"Let me tell you about my journey to get solar panels installed at my house. We started several years ago thinking about solar and possibly having panels installed on our house. Unfortunately, our house is not a good candidate because of the number of trees we have. We were quite disappointed and shelved the idea. During this past Spring we talked to several local businesses about solar panel installation and started researching again. We decided to see if we could do an in-yard system and it seemed like it was possible. After more exploration we met one of the owners of Champion Solar of Winona, MN. During our conversation with him we decided to explore a design for our backyard. We also talked to a neighbor who has a roof mounted system from Champion Solar. After some consideration we thought Champion Solar would work for us and signed the contract. I am very happy with Champion Solar and the service they provided. The installation process was smooth and the employees were very knowledgeable and helpful. The solar arrays are working great and I am starting to save money on my electricity bill. I would highly recommend Champion Solar to anyone considering solar panels. Here is what impressed me with the entire process of getting my in-ground solar array installed: * Knowledgeable and helpful employees. From the owner, project manager, foreman, master electrician, site engineer, they all worked together as a team and there was no job too big nor too small for any of them to contribute *The team went the extra mile and let two young boys, neighbor children (5 and 8 years old), help during one day of the project. The boys even ate lunch in our yard with the team. And at the end of the project they wrote each boy a very nice thank you card * Design process was easy and it did not take too many iterations to achieve an appropriate sized system that maximized our arrays, while accommodating our electric companyâ s needs, and getting us the maximum rebate. We have two arrays, one facing south (16 panels) and one facing southwest (10 panels) * The price was good and they guided us through tax credits and rebates * They worked through all approval processes to get the job okayed and started * They worked fast requiring four days of work to build the rack system for the panels, do the electrical work for the interconnection, trench the yard for the power lines etc., install the panels and micro-inverters, and finishing work * Smooth installation process plus the team was present for inspections and the interconnection to the electrical coop * Solar arrays are working great and I am starting to save money on the electricity bill Overall, I am very happy with Champion Solar and the service they provided. I would highly recommend them to anyone considering solar panels."

"Shawn Seerup came to our home to inspect our roof for hail and thunderstorm damage. Shawn did not any find any issues with our roof. However, we had another roofing company who told us that our roof was damaged by hail and thunderstorm. Shawn was very professional and honest. He did a good job taking his time to inspect our roof thoroughly, checked siding, gutters, and other areas. I would recommend Three Rivers Contracting if you need any roofing, Solar installation, and home improvements."

Solar Panels questions, answered by experts

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—especially if you plan on connecting your panels to the electrical grid rather than for off-grid use, which doesn’t require utility services.

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.

Yes, it is possible to install solar panels on a tar and gravel roof, but it is not the ideal roofing material for a solar installation. The process requires roof penetrations to install the solar racking system. While installers will seal these penetrations, they still increase the risk of leaks. This risk is higher on tar and gravel roofs, which are often flat. Flat roofs are more prone to leaks than sloped roofs because they can pool water during heavy rain and hold snow for longer periods, exposing the roof to more moisture.

The average homeowner needs around 22 solar panels, but the exact number depends on your monthly energy consumption. Your solar professional should size your array to offset your consumption, meaning you’ll need fewer panels if you use below-average amounts of electricity, or more than 22 if you use above-average amounts of electricity. The number of panels also depends on the output of each panel. The average is around 400 watts, but you might need more panels if you install less capable equipment. Since there are so many variables, you should have a professional size your system.
