Q: Do solar installers need to be licensed or certified?

• <div><p>In most states, solar installers need to be licensed and insured as solar professionals, although some states don&rsquo;t have specific requirements for installers. You can use our <a href="https://www.angi.com/angi-license-check.htm">state licensing tool</a> to check if an installer you&rsquo;re considering hiring holds the proper licensing. No matter where you live, a member of your solar panel installation company must be a certified electrician to connect your panels to your home and the electric grid.</p></div>

Q: How can I save money on solar panels?

• <div><p>The best way to save money on solar panels is to take advantage of <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/am-i-eligible-energy-efficiency-tax-credit.htm">federal and state solar incentives</a>. For example, the solar investment tax credit (ITC) offered by the federal government can save 30% of your total&mdash;if you can take the entire credit, which is based on income taxes owed&mdash;or an average of around <b>$9,000</b>. You can check the Database of State Incentives for Renewables and Efficiency (DSIRE) for state and local incentives that could save you even more.</p></div>

Q: How do you mount solar panels for a well pump?

• <div><p>The best solar-panel mounting system will depend on your property layout, but you&rsquo;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.</p></div>

Q: Should I buy a solar battery or a generator?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re deciding between a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/solar-batteries-vs-generators.htm">solar battery versus a generator</a> for the best backup power solution, you can take a few factors into consideration. Solar batteries are quiet while generators can be quite loud. Generators have a lower up-front cost, but they require fuel and ongoing maintenance while solar batteries are more expensive but don&rsquo;t have many ongoing costs. </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>
