"the completed job looks great totally satisfied with the end result! but just one minor complaint and as far as contractors go this is minor. when i was given the quote the guy who gave the quote was not 100% sure the size and color of materials needed was in stock at the supply house and supply house was closed that day so he could not call and ask but he said he thought they would be in stock. ended up not being in stock and they had trouble getting the materials. no one called to inform me of this situation a simple voicemail would have been nice i had to call them after the given timeline for install had passed. lucky we had an unusually warm winter so far with no snow or i would have been waiting till spring. they did a great job on the install looks great. but i had to ding them on responsiveness for not picking up a phone when the materials thing went squirrely. they were not the cheapest quote i got but they are a local company been around a long time and offered a 10 year warranty and I have no doubt they will still be around in 10 years if i need it."

Solar Panels questions, answered by experts

While you can install solar panels by yourself, it can be a complicated process full of lots of manual labor, risky roof work, and knowledge of electrical wiring. Most solar panel installation projects should be reserved for a trained professional—especially if you plan on connecting your panels to the electrical grid rather than for off-grid use, which doesn’t require utility services.

Although solar panels harness the sun's power, they come at an environmental cost. The manufacturing process requires large amounts of water and involves hazardous materials like cadmium, silicon, and gallium arsenide. These materials don’t pose safety hazards while the panels are in use but can pose a problem when left in landfills. Over time, hazardous materials can leach into the environment. This is why recycling solar panels whenever possible is better than taking them to landfills.

Solar shingles last between 20 and 30 years, which is about as long as solar panels and standard asphalt shingles last. Their exact life span depends on the manufacturer and the quality of installation. You can increase the longevity of your solar shingles by conducting regular inspections and maintenance and making any necessary repairs as quickly as possible.

Insurance companies aren’t against solar panels, but they may have concerns about the risks and costs of insuring solar. The type of policy, where you live, and the insurance company itself matter. Extreme weather can damage solar panels, and faulty installation or electrical malfunctions pose a fire risk—this, in turn, can increase insurance company liability and payouts. However, you’re likely to keep coverage as long as you have a pro install the solar system, keep it maintained, can pass a solar panel inspection, and update your homeowners policy to include solar.

A few disadvantages of installing solar panels on your roof include the high up-front costs and the potential for increased property taxes. Installing solar panels can increase the home’s value, which in turn can mean higher taxes. Depending on your area, you should check with your local tax offices for more information. Another potential pitfall is roof leaks from a poor installation, but this shouldn’t be an issue if you hire a reputable company.
