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—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>

Can solar panels be easily removed?

• <div><p>Removing solar panels can be straightforward, but it’s not necessarily a simple process. Your contractor needs to prevent damage—not only to your panels but also to your roof and electrical system. Many systems are wired into the main electrical grid, and you’ll need to hire a licensed electrician to disconnect it.</p></div>

What questions should I ask a solar panel company before hiring?

• <div><p>There are a few qualifying questions you should ask a <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/install-solar-panels/">local solar panel company</a> before hiring them:</p><ul><li><p>Will you handle permits for the installation?</p></li><li><p>Does your total price include the equipment and labor?</p></li><li><p>How long do you expect the installation process to take?</p></li><li><p>What kind of workmanship warranty do you include with your installations?</p></li><li><p>Who should I contact if I have a problem with my system after installation?</p></li><li><p>Do you install the panels or outsource the work to third parties?</p></li><li><p>Will you file for solar incentives for me?</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: How often should solar panels be replaced?

• <div><p>Homeowners replace their solar panels after 25 years. That said, you don&rsquo;t necessarily need to replace them at the 25-year mark. You&rsquo;ll notice a declining ability to produce electricity over time. Most homeowners spring for a replacement when they notice their energy bills creeping up to regular levels or when solar panel repairs are extensive, frequent, and no longer economical. </p></div>

Q: Can solar panels be easily removed?

• <div><p>Removing solar panels can be straightforward, but it&rsquo;s not necessarily a simple process. Your contractor needs to prevent damage&mdash;not only to your panels but also to your roof and electrical system. Many systems are wired into the main electrical grid, and you&rsquo;ll need to hire a licensed electrician to disconnect it.</p></div>

Q: Are flat or pitched roofs better for solar panels?

• <div><p>You can install solar panels on a flat or pitched roof, but keep in mind that they will need to rest at a 30- to 50-degree tilt for optimal sun absorption. It costs more to install solar panels on a flat roof because you will need to install a framing system and likely hire a structural engineer. If your roof has a pitch of more than 40 degrees, it may not be a good candidate for solar panels.</p></div>

They offered to do the job -- cleaning out the stopped up kitchen sink drain -- for the flat rate of $300. I told them I had previously hired Len the Plumber to do the job last time I had a plugged drain. They quoted $250, but when their 20' long snake wouldn't reach the clog, they brought in...
