"A family of raccoons took up residence under our solar panels and caused significant damage to our roof. I initially tried to arrange a solar panel inspection with the company that installed them for us, but felt like I was being given the runaround when it came to quoting and scheduling the work, so I gave up and decided to take a flier on Green Sun Energy, and I'm glad I did - they quoted the work, we booked an appointment a few days later, then they did (as best as I can tell) a thorough inspection of the system. I intend to hire GSE again for related mitigation work later this summer and would highly recommend them to others who may require their services."

"Professional, responsive, and efficient. Sunup Solar designed and installed our off-grid system during late winter and fit into our time crunch to move into our new home. We are ecstatic to show photos and tell others how an off-grid lifestyle can be modern, and in our case, even within sight of on-grid neighbors. During the hottest days we run AC without worrying about a power bill, and when a summer storm hits our lights never go out. Our home has become an example for countless family and friends to consider building off-grid, and we continue to recommend Sunup Solar to folks across New England. Thank you Hunter and your team for powering our dream home."

"Garfield is a professional who is very knowledgeable about residential solar programs. With his skills I was able to get qualified for the federal incentives that required no up front cost solar installations. Now I'm in process of getting solar on my second home also. I would definitely recommend Garfield."

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.

Solar shingles and solar panels are not the same. While solar shingles use the same technology as traditional solar panels, they integrate with your existing roof. That means they are used to build your roof instead of simply resting on top of it. When comparing solar shingles and solar panels, it's helpful to know that solar shingles are more aesthetically pleasing than solar roof panels. They also do better in harsh weather due to limited uplift from strong winds.

Yes, solar panel installation will require permits. The required permits will depend on where you live, as some states and cities have solar-specific permits, while others only require electrical permits to connect to the grid. In either case, it’s best to hire a reputable solar installer in your area, as a representative should handle all of the necessary permitting for you and will include the cost of the permits in your initial solar estimate.

Removing solar panels can be straightforward, but it’s not necessarily a simple process. Your contractor needs to prevent damage—not only to your panels but also to your roof and electrical system. Many systems are wired into the main electrical grid, and you’ll need to hire a licensed electrician to disconnect it.

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’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’t be an issue if you hire a reputable company.
