"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

Installing solar panels involves drilling small holes in your roof to secure the solar panel mounting brackets. These brackets hold the solar panels in place and must withstand strong weather conditions so they’re secured into your roof. However, holes and screws are sealed to prevent leaking and further damage.

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 most cases, yes, solar panels are well worth the investment. Going solar with your home’s energy is expensive, but, in most states, the panels will pay for themselves by reducing your electric bills. Solar panels don’t produce greenhouse gasses or other pollutants, meaning you can feel good about using this renewable energy source to power your home. Plus, installing solar panels can boost your home value, helping your profit off your next home sale.

While you can minimally overshoot the number of solar panels you need for your home, it's not smart to go too far. Not only is the extra cost unnecessary, but your state may put caps on how much energy your home can produce and send back to the grid. It is always best to work with a solar energy professional to determine the best system size for you.

It’s possible that installing solar panels can lead to mold on the roof. The panels themselves are not the issue. Problems caused by improper installation—such as roof leaks and mounts that aren’t sealed properly—can cause mold. Another potential cause of mold is debris accumulation under panels, which can trap moisture. If you live somewhere with extreme snow, rain, or hail, your home could be more prone to mold.
