"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."

"The solar electric system is now installed and functional 5.5 KW Grid tie system. Standard Relewable sub-contracted much of the work, and I had to deal with several Standard Renewable people over the course of the project. I paid in two payments by credit card. They were very slow to make arrengements to take the second payment. There were several times when it was difficult to get response by email. I emailed several times to make the final payment, and could not get them to do so. The conduit in the Attic is run so that it crosses open space at head knocking height. Over all the system is installed and working, but lacks fine touches"

"Please Read!!! After looking for over 2 months I came across Golden Solar. At first I was impressed with the communication, happy with the reviews and the agreed price till I sign in a contract then all communication stopped. The second day they came out and surveyed the property and I thought that this is going to move quickly and I"ll be generating my own power soon. Well this was the end. 1 month later no call or no updates and no return calls. I called and talked to the owner and ask what is going on!!! He didn't have a answer for me. After 2 months again no calls no updates and no return calls. I called and talked to the Sales person and ask what is going on!!! He also didn't have any idea but said he was going to the office and have a meeting with the owner and on Monday will have a firm installation date. Monday came and again NO CALLS so on Tuesday I called and talked to the owner and he said that he could not do the job because of my Concrete Tile Roof (what!!!). If concrete tiles are a problem this should have been told to me when they came out and surveyed my property, the 2nd day. This company should have told me from day 1 that we cannot do this job Instead they wasted over 2 months of my time for nothing. Now I have to start over from square 1 looking for Solar. This is the worst customer service I have ever had dealing with any company. I tried to give this company 1/2 stars but this website wouldn't publish it."

Solar Panels FAQs, 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.

In almost every case, solar panels need to be removed to replace roof shingles. In some cases, such as solar installations where the panels are on raised platforms above the roof surface, installers may be able to install new shingles without removing the solar installation. However, to get a quality roofing installation, panels need to come off. Most roofing contractors won’t remove or reinstall solar panels as part of a roofing project, so you’ll need to contact your solar provider.

Not all homes are suited for solar panel systems. Older roofs or those in poor condition may need repairs or replacement before solar panels can be installed. Some other factors to consider are the amount of sunlight your roof receives, the roof’s orientation and pitch, and any shading from nearby trees or buildings.

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.

You shouldn’t hook up a solar panel directly to a battery. That can damage the solar battery and your appliances over time. Instead, install a charge controller between your solar panel and solar battery. Charge controllers regulate voltage, prevent overcharging, and minimize the amount of electrical current to protect your battery from voltage spikes.
