"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!"

"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!"

"It took my HOA more than a month to approve my project. It took RCI Solar only 2 days to install my solar panels along with a generator sub-panel! Watching that PG&E meter spin backward is the most beautiful thing I have seen today. Solar installs this year are eligible for a rebate, do not wait for next year."

Solar Panels FAQs, answered by experts

Solar roofing shingles may qualify for significant federal tax incentives through programs like the Residential Clean Energy Credit, which offers up to 30% of installation costs through 2032. State and local governments often provide additional credits, and utility companies may offer further rebates or net metering programs, depending on the state. Just look into the qualification requirements beforehand because installation, documentation, and technical standards can impact eligibility. Consult the current guidelines and a tax professional to maximize available benefits.

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.

Yes, solar panel installation will require permits. The required permits will depend on where you live, as some states and cities have solar-specific permits, while others only require electrical permits to connect to the grid. In either case, it’s best to hire a reputable solar installer in your area, as a representative should handle all of the necessary permitting for you and will include the cost of the permits in your initial solar estimate.

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 shingles typically last between 20 and 30 years, a lifespan comparable to that of traditional solar panels and standard asphalt shingles. The exact duration depends on the manufacturer and the quality of the installation. Because solar shingles are a newer technology, there is limited data on their actual long-term performance. Factors that can impact their durability and longevity include weather conditions, roof ventilation, and regular maintenance. To extend the life of your solar shingles, you should conduct regular inspections and cleaning, and make any necessary repairs as quickly as possible.
