"Exact Solar and the Bortman’s installed solar panels for me on both a previous house and my current house. The panels turned my poolS from the cold poolS that no one wanted to go in, to the fun warm pools all summer with no marginal cost to heat. They did a free solar study from google earth to determine if my house and pool were good candidates for the panels, answered every question and installed them as advertised on time and on budget."

"Paul was punctual and professional. He was flexible with scheduling when we had some uncooperative weather. AC wasn't holding temp. Paul cleaned the coil and added Freon and it worked well again. I can't rate on price since my landlord was billed but Paul did quality work."

"It took Lou and Dave(?) 2 days to do the job, We went away to avoid the mess, and when we got home we wouldn't have known they were here except for the new outdoor A/C unit. They were good enough to call me at the end of the day so I could rearm the security system. So, it went well, but I wasn't there to see the details.

"We have been using the Orbit Water Solutions filtration and reverse osmosis system for a month with absolutely no problems. From the time of the install -- the crew was prompt, efficient (install took only a couple of hours) and courteous -- our experience has been overwhelmingly positive. Our water previously was full of all manner of minerals and chlorine, but now it's soft and more pleasant to drink and bathe in. My wife is already talking about how nice her hair feels after washing. I notice that my skin and scalp are less itchy after showering. We plan to retire and relocate soon, so another great feature of Orbit's system is that we can take it with us. Orbit says they'll uninstall here and arrange to have it installed in our new home, even if it's in a market the company normally doesn't serve."

Solar Panels questions, answered by experts

Rooftop solar panels supply energy to a single household, where a solar farm can power multiple homes at once with clean energy. Residential rooftop solar panels cost more per watt with a lower project total, and those panels only service the residence they are installed on (in most circumstances). With a solar farm, multiple households can buy into the project and share the overall cost.

Solar panels can protect your roof from hail, as they can withstand hail up to 1 inch in diameter that falls up to 50 mph. Your solar panels may experience damage if the hailstones are bigger and travel faster. Your roof can still suffer hail damage, and it’s essential to look for signs and repair issues right away. Roof damage can lead to leaks and water damage inside your home.

Insurance companies aren’t against solar panels, but they may have concerns about the risks and costs of insuring solar. The type of policy, where you live, and the insurance company itself matter. Extreme weather can damage solar panels, and faulty installation or electrical malfunctions pose a fire risk—this, in turn, can increase insurance company liability and payouts. However, you’re likely to keep coverage as long as you have a pro install the solar system, keep it maintained, can pass a solar panel inspection, and update your homeowners policy to include solar.

The actual time it takes to construct the solar farm is relatively short, taking between 2 and 4 months on average. That timeline is dependent on site conditions, crew size, and the overall size of the solar farm.

However, the time it takes to get the ball rolling is significantly longer, ranging from 3 to 5 years. With a project of this scale, you’ll need to obtain all of the proper permits and approvals to start breaking ground, and depending on your location, that could be an extended process.

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.
