"Yuri discussed the issue over the phone and described the steps needed to correct the problem. I sent photos of the breaker panel so he could confirm what we had installed. We agreed on a time, he arrived exactly on time and had everything done quickly and efficiently for the price we discussed. His price was reasonable and what I would’ve expected. Plus he’s a nice person. I will definitely use him the next time I need work done."

"The tech showed up a little early which I appreciated; nothing worse than being late for an appointment. He quickly diagnosed the issue with our solar system and is working to get a new inverter under warranty from the manufacturer. He also installed a critter guard to keep the birds from nesting under our panels."

"Shawn and his team were awesome for this project. They understood immediately what realistic budget was, provided very clear itemized project updates as things went on, took care of all the work, and worked with me to complete it all in two days while working around my busy corporate lifestyle. Work was done very clean, conscious of keeping costs low but with quality, and they were fast and friendly. Highly recommend going with them over any of the big 3 companies who will quote you way too much, provide no itemized receipt or options."

"I'm so impressed, contact was made in a short amount of time.the first response was do you have water, that was the kindest thing to ask. He was concerned that our main line had broken and we had to shut off the water. A genuine concern I really appreciate that. An estimate was given and a day and time to do our job was agreed upon. That morning, I received a phone call, they were on there way. Plastic was placed on my floors, and work began. The crew was very respectful and kind. It was an all day job, they ran a new water main from The meter to our house, it was a huge distance 262 feet. I was amazed at how quickly the team worked, cooperation between the team was quite professional. By the end of the day I had water, a new main line, and a super clean driveway. The crew was proud of there work, and they have good reason to be. A job well done. This is my go to plumber, my knights in shinning armor. I just can't rave enough. Thank you so much"

"BlueCore was very responsive to my request for service and they showed up when they said they would. They are knowledgeable and answered all of my questions. The cost of troubleshooting seems quite high. However, in an industry where solar companies are here today, gone tomorrow, BlueCoreâ s service is first rate."

Solar Panels questions, answered by experts

The average homeowner needs around 22 solar panels, but the exact number depends on your monthly energy consumption. Your solar professional should size your array to offset your consumption, meaning you’ll need fewer panels if you use below-average amounts of electricity, or more than 22 if you use above-average amounts of electricity. The number of panels also depends on the output of each panel. The average is around 400 watts, but you might need more panels if you install less capable equipment. Since there are so many variables, you should have a professional size your system.

Depending on the climate in your area, the best time to install solar panels is either winter or early spring. Summer is a fine time to install panels, too, but it tends to be the busy season, so prices may be higher and companies may have packed schedules. The installation process can take more time than expected between getting permits and finalizing a design, so start as soon as you can.

  • 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.

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.

Homeowners replace their solar panels after 25 years. That said, you don’t necessarily need to replace them at the 25-year mark. You’ll notice a declining ability to produce electricity over time. Most homeowners spring for a replacement when they notice their energy bills creeping up to regular levels or when solar panel repairs are extensive, frequent, and no longer economical.
