they were completely. I didn't have the roof space needed for the number of panels I needed, the Solar Shoppers rep asked about the patio if I thought of using it also. I wanted to replace the wood on the patio so the Solar Shoppers Rep had the installation postponed to give me as much time as needed to complete the repairs I wanted to do on my patio. cover. When I was done with the patio repairs I contacted Solar Shoppers and they were out within a couple days and completed the installation of the solar panels. The installers we're great, curtious and very professional. The electricians had to change out my entire fuse box and also we're very friendly and professional. The entire experience with Solar Shoppers was great, I am very happy with the entire process and experience. I would highly recommend them to all."

Solar Panels questions, answered by experts

The average homeowner needs around 22 solar panels, but the exact number depends on your monthly energy consumption. Your solar professional should size your array to offset your consumption, meaning you’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.

Although solar panels harness the sun's power, they come at an environmental cost. The manufacturing process requires large amounts of water and involves hazardous materials like cadmium, silicon, and gallium arsenide. These materials don’t pose safety hazards while the panels are in use but can pose a problem when left in landfills. Over time, hazardous materials can leach into the environment. This is why recycling solar panels whenever possible is better than taking them to landfills.

The best way to save money on solar panels is to take advantage of federal and state solar incentives. For example, the solar investment tax credit (ITC) offered by the federal government can save 30% of your total—if you can take the entire credit, which is based on income taxes owed—or an average of around $9,000. You can check the Database of State Incentives for Renewables and Efficiency (DSIRE) for state and local incentives that could save you even more.

You can start narrowing your search for a reputable solar company by finding local, regional, and national companies that service your area and maintain positive reviews online. You should also check the Better Business Bureau’s (BBB) website to see if the company has complaints filed against them. Next, contact the remaining candidates and ask about installation timelines, warranty coverage, and financing options. Choose a company that offers a labor warranty that lasts at least 10 years and prioritizes cash purchases and solar loans.

If you’re deciding between a solar battery versus a generator 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’t have many ongoing costs.
