"We had extensive damage to our solar panel wiring from squirrels. Tim did a thorough and careful job repairing the wiring and installing exclusion screens. He was responsive, reliable, and expert. His work quality is excellent, and his pricing, fair - we highly recommend him!"

"My thermostat panel burned out. I was under warranty, fortunately. The panel was no longer being made so they replaced it with an upgraded thermostat panel at no cost. All I paid for was Labor. I have been using FourSeasons for many years and although they are a bit pricey, they are very professional and always get the job done. They also replaced the Circuit board on my furnace at no cost."

"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.

Thanks guys!

"We were very impressed with Chris and Millenium Solar and will definitely use them again. Great communication setting up appointment, he called the day before to confirm the appointment and then showed up on time. He was courteous and professional and was able to finish not just the two jobs we were hoping for but also a third he still had time for. Great experience!!

Solar Panels FAQs, answered by experts

No, you cannot turn on a new solar system before inspection. The inspector checks that the system is correctly connected to the grid and that safety components and features are in place. This process prevents problems on the electrical grid and offers protection against fire in your home. 

Your local utility company may also require inspection documentation before you can connect to the grid. An inspection can ensure solar power efficiency and determine how you might increase it.

In almost every case, solar panels need to be removed to replace roof shingles. In some cases, such as solar installations where the panels are on raised platforms above the roof surface, installers may be able to install new shingles without removing the solar installation. However, to get a quality roofing installation, panels need to come off. Most roofing contractors won’t remove or reinstall solar panels as part of a roofing project, so you’ll need to contact your solar provider.

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.

DIY solar panel installations are hard to manage by yourself. You’ll likely need some help or prior experience to make the project worth the effort.

Solar panels can protect your roof from hail, as they can withstand hail up to 1 inch in diameter that falls up to 50 mph. Your solar panels may experience damage if the hailstones are bigger and travel faster. Your roof can still suffer hail damage, and it’s essential to look for signs and repair issues right away. Roof damage can lead to leaks and water damage inside your home.
