"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

In most cases, solar panels are covered by homeowners insurance because they are considered a permanently attached part of the home, and you may not need additional coverage. However, it is essential to read the fine print of your specific policy to understand the extent of the coverage, as some policies might only cover certain types of damage, such as hail. Always check with your insurance provider before installing solar panels to ensure your policy provides adequate coverage for your investment.

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 time it takes to install solar panels depends on the number of panels and the size of your home, but installation takes between two and three days of work. While most contractors can install the panels over the course of a couple of days, switching to solar energy can take two to three months in total. This includes the time it takes to design the system, procure the parts, obtain the permits, install the panels, connect to the main power grid, and get an inspection.

  • 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.

If you’re deciding between a solar battery versus a generator 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’t have many ongoing costs.
