Get matched with top solar panel pros in Ashfield, MA

Q: Does going solar really save money?

• <div><p>Yes, going solar really saves money. In fact, according to some calculations, the average homeowner who switches from electric to solar power will save almost $2,000 a year on energy costs. While buying solar panels and switching to solar can be costly up front, the savings add up over time. If you can sell back extra energy or take advantage of tax incentives, your savings can be even higher.</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: Can you put solar on a tar and gravel roof?

• <div><p>Yes, it is possible to install solar panels on a tar and gravel roof, but it is not the ideal roofing material for a solar installation. The process requires roof penetrations to install the solar racking system. While installers will seal these penetrations, they still increase the risk of leaks. This risk is higher on tar and gravel roofs, which are often flat. Flat roofs are more prone to leaks than sloped roofs because they can pool water during heavy rain and hold snow for longer periods, exposing the roof to more moisture.</p></div>

Q: Can all homes support solar panel systems?

• <div><p>Not all homes are suited for solar panel systems. Older roofs or those in poor condition may need repairs or replacement before solar panels can be installed. Some other factors to consider are the amount of sunlight your roof receives, the roof&rsquo;s orientation and pitch, and any shading from nearby trees or buildings.</p></div>

Q: Can I install solar panels by myself?

• <div><p>While you can install solar panels by yourself, it can be a complicated process full of lots of manual labor, risky roof work, and knowledge of electrical wiring. Most solar panel installation projects should be reserved for a trained professional&mdash;especially if you plan on connecting your panels to the electrical grid rather than for off-grid use, which doesn&rsquo;t require utility services.</p></div>

"Sun Bug is a 5/5 star company. I inquired with 4 solar companies and these guys stood out from the pack from day one with a responsive fast estimate, scheduling that was easy, and an installation crew who arrived on time, were neat and cleaned up every day. They did what they said they would do when they said they would do it and now my new solar panels produce enough energy to cover the average daily use, just as they planned. You must call them before you buy."

"It was pleasure to work with the All Energy Solar team for the design, installation and post installation support of my home solar power system. Every aspect of my relationship with AES was professional, supportive and actually fun. Working with Justin Growel on initial design was smooth and informative. My project manager, Carlo Maloni, provided excellent support before, during and after installation to ensure that the whole process went smoothly, including all necessary permits and inspections with local government and our power utility. I can't say enough about the excellent installation crew who were total professionals as well as friendly and answered any questions that I had during the installation process that only took a few days. I will definitely recommend All Energy Solar to other home owners looking to install a home solar system!!"
