"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

In most states, solar installers need to be licensed and insured as solar professionals, although some states don’t have specific requirements for installers. You can use our state licensing tool to check if an installer you’re considering hiring holds the proper licensing. No matter where you live, a member of your solar panel installation company must be a certified electrician to connect your panels to your home and the electric grid.

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.

Professionals use the same methods to install solar shingles that they do for asphalt shingles, so you’ll often see a similar installation timeline of one to two days. The amount of time required will depend on the size and slope of your roof and the number of shingles installed. Weather conditions can delay installation, as working on a roof is unsafe during high winds or heavy rain.

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 .

The morning sun can be better for solar panels because it’s often brighter and clearer than the afternoon sun. The brighter the sun, the more energy solar panels produce. The strongest rays occur during midday, which tends to be prime time for solar energy generation. Most homes get a mix of morning and afternoon sunlight.
