"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."

"This was in freezing conditions in an unheated seasonal camp. I took advantage of GSC Electric's Special Offer on Angie's list for a service panel replacement. The existing panel was put in sometime in the 1930's. It was a 60 amp service with only 4 circuits, each, it was discovered, overloaded. Greg had to deal with old wiring, pipes, and crawling under the place to route wires, and even had to drive  grounding rods into the frozen dirt. Just about everything he looked at had been done wrong. Fortunately, he made time to rewire  a 220 outlet and relocate the plug for the range for me. Lots more to be done, too. He does a great job. Take advantage of his specials like I did and you won't be disappointed.

Solar Panels FAQs, answered by experts

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’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.

Learn about common solar blockers in your area to determine how often you should wash solar panels and the best cleaning method:

  • Soot: If you have a fireplace, soot can disperse and accumulate on the solar panels.

  • Debris, dirt, and leaves: These natural elements require light cleaning. Being close to trees or living in a desert area can cause more of these to accumulate.

  • Pollen: Areas with a high pollen count require more frequent solar panel cleaning, and sticky plant material requires a deeper cleaning.

  • Bird droppings: Bird droppings are binding and more difficult to remove. Keep this in mind if you live near a lot of surrounding trees. 

Although solar panels harness the sun's power, they come at an environmental cost. The manufacturing process requires large amounts of water and involves hazardous materials like cadmium, silicon, and gallium arsenide. These materials don’t pose safety hazards while the panels are in use but can pose a problem when left in landfills. Over time, hazardous materials can leach into the environment. This is why recycling solar panels whenever possible is better than taking them to landfills.

The best way to know if your roof can support solar panels is to hire a structural engineer. They’ll look at your roof and approve the design of your solar panel system or suggest changes. The best roofing for solar panels is made from strong materials like asphalt shingles and metal, but tile and gravel will work. Softer materials like thatch or temporary structures are not a good fit.

On average, a typical fridge uses 115 kWh per month. With eight hours of sunlight per day, a 100-watt solar panel can produce 30 kWh per month. This means you’ll need at least four dedicated panels to power the refrigerator with solar energy. Consult with a solar power specialist to get a more accurate estimate.
