"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."

"Ilum Solar did a great job with our system’s installation. The price was competitive and they use top notch and highest quality components such as Enphase microinverters. I have referred them to friends and family and they have also installed systems for them!"

"Rob was one of five solar representatives I spoke to before deciding on installing my system. While not the cheapest bid, I appreciated the fact that his was a local outfit, his candor and the thorough explanations of installation and of the potential benefits. The installation was very quick, clean and they even hid the conduit in the attic (I dislike unsightly pipes all over the rooflines)! It's been almost 10 years now and I've been happy with the results and ongoing support. Recently, the original inverter went out. Though I was unaware (out of town), Rick called me to arrange its quick replacement. I've recommended RCI to several acquaintances and will continue to do so in the future."

Solar Panels FAQs, answered by experts
  • Installing a new electrical meter box

  • Replacing your meter base

  • Replacing your service entrance cable 

The cost to install or upgrade an electrical meter box ranges from $100 to $650, including $50 to $250 for the unit. The meter base passes the power from your electric company to your panel. The cost to replace a meter base is roughly $50 to $250. 

Service entrance cables are electrical cables with multiple wires, bringing power from electrical companies to residential buildings. The cost to replace a service entrance cable ranges roughly from $1,000 to $1,500.

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 cases, yes, solar panels are well worth the investment. Going solar with your home’s energy is expensive, but, in most states, the panels will pay for themselves by reducing your electric bills. Solar panels don’t produce greenhouse gasses or other pollutants, meaning you can feel good about using this renewable energy source to power your home. Plus, installing solar panels can boost your home value, helping your profit off your next home sale.

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.

The time it takes to install solar panels depends on the number of panels and the size of your home, but installation takes between two and three days of work. While most contractors can install the panels over the course of a couple of days, switching to solar energy can take two to three months in total. This includes the time it takes to design the system, procure the parts, obtain the permits, install the panels, connect to the main power grid, and get an inspection.
