Q: Can you run a well pump just on solar power?

• <div><p>You&rsquo;ll need to make sure you have a big enough solar panel to meet your well pump&rsquo;s power demands, but you can use solar power to fully operate your well pump. It&rsquo;s also a good idea to have battery storage to hold the solar power so you can still use your well pump after dark.</p></div>

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: Why not put solar panels on the roof?

• <div><p>While solar panels can be a great investment, they aren&rsquo;t ideal for every roof. For example, some roofs, especially older or structurally weak ones, may struggle to support the added weight, leading to potential damage. Roofs with complex designs, obstructions, or limited sunlight exposure might not provide optimal conditions for solar energy production. Consider these downsides when determining if <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-install-solar-panels.htm">solar panel installation costs</a> are worth it.</p></div>

Q: How do I choose the right solar system for my home?

• <div><p>Solar water heating systems are not one-size-fits-all. You'll likely work with a team of experts to get the job done&mdash;including <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/install-solar-panels/">solar panel installers</a>, <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/plumbers/">plumbers</a>, and <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/water-heater-installation/">water heater installers</a>. A specialist will help you decide if a passive or active system is best for your local weather, home layout, roof stability, and your budget.</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>
