"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!"
"Grateful for Larry and the entire Surge Solar team. I am confident I made the right choice with them. If you have not looked into solar yet in Illinois you should!"
"The estimator was a really friendly guy and had a lot of information about the business that Kapital is in. Fortunately, although I had lots of questions, he was not pushy on services or needlessly verbose about them which I appreciate. He seemed to get what I was asking at every step.
We asked for an estimate for EVSE. We have a parking slab off the alley (so no garage w/ electric). We talked about lots of options for that. They seemed very comfortable with our situation which isn't entirely straight forward and I really appreciated that as I was afraid that many of the installers who do this work would want to walk away from any significant work.
We received an estimate for hooking into our panel and trenching a line through the back yard to the parking slab. We discussed using an existing basketball hoop mount as the mount point which the estimator was happy to consider (the stands for chargers are insanely expensive). We talked about solar on homes and parking canopies with solar as well.
Overall we are not ready to take the dive with this yet but I've come away with a decent understanding of the service, cost, and more. Kapital will be first on our list when it's time to move.

"Art performed a quick and professional installation. The solatube installed in the kitchen provides a lot of needed natural light. Also, my existing attic fan had not functioned for several years, and Art suggested the solar powered fan. Art and Steve removed my old fan and installed the new solar fan. Great job all around. "
"It's-12 and my water is still operable. I'm so happy. 13 years of freezing pipes appears to be over. Olivia was an absolute joy to deal with. Would definitely recommend"
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 shingles and solar panels are not the same. While solar shingles use the same technology as traditional solar panels, they integrate with your existing roof. That means they are used to build your roof instead of simply resting on top of it. When comparing solar shingles and solar panels, it's helpful to know that solar shingles are more aesthetically pleasing than solar roof panels. They also do better in harsh weather due to limited uplift from strong winds.
Rooftop solar panels supply energy to a single household, where a solar farm can power multiple homes at once with clean energy. Residential rooftop solar panels cost more per watt with a lower project total, and those panels only service the residence they are installed on (in most circumstances). With a solar farm, multiple households can buy into the project and share the overall cost.
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.
Yes, a solar panel can power a TV without a battery, but only if the sun is shining and the panel is generating enough energy. Your solar panel and TV must have the same voltage, and you should install a charge controller and inverter between them so power surges don’t destroy your TV. To watch TV at night, in the early morning and late afternoon, and on cloudy days, your home must be tied to the power grid.
