Get matched with top solar panel pros in Welch, MN

Q: What are the best solar panels to withstand hail?

• <div><p>The best solar panels to withstand hail are those rated UL 61730. These solar panels are certified to withstand hailstones up to 3 inches in diameter and travel at speeds up to 88 mph. IP68 solar panels are the next most resilient solar panel. Solar panels without these ratings can handle hail up to 1 inch in diameter that travels up to 50 miles per hour. If you live in an area with frequent or severe hailstorms, purchasing UL 61730 solar panels is often worth the investment.</p></div>

Q: When is the best time to install solar panels?

• <div><p>Depending on the climate in your area, the best time to install solar panels is either winter or early spring. Summer is a fine time to install panels, too, but it tends to be the busy season, so prices may be higher and companies may have packed schedules. The installation process can take more time than expected between getting permits and finalizing a design, so start as soon as you can.</p></div>

Q: Do you have to climb on the roof to install solar tubing?

• <div><p>Yes, you have to get on the roof to cut a hole for solar tubing. It's not possible to complete the job from inside your house by simply cutting through the ceiling. So if you want to go the DIY route, remember to use <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-learn-ladder-safety.htm">safe ladder practices</a>. If you&rsquo;re not comfortable climbing on your roof to install solar tubes, hire a pro who has the tools and expertise to do the job safely.</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: 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>

Our crew did a great job. They were on-time the day of the service and the installation was done quickly with excellent clean up afterwards. It wasn't just a one or two man deal. There were five or six people working on the project. Nicely done.
