We love what we do. We design and install roof and ground mounted solar systems using state of the art software that gives you accurate projections of your energy production. All our solar equipment is Tier 1; monocrystalline 25 year solar panels, inverters, and batteries, depending on the type of solar system you want. We handle everything from start to finish, including the utility interconnection process. When we're done, you own the system and the power it produces. When it comes to roofing, we pump out our own 24 gauge, double lock standing seam panels and custom bend all our own trim. We install asphalt shingles, corrugated steel, and flat rubber (EPDM) roofing as well. We are respectful, clean, thorough, and do extremely high quality work!

"Great job, was done in 2 days, very professional."

Solar Panels questions, answered by experts

The best solar-panel mounting system will depend on your property layout, but you’ll typically want to try for south-facing panels to get the most sun. Roof mounting and wall mounting are both popular, but if your well setup is far away from buildings and other structures you can also set up a freestanding aluminum frame to mount your panels.

While you can minimally overshoot the number of solar panels you need for your home, it's not smart to go too far. Not only is the extra cost unnecessary, but your state may put caps on how much energy your home can produce and send back to the grid. It is always best to work with a solar energy professional to determine the best system size for you.

Solar shingles last between 20 and 30 years, which is about as long as solar panels and standard asphalt shingles last. Their exact life span depends on the manufacturer and the quality of installation. You can increase the longevity of your solar shingles by conducting regular inspections and maintenance and making any necessary repairs as quickly as possible.

Installing solar panels involves drilling small holes in your roof to secure the solar panel mounting brackets. These brackets hold the solar panels in place and must withstand strong weather conditions so they’re secured into your roof. However, holes and screws are sealed to prevent leaking and further damage.

  • Installing a new electrical meter box

  • Replacing your meter base

  • Replacing your service entrance cable 

The cost to install or upgrade an electrical meter box ranges from $100 to $650, including $50 to $250 for the unit. The meter base passes the power from your electric company to your panel. The cost to replace a meter base is roughly $50 to $250. 

Service entrance cables are electrical cables with multiple wires, bringing power from electrical companies to residential buildings. The cost to replace a service entrance cable ranges roughly from $1,000 to $1,500.
