"We found this wonderful faith based company online and after a phone call we agreed to an appointment for a free no obligation estimate. We agreed to their very fair prices as well as easy as pie getting us booked. They gave us a date and said we?ll be there at eight sharp. A nice looking young man shows up (10 mins early?. Points for them already) and when I open the door he?s ready with booties to cover his boots, (More points) I thought that was thoughtful. Drop clothes down (points) he begins. Job done splendidly in a reasonable time, even with the extras I asked of him. Sat down after and started chatting it up and finding out that we are veterans offered us a 10% discount on the total bill. (Biggest Points)! Use these guys please, they are a class act. Passing on their name to a realtor friend of ours. Thanks again, really appreciate everything."

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.

DIY solar panel installations are hard to manage by yourself. You’ll likely need some help or prior experience to make the project worth the effort.

Removing solar panels can be straightforward, but it’s not necessarily a simple process. Your contractor needs to prevent damage—not only to your panels but also to your roof and electrical system. Many systems are wired into the main electrical grid, and you’ll need to hire a licensed electrician to disconnect it.

As long as your solar panels are properly installed without damage to your roof, they will not shorten the roof’s life span. Solar panels can act as a cover or barrier to your roof and help block external elements, such as debris, heat, and UV rays. Reduced exposure to the weather can extend your roof’s life.

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.
