"I initially had reservations about the concept of installing solar panels, but I was keen on getting an estimate and seeking professional advice. That's when I met Arvin. He provided me with a comprehensive walkthrough, clearly outlining the advantages of having solar panels. The entire process was straightforward, with each step being well-explained, leaving no room for surprises or unexpected outcomes. Now, a little over 5 months since the installation, I'm enjoying the benefits as expected. I want to extend my gratitude to Arvin for his professionalism and responsiveness. He was always there to address any questions I had, both during and after the installation process. Thank you, Arvin!"

"I live "off the grid" so 100% of my electricity is from solar panels and battery storage. Recently my 21 year old system was starting to fail forcing me to continually run my generator. After researching and spending a large amount of time reading reviews online I contacted TARGET ELECTRIC & SOLAR for a quote. The next day they sent out an ELECTRICIAN to assess my needs and requirements. The following day I had a formal written quote. I had a few minor changes so they revised the quote. I told them I had an upcoming surgery scheduled so the timing was critical. I had just gone to Costco and loaded my freezer with over $300 in frozen food and that was going to melt down. The owner of Target Electric offered to let me put my food in his church/community centers freezers. I used my own church's freezers. Who does that? Target Electric laid out a three tier payment schedule and we got the project started. The components were shipped directly to my home and within a day or two the cre"

"I had a wonderful experience with Marco from Green Choice Energy. A highly professional, knowledgeable, responsive, efficient and friendly solar technician. His persistence in quickly locating the problem with my solar system and his follow up with the manufacturer of the inverter saved me a great deal of money on the repair. I will be calling Marco again if the need ever arises. He and the company were great, and I highly recommend them."

"We are so excited that NRG helped us to install Solar Panels on our house in San Francisco! Their entire team was wonderful from their first presentation providing us with all the information to the completion of the installation. Their installation staff was wonderful and completed the project without a hitch. Nicole Greenwood our customer service rep kept us informed of each step along the way and made everything easy. We had gotten estimates from two other companies and are glad we went with NRG. No worries and a wonderful experience. We will recommend NRG without reservation. Thanks to your whole team! Marge B."

"i could not be happier with OC Solar, they deserve all of the hype! i have worked with Vinnie and the oc solar team for over 5 years and done many projects with their team. they are always on time, priced well, easy to work with, and the communication is excellent. itâ s hard to find good contractors, so when you find one, you have to tell people, and OC Solar is worth putting my name on the line for. we have had them install Tesla power walls for us, specifically the tesla power wall 3. they have installed Panasonic and q cell panels for us and the installation quality is top of the line. highly recommend, 10/10. choose ur installer wisely, los Angeles is not easy to work with, so i recommend a proven company like OC Solar"

"They scheduled appointment thru phone and text and even. Once they arrived they repaired what was needed, let me borrow a hose to top off my pool, and even gave me an education on how the pool equipment operated. Even then they came in under what they orginally estimated. Would suggest to anyone who need solar panel repairs."

"I’m so excited today. Baker Electric is completing the installation of my Tesla battery which will connect to my solar system. The entire process has been seamless. From the very beginning I received informative emails from the office keeping me up to date about required permits, process needs and what to expect next. As luck would have it, I also received a call that the workers could come to my home a day earlier than I was promised and they asked if I wanted them to start early! I knew when to anticipate their arrival and what they would need to get started on the project. Before the workers began the installation of my battery, they reviewed what the two-day process would look like and when to expect my electricity to be turned off. As they worked, they kept the work area clean, reminding me where they were in the process, and when the electricity would be off. No matter how many questions I asked, they acted like responding to me was a priority and didn’t walk away unti"

Solar Panels FAQs, answered by experts

As long as your solar panels are properly installed without damage to your roof, they will not shorten the roof’s life span. Solar panels can act as a cover or barrier to your roof and help block external elements, such as debris, heat, and UV rays. Reduced exposure to the weather can extend your roof’s life.

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.

Solar batteries can be a great investment to help maximize your solar savings and make your system and home more valuable, but they’re most beneficial to customers who don’t have access to net metering. If your state or energy provider doesn’t provide net metering, batteries can be a great way to offset consumption even when your panels aren’t producing power. They also come with the added benefit of providing electricity through blackouts, so they’re valuable in areas prone to severe weather that could cause frequent blackouts. Your installer can help you decide if batteries are worthwhile.

In most states, solar installers need to be licensed and insured as solar professionals, although some states don’t have specific requirements for installers. You can use our state licensing tool to check if an installer you’re considering hiring holds the proper licensing. No matter where you live, a member of your solar panel installation company must be a certified electrician to connect your panels to your home and the electric grid.

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.
