Q: Do solar shingles qualify for tax credits?

• <div><p>Solar roofing shingles may qualify for significant federal tax incentives through programs like the Residential Clean Energy Credit, which offers up to <b>30%</b> of installation costs through 2032. State and local governments often provide additional credits, and utility companies may offer further rebates or net metering programs, depending on the state. Just look into the qualification requirements beforehand because installation, documentation, and technical standards can impact eligibility. Consult the current guidelines and a tax professional to maximize available benefits.</p></div>

Q: Are insurance companies against solar panels?

• <div><p>Insurance companies aren&rsquo;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&mdash;this, in turn, can increase insurance company liability and payouts. However, you&rsquo;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.</p></div>

Q: Do solar panels shorten roof life?

• <div><p>As long as your solar panels are properly installed without damage to your roof, they will not shorten the roof&rsquo;s life span. Solar panels can act as a cover or barrier to your roof and help block external elements, such as debris, heat, and UV rays. Reduced exposure to the weather can extend your roof&rsquo;s life.</p></div>

Q: Why shouldn't you put solar panels on your roof?

• <div><p>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&rsquo;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&rsquo;t be an issue if you hire a reputable company.</p></div>

Q: Can I hook up a solar panel directly to a battery?

• <div><p>You shouldn&rsquo;t hook up a solar panel directly to a battery. That can damage the solar battery and your appliances over time. Instead, install a charge controller between your solar panel and solar battery. Charge controllers regulate voltage, prevent overcharging, and minimize the amount of electrical current to protect your battery from voltage spikes.</p></div>

I purchased a coupon for a service panel replacement but neglected to note I had a 200amp panel and the deal only covered one for 100amps. A rep from Branch Electric got in touch with me immediately and helped me process my options. Though I didn't not decide to have the panel changed this year,...
