Q: Do solar panels cause mold on the roof?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;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&mdash;such as roof leaks and mounts that aren&rsquo;t sealed properly&mdash;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.</p></div>

Q: Do I need permits for solar panel installation?

• <div><p>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&rsquo;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.</p></div>

Q: What questions should I ask a solar panel company before hiring?

• <div><p>There are a few qualifying questions you should ask a <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/install-solar-panels/">local solar panel company</a> before hiring them:</p><ul><li><p>Will you handle permits for the installation?</p></li><li><p>Does your total price include the equipment and labor?</p></li><li><p>How long do you expect the installation process to take?</p></li><li><p>What kind of workmanship warranty do you include with your installations?</p></li><li><p>Who should I contact if I have a problem with my system after installation?</p></li><li><p>Do you install the panels or outsource the work to third parties?</p></li><li><p>Will you file for solar incentives for me?</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: How often should solar panels be replaced?

• <div><p>Homeowners replace their solar panels after 25 years. That said, you don&rsquo;t necessarily need to replace them at the 25-year mark. You&rsquo;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. </p></div>

Q: What is the typical lifespan of solar panels?

• <div><p>Solar panels have a life span between 10 and 40 years, depending on the type of panel. For example, monocrystalline panels can last up to 40 years, while thin-film ones only last between 10 and 20 years. The longevity also comes down to keeping up with solar panel repairs and their related costs .</p></div>

Lenny and crew are knowledgeable and honest. They donâ t nickel and dime and run a 50 ft cable from the panel through the basement to the garage. I would highly recommend them for any electrical projects.

Several panels of the door came damaged. American Overhead Door promised replacements within 3 weeks. Now, several years later, they claim they will not fix it since too much time has elapsed. They do not stand behind their work or their word.
