"Roberto Sanchez Solar System, I interviewed 4 solar panel companies and I chose NRG because Will was able to explain everything well. He answered all my questions to my complete satisfaction. Friendly and honest, Will made the sales process very smooth and personable. Tiffany helped and coordinated the project to make sure everything goes well. She always got back to my emails and phone calls promptly. Installers completed the solar panels when I was at work. Came home and he solar panels were on the roof. Definitely a nice install and quality work was delivered. Lisa helped out with the financing on the HVAC. She was patient and I believe got me a lower amount that before. Solar edge app is great to use and straight forward. Highly recommended company thanks NRG. I am excited to use my new solar system!"

"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."

"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."

"Michael, the estimator, came out and got all the information. He was very professional and even talked about various different options including putting the heater in the attic. He was very knowledgeable. I chose to go with another company, but I believe that Albert Nahman Plumbing and Heating would have done a great job on the work proposed."

Solar Panels questions, answered by experts

The best way to know if your roof can support solar panels is to hire a structural engineer. They’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.

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.

Ideally, you want to place them facing true south. This is different from what a compass shows, which is called the magnetic south. You can find true south by using an online calculator as long as you know the longitude and latitude of your property. Solar panel placement is key to maximizing the energy you generate, so this is an important step.

Yes, you should tell your home insurance company about your solar panels. Even if you believe they’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.
