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: What are some of the most common solar panel blockers?

• <div><p>Learn about common solar blockers in your area to determine how often you should wash solar panels and the best cleaning method:</p><ul><li><p><b>Soot: </b>If you have a fireplace, soot can disperse and accumulate on the solar panels.</p></li><li><p><b>Debris, dirt, and leaves: </b>These natural elements require light cleaning. Being close to trees or living in a desert area can cause more of these to accumulate.</p></li><li><p><b>Pollen:</b> Areas with a high pollen count require more frequent solar panel cleaning, and sticky plant material requires a deeper cleaning.</p></li><li><p><b>Bird droppings:</b> Bird droppings are binding and more difficult to remove. Keep this in mind if you live near a lot of surrounding trees. </p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: How long does it take to build a solar farm?

• <div><p>The actual time it takes to construct the solar farm is relatively short, taking between <b>2 and 4 months</b> on average. That timeline is dependent on site conditions, crew size, and the overall size of the solar farm.</p><p>However, the time it takes to get the ball rolling is significantly longer, ranging from 3 to 5 years. With a project of this scale, you&rsquo;ll need to obtain all of the proper permits and approvals to start breaking ground, and depending on your location, that could be an extended process. </p></div>

Q: Can you put solar on a tar and gravel roof?

• <div><p>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.</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>

"They did excellent job and were professional from beginning to end! I had another solar panel company come before SunPro. They told me I was not allowed to get solar panels because my bill did not reach a certain amount. Which Sunpro did not tell me. They put the panels were I wanted them to go, and were extremely professional. I have the service representative, Cara, in my phone and any time that I need something or have a question she is there. Very knowledgeable and they answer at all hours."

Solar Panels questions, answered by experts

Solar water heating systems are not one-size-fits-all. You'll likely work with a team of experts to get the job done—including solar panel installers, plumbers, and water heater installers. 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.

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.

The actual time it takes to construct the solar farm is relatively short, taking between 2 and 4 months on average. That timeline is dependent on site conditions, crew size, and the overall size of the solar farm.

However, the time it takes to get the ball rolling is significantly longer, ranging from 3 to 5 years. With a project of this scale, you’ll need to obtain all of the proper permits and approvals to start breaking ground, and depending on your location, that could be an extended process.
