"Having Sunpower install our Solar panels has been a great experience. Arvin helped explain the system, process the paperwork, and made sure the installation and inspections were all done on time. Sunpower system has saved us alot in electrical costs. We are so happy with how this has turned out. Our system is actually performing 25% more efficiently than expected!! A big thanks to Arvin for all his help throughout this process."

"I can't say enough good things about my experience with Solar Universe. The installation was executed perfectly and timely. Any questions I had were a phone call away and were answered promptly. When the day came to switch the system on, all went without a hitch and I was thrilled to see the meter turning backwards! We're off the grid and saving a good amount of money on our electrical bill. I would highly recommend these folks for your solar investment."

"I hired ReVamp for two different jobs. The first one was to remove my solar panels and re-roof my roof due to leaks from a faulty installation by a now bankrupt company. They did the re- install quickly and expertly. They were quick to respond and did the work promptly. They were very detail oriented and respectful of the property. Re-Vamp was also the best price. I called Re-Vamp last month to install a DOA Solar Edge inverter. I was pleased they remembered my name after the solar re-install from a year later. Again prompt service fast scheduling and quality work. I will always call them for any solar power issues."

"I brought to the attention the 1 panel that had a sagging corner, my comment was ignored. Just this month I received an e-mail asking if I could use any additional services to me, in response I asked about the sagging corner and an unrelated technical question. They addressed my question but not my sagging corner. This is the reason I did not give them all 5 stars."

Solar Panels questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can connect an inverter directly to your solar panels without solar battery storage if your home is connected to the power grid. However, most pros don’t recommend a direct connection because solar panels don’t put out steady voltage. It’s always best to install a charge controller between your solar panel and your inverter to regulate the flow of energy and ensure a stable power supply.

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.

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.

The best solar panels to withstand hail are those rated UL 61730. These solar panels are certified to withstand hailstones up to 3 inches in diameter and travel at speeds up to 88 mph. IP68 solar panels are the next most resilient solar panel. Solar panels without these ratings can handle hail up to 1 inch in diameter that travels up to 50 miles per hour. If you live in an area with frequent or severe hailstorms, purchasing UL 61730 solar panels is often worth the investment.

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.
