"Sunivation was our hero! When our original solar panel company, Sun Power, went out of business we did not have anyone to service or repair our system. Tim and Sunivation came to the rescue. He was able to find our problem within minutes, install replacement parts, and had our system up and running in no time. Not to mention the original defective parts he replaced just about started a fire. He was professional, polite, and informative. From now on Tim and Sunivation will be my first call whenever I have an issue with my solar panels. Thanks for everything Tim!"

"The technicians that I had come to my rental homes were fantastic. Each visit I learned something new from the technicians. They're very polite and sociable. They not only checked the AC out, but they took the panels off and sprayed the coils with a hose to remove the buildup of debris. The technician also found a Capacitor that was not within working margins and replaced it as a part of my warranty."

"I found Millennium Solar Electric through an Angie's List offer to have an electrical panel replaced with an upgraded panel with a whole home surge protector where you have to pay for the service in full before scheduling the services. Paying a service provider in full before they do any work is quite the leap of faith and goes against rules of dealing with service providers but it is the only way to take advantage of the offers. In an attempt to protect myself I contacted Millennium prior to making payment. The company did not respond to contact attempts through Angie's List email and chat service. I attempted to contact them several times that way throughout October 2017. I finally got in touch with them on November 1st. They apologized for not responding to my attempts to contact them through Angie's List. November 17th was earliest he could schedule my appointment. The work seemed to go off without much of a hitch. When they finished installing the panel, the workers left without much explanation of what what done. I noticed after they left that one of the breakers was not turned on. It was the breaker connected to the whole home surge protector. I wasn't sure if it was supposed to be on or off so I called the company and had to leave a message. A few days later I finally received a response telling me that the breaker should have indeed been turned on. OK, I thought, not a big deal. A week later I noticed that my outdoor security light was no longer working. It was working prior to the installation of the panel. So again I had to call the company. I called on December 1st, left a message. He called me back, stated that he knew what probably went wrong with the wiring when he reconnected the panel but said that he would me back to schedule a time to come correct the problem. I didn't hear back that day so I called on December 4th, 5th, and 6th. On the 6th I again explained the issue as he didn't seem to remember and we made an appointment for December 11th to correct the problem. So I took off work and waited for him to come correct the issue. Guess what....I didn't hear from him on December 11th. I called and find out what happened and the calls went directly to voice mail. I waited an hour and called again and left a message. That is where our story ends for now. I must not contemplate having another company correct the issue which would mean I would have to sue this company for whatever the amount I am charged to have the light fixed. Between December 11th and December 14th, the owner, Christopher Williams and I had a couple of exchanges via text. I think in the end, Mr. Williams understood my frustration and on December 16th he came out as promised (actually he was early) and corrected the issue with the outdoor security light. Now that my issues are resolved I have a much more favorable view of the company."

Solar Panels questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

There are a few great questions to ask a solar contractor or inspector when you speak to them. You’ll probably want to find out about the energy yield and efficiency of your array, ensuring the actual output matches the amount you calculated when installing the array in the first place. It’s also a good idea to find out about any damage or wear and tear on the array and to inquire about how soon you need to make repairs or replacements to essential components.

Solar shingles typically last between 20 and 30 years, a lifespan comparable to that of traditional solar panels and standard asphalt shingles. The exact duration depends on the manufacturer and the quality of the installation. Because solar shingles are a newer technology, there is limited data on their actual long-term performance. Factors that can impact their durability and longevity include weather conditions, roof ventilation, and regular maintenance. To extend the life of your solar shingles, you should conduct regular inspections and cleaning, and make any necessary repairs as quickly as possible.
