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: Do solar panels need to be removed to replace the shingles?

• <div><p>In almost every case, solar panels need to be removed to replace roof shingles. In some cases, such as solar installations where the panels are on raised platforms above the roof surface, installers may be able to install new shingles without removing the solar installation. However, to get a quality roofing installation, panels need to come off. Most roofing contractors won&rsquo;t remove or reinstall solar panels as part of a roofing project, so you&rsquo;ll need to contact your solar provider.</p></div>

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: How many solar panels do I need for my home?

• <div><p>The average homeowner needs around <b>22 solar panels</b>, but the exact number depends on your monthly energy consumption. Your solar professional should size your array to offset your consumption, meaning you&rsquo;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.</p></div>

Q: How many hours of sunlight do you need for solar panels?

• <div><p>Solar panels should get at least four to six hours of direct sunlight daily. It&rsquo;s even better if sunlight reaches panels between the peak hours of 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. This is enough to power a home, depending on your solar system&rsquo;s size and energy needs. Remember that panels will generate some power under cloudy skies or in the shade, and many systems compensate for lower sun exposure by drawing energy from the grid or battery storage.</p></div>

"While I was very pleased with the design and installation process, the post-installation service is not responsive. One day after going live, the new Franklin WH battery system that was recommended started causing issues with production. They have been out twice to work on it, but only after multiple contacts and pleading. Currently, I have a $24K battery system I had to power down just to keep the solar system going. Unfortunately, they recommended (and I agreed) to install this cutting edge solution based on faulty manufacturer advice. Supposedly it is compatible with Enphase but in reality it is not, so it is not not their fault. I just wish there was as much energy put into getting the system operational as there seems to be with getting the system installed."

Solar Panels questions, answered by experts

While solar panels can be a great investment, they aren’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.
