"Others wanted weeks to come out to just diagnose the problem. I talked to Jon on a Friday and he came out on Monday. He diagnosed the problem to be the inverter which was under warranty. Jon handled all the warranty stuff and replaced it the next day it arrived. We added some panels to optimize my inverter capacity. So it is now fixed and producing more power than before. I highly recommend Sun Kiss Solar."

"I recently chose Solar Sesame for my solar panel installation, and Iâ m thrilled with my decision! After consulting with three other companies, it was clear that Solar Sesame offered the best combination of professionalism and expertise. Preslav was my salesman, and he was outstanding. His knowledge of solar energy and the installation process was impressive, and he took the time to address all my questions thoroughly. I appreciated his transparency and clear communication, which made the decision-making process much easier. Ultimately, I felt confident signing with Solar Sesame, knowing I was in good hands. The installation went smoothly, and Iâ m already seeing the benefits in my energy bills. I highly recommend Solar Sesame and Preslav for anyone considering solarâ truly a top-notch experience!"

"Working with the ILUM Solar team was a true pleasure. We started our project on our own and quickly realized we needed some help. I contacted ILUM Solar and Robert Dean took over the planning, permitting and installation process. We have had our ground mount 60 panel solar system for 3 years with no problems. Highly recommend."

Solar Panels questions, answered by experts

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.

Solar panels can protect your roof from hail, as they can withstand hail up to 1 inch in diameter that falls up to 50 mph. Your solar panels may experience damage if the hailstones are bigger and travel faster. Your roof can still suffer hail damage, and it’s essential to look for signs and repair issues right away. Roof damage can lead to leaks and water damage inside your home.

Solar water heating systems are not one-size-fits-all. You'll likely work with a team of experts to get the job done—including solar panel installers, plumbers, and water heater installers. A specialist will help you decide if a passive or active system is best for your local weather, home layout, roof stability, and your budget.

Solar well pumps range from needing 200 watts of power to as much as 12,000 watts for heavy-duty pumps. Since the most common and cost-friendly solar panels are 100-watt panels, you’ll need between two and 12 panels. The average is between two and eight panels for standard pumps. Based on the average cost of solar panels ($1 to $1.50 per watt), you’d pay between $200 and $1,800 for your well pump solar panels—not including installation.

It’s possible that installing solar panels can lead to mold on the roof. The panels themselves are not the issue. Problems caused by improper installation—such as roof leaks and mounts that aren’t sealed properly—can cause mold. Another potential cause of mold is debris accumulation under panels, which can trap moisture. If you live somewhere with extreme snow, rain, or hail, your home could be more prone to mold.
