Unfortunately, we no longer accept requests through Angi or Homeadvisor due to the number of fake contacts we have received. So, if you would like to contact us here at GRID, you must do so directly through our website or phone. If you would like more information, you can either call or text our toll free number 833-474-3552, or visit our website www.GRIDSOLARLLC.com\n\nWe are a locally owned and operated solar company. We have seen the gimmicks and scams the big companies have been using and decided educate people about how solar REALLY works. We sell fewer systems because of how we operate, but we're okay with that because we do it the right way. \n\nThanks!

Solar Panels questions, answered by experts

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.

Solar well pumps range from needing 200 watts of power to as much as 12,000 watts for heavy-duty pumps. Since the most common and cost-friendly solar panels are 100-watt panels, you’ll need between two and 12 panels. The average is between two and eight panels for standard pumps. Based on the average cost of solar panels ($1 to $1.50 per watt), you’d pay between $200 and $1,800 for your well pump solar panels—not including installation.

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.

While solar panels can be a great investment, they aren’t ideal for every roof. For example, some roofs, especially older or structurally weak ones, may struggle to support the added weight, leading to potential damage. Roofs with complex designs, obstructions, or limited sunlight exposure might not provide optimal conditions for solar energy production. Consider these downsides when determining if solar panel installation costs are worth it.

Yes, solar panel installation will require permits. The required permits will depend on where you live, as some states and cities have solar-specific permits, while others only require electrical permits to connect to the grid. In either case, it’s best to hire a reputable solar installer in your area, as a representative should handle all of the necessary permitting for you and will include the cost of the permits in your initial solar estimate.
