"BUYER BEWARE Old Generator was replaced as contracted. Need to understand that GRE only installs the generator box. I learned the hard way that homeowner needs to worry about gas hookup, the electrical switchover connections and if the house gets enough power from the generator when you loose electricity. Getting the unit to function right required multiple visits which should have been done/tested during install: 0. After GRE installed the generator and said good to go.... 1. Gas company came to connect the generator - how can you say job is done if gas not connected and tested? Gas company just connects pipe they don't test the generator. Generator did not work after gas company left. 2. Install right size regulator on the generator - which GRE did after calling to say the generator didn't work. I was told they did me a favor by replacing it and that gas company should have done that. 3. Install internal gas orifice connector for Propane versus natural gas (this connector comes with the generator) - which GRE did during regulator install. Again I was told they did me a favor putting the right orifice connector on. How do you not know to do this during install with propane tank cover sitting 30 feet away from generator 4. Tests to see if generator worked. After multiple storms house power did not switch over. Had electrician out multiple times to test switch over. Switchover worked during these visits. However, after a storm, house did not get enough power. 5. Throughout the last 3 years each time we called with a concern about house not getting power after a storm we were told we needed to buy an annual service contract. To which we said no thanks we would get the unit serviced as needed. Also reminded that as long as generator turned on they were done and it was my problem. 6. Final straw was we contacted GRE stating that Generator Service light was on. Told it would require a diagnostic charge of $250 and if service was needed it would be an additional $450. I have the text from the tech! Paid the $250 up front. He shows up, proceeds to tell me it needs service and that he wasn't prepared to do it. In addition, he rehashes the last 3 years blames our contractor and calls me a liar about our experiences with the generator. Then leaves saying get someone else to service the generator. I consider myself a very reasonable person. I just want the $13,000+ generator unit to function properly after we loose power. Early on I was surprised by the attitude that It was my problem after the box was bolted to the cement. I appreciated BRE fixing the regulator and installing the propane adapter after learning the parts were wrong. But the professionalism went down hill every time I said I didn't want a maintenance contract. I was willing to pay for the service today but was called arrogant and a liar by the tech! Buyer beware."

"Work has been scheduled for early in 2019, but they could not have been more helpful and professional in explaining our options, how our home would get the most out of the panels, and how much we are likely to save. They were explicit about costs and available rebates. We were instructed to apply for a rebate from our local energy supplier and they literally walked us through the time specific rebate procedure. We made some minor changes to their standard contract and they accepted those changes without question. I can only assume their work will be up to these standards when we do the actual installation."

Solar Panels questions, answered by experts

You can install solar panels on a metal roof, but it will require some additional thought and care versus a traditional asphalt shingle roof. That’s because heat dissipates off a metal roof differently than asphalt or wood, so you may need to space the panels further from the roof. However, a pro can help you with the details and provide a safe and effective installation.

No, you cannot turn on a new solar system before inspection. The inspector checks that the system is correctly connected to the grid and that safety components and features are in place. This process prevents problems on the electrical grid and offers protection against fire in your home. 

Your local utility company may also require inspection documentation before you can connect to the grid. An inspection can ensure solar power efficiency and determine how you might increase it.

Homeowners replace their solar panels after 25 years. That said, you don’t necessarily need to replace them at the 25-year mark. You’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.

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. 

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’t remove or reinstall solar panels as part of a roofing project, so you’ll need to contact your solar provider.
