"Icon Solar did an amazing job with the solar installation on our house. It looks awesome and was significantly less expensive that the other companies that we had quote the job even though they use the same exact inverters and panels. I couldnâ t be happier with how it turned out! I would absolutely recommend this company."

"We bought a home to rennovate and needed a good contractor to help with the major projects. John was great from the start. I had 2 companies provide estimates but it was John's knowledge and manner that lead me to work with him. He was patient until we were ready to start and kept in contact. From the first day until the last he kept us informed. We made a few changes along the way and he was flexible. He kept the project within budget and on time. Each of the workers were friendly and professional. I had a problem with the lighting switch in the kitchen after the project was finished, but they came right back within a few days and fixed it.  I would not hesitate to use them again. They will be my first call on any future projects.

"Excellent, and the serviceman was willing to initiate a conversation about whether it would be cheaper to buy the fixture from him or get it elsewhere and have him install it (turned out it worked better all round to buy it from him, but I was glad he raised the issue). Prompt, polite, professional, and since then it has been working flawlessly."

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.

The actual time it takes to construct the solar farm is relatively short, taking between 2 and 4 months on average. That timeline is dependent on site conditions, crew size, and the overall size of the solar farm.

However, the time it takes to get the ball rolling is significantly longer, ranging from 3 to 5 years. With a project of this scale, you’ll need to obtain all of the proper permits and approvals to start breaking ground, and depending on your location, that could be an extended process.

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.

Homeowners replace their solar panels after 25 years. That said, you don’t necessarily need to replace them at the 25-year mark. You’ll notice a declining ability to produce electricity over time. Most homeowners spring for a replacement when they notice their energy bills creeping up to regular levels or when solar panel repairs are extensive, frequent, and no longer economical.

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.
