"AWESOME!! LOOK NO FURTHER FOR A PLUMBING COMPANY!! I always do competitive bidding for all of my subcontracting jobs. I got five other proposals for labor only (I supplied the faucet). A Plumbing Pro's reviews were GREAT and their proposal was the best, so I had them do the work. I had communicated with Tim the owner and had sent him pictures of the current valves and plumbing to verify that there would not be any added charges. Removing the old faucet was more difficult than expected and some modifications had to be made. No doubt the job took longer than anticipated, but (and here's the best part), TIM HONORED HIS PROPOSAL!!! I've had used a lot of subcontractors in my life and whenever they stand by their word, I will continue to use them and most certainly recommend them!!! Save yourself time and use A Plumbing Pro!!"

"I used Solar First to add solar panels on my roof and had battery backup added incase there is another hurricane. Jared clearly explained what I could expect from the solar and battery and helped me make the right decision. Highly recommend working with Solar First."

Beautiful, discreet design favoring the Southern facing roof for optimal exposure.
A slight gap between the roof surface and panel is the optimal design to allow air to pass beneath preventing the house from warming as a result of the panels.
Designed to meet the energy needs of the home and its owner.

"I would highly recommend both Ryan Swartz and 3D Solar for a PV solar installation. I reviewed 5 Solar installation companies, 3D Solar was the best by far. 1) Customer Service and interactions: Outstanding. Sales pitch was informative and interactive, they sought to listen and answer any and all questions. All inquiries were handled professionally, thoughtfully, and quickly. 3D Solar worked to set our expectations in all aspects of the project, making sure we understood the capabilities, process and services being provided. 2) Products and Warrantees: Outstanding. The solar products they offered were highly regarded in the industry. They represented the latest proven, highly resilient, completely monitored, residential technology out-there, all 'standard' components which are easily found, replaced and serviced if necessary. In addition their Warrantees were second to none. Yes, their component warrantees were through the manufacturers, but their service warrantees are unique. Such as: 1) Roof replacement de-install and re-install feature, 2) 25 year roof leak protection, 3) Panel performance guarantee of 30 years. 3) Referrals: Outstanding. 3D Solar provided several local referral installations for us to see and talk with the owners. We were able to see the neat quality installation, and experience the satisfaction and confidence the owners had in the results. 4) Capacity and Cost: Outstanding. Each quote we received had different drivers for sizing the array, and different ways of explaining the proposed cost. We had to discover how to compare them 'apples to apples'. First, the assumed peak hours of sunshine varied between vendors. One of the quotes assumed a much higher number of peak hours than the others AND industry sources. This vendor in my opinion would have undersized the array, resulting in NOT meeting our goal of satisfying our TOTAL electric consumption. Second, I found that the installed cost per watt, was the best way to compare the costs between vendors. Although this was not my top criteria, it was important. 3D Solar provided the lowest cost per watt installed! Would we choose 3D Solar again? Absolutely! Would we agree to show our installation to others as a referral? Absolutely! Note: At this time our Solar Array has been in production a little over two weeks. It is performing as explained so far. I have no reason to believe it were change."

"I rarely write reviews, and to be frank, a company needs to be very bad or extraordinary. In the case of Stillwell Solar, the word extraordinary is really not adequate. Bill Long, the owner, spent a few hours with me when we first met to explain the solar pool heater that he installs. In that this was going to be my THIRD install of a solar pool heater, the first two of which I found never to work, I was skeptical that any pool heater could actually work. Bill assured me that not only would it work, but it would be a product that was for the most part, free of problems and it would last for a very long time. When the install was complete, unfortunately for Stillwell Solar, my solar panels were on the east side of the home while the control panels were on the west side, meaning that they would have to run the full length of my roof to hook up the PVC that circulates to heat the pool. The could have just run a line on the roof that is unappealing, as do most solar pool heating companies do, but they took the time to follow the roof line, which required at least three or four hours at the very least to make certain that the black PVC was not noticeable. I could not believe that not only does the product work extremely well, but the equipment and PVC does not detract in any way from the home. If I could give them an 11 out of 10, I would. Don't waste your time looking for anyone else. These guys and gals have figured out how to make the magic work, and believe me, it does! If you need a solar pool heater, give them a call. I was 110% satisfied!"

Solar Panels questions, answered by experts

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.

The best solar panels to withstand hail are those rated UL 61730. These solar panels are certified to withstand hailstones up to 3 inches in diameter and travel at speeds up to 88 mph. IP68 solar panels are the next most resilient solar panel. Solar panels without these ratings can handle hail up to 1 inch in diameter that travels up to 50 miles per hour. If you live in an area with frequent or severe hailstorms, purchasing UL 61730 solar panels is often worth the investment.

In most cases, solar panels are covered by homeowners insurance because they are considered a permanently attached part of the home, and you may not need additional coverage. However, it is essential to read the fine print of your specific policy to understand the extent of the coverage, as some policies might only cover certain types of damage, such as hail. Always check with your insurance provider before installing solar panels to ensure your policy provides adequate coverage for your investment.

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.

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.
