Q: How hard is it to install solar panels by yourself?

• <div><p>DIY solar panel installations are hard to manage by yourself. You&rsquo;ll likely need some help or prior experience to make the project worth the effort.</p></div>

Q: Are flat or pitched roofs better for solar panels?

• <div><p>You can install solar panels on a flat or pitched roof, but keep in mind that they will need to rest at a 30- to 50-degree tilt for optimal sun absorption. It costs more to install solar panels on a flat roof because you will need to install a framing system and likely hire a structural engineer. If your roof has a pitch of more than 40 degrees, it may not be a good candidate for solar panels.</p></div>

Q: Do solar panels need to be removed to replace the shingles?

• <div><p>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&rsquo;t remove or reinstall solar panels as part of a roofing project, so you&rsquo;ll need to contact your solar provider.</p></div>

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: Can you put solar panels on a metal roof?

• <div><p>You can install solar panels on a metal roof, but it will require some additional thought and care versus a traditional asphalt shingle roof. That&rsquo;s because heat dissipates off a metal roof differently than asphalt or wood, so you may need to space the panels further from the roof. However, a pro can help you with the details and provide a safe and effective installation. </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!!"
