Get matched with top solar panel pros in Biscoe, NC

Q: What is the life expectancy of a solar panel?

• <div><p>Most solar panels last 25 to 30 years and have a warranty to match. Over time, you&rsquo;ll see a diminishing electrical output. This is normal wear, but certain things can hasten solar degradation. These include heavy rainfall, high temperatures, constant humidity that corrodes the frame, and cracks or chips in the glass.</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>

Q: Can I hook up a solar panel directly to a battery?

• <div><p>You shouldn&rsquo;t hook up a solar panel directly to a battery. That can damage the solar battery and your appliances over time. Instead, install a charge controller between your solar panel and solar battery. Charge controllers regulate voltage, prevent overcharging, and minimize the amount of electrical current to protect your battery from voltage spikes.</p></div>

Q: Do solar panels increase the value of my home?

• <div><p>Correctly installed solar panels will increase the value of your home by around 4%. With the median home sale set at $429,000, this means an increase of approximately $17,000. Many home buyers want to switch to solar, making homes that have this feature tempting and worth the investment compared to homes that are only tied to the grid. Other solar features, like <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/solar-shed-hassle-free-and-energy-efficient.htm">a shed with solar panels</a>, will also boost your home&rsquo;s value. </p></div>

Q: Can all homes support solar panel systems?

• <div><p>Not all homes are suited for solar panel systems. Older roofs or those in poor condition may need repairs or replacement before solar panels can be installed. Some other factors to consider are the amount of sunlight your roof receives, the roof&rsquo;s orientation and pitch, and any shading from nearby trees or buildings.</p></div>

Alan is very knowledgeable and performs good work. The inspector commented on the high quality of the work he performed for me (installation of sub panel on 2nd floor). I will hire him again for my next electrical project.

Natural Home Lite installed a sun tunnel in my living room foyer. I am as pleased as when they installed my solar tubes several years ago. The young man who installed did a great job and it was quick and very professionally done.

We don't appreciate the "Jesus fish" religious symbol you put on our electrical panel. While you are absolutely welcome to your own beliefs, putting them on display in our home is an unwelcome intrusion.
