"After interviewing a few local solar companies, we were most impressed by the professionalism and knowledge of Mike, the owner. We are so glad we did bc everything went so smooth. Mike and his crew went above and beyond and charged a more than fair price compared with the other estimates we got. My wife and I are loving our new power system all from the sun! Sol farm is the best!"

"This was a wonderful experience from start to finish.  We were in need of dedicated 20 amp outlets to run kilns in our garage.  We also have a spare refrigerator that needed its own outlet.  2 new flourescent light fixtures were installed for extra lighting over our workbench.  This was not an easy job since our breaker box was full and running wiring through the walls was challenging.  Ralph performed the work and did a beautiful job.  He also does great sheetrock patch work where he needed to cut into the sheetrock to run wiring.  We would definately hire Ralph again.

Solar Panels questions, answered by experts

Although solar panels harness the sun's power, they come at an environmental cost. The manufacturing process requires large amounts of water and involves hazardous materials like cadmium, silicon, and gallium arsenide. These materials don’t pose safety hazards while the panels are in use but can pose a problem when left in landfills. Over time, hazardous materials can leach into the environment. This is why recycling solar panels whenever possible is better than taking them to landfills.

Solar panels can pay for themselves in five to 15 years, depending on the cost of your system, how much energy it generates, whether you qualify for incentives or power buybacks, and the price of energy in your area. Solar panels pay for themselves over time as they lower electricity bills, so it will take time to recoup your initial investment. However, the longer you have your system, the more money you can save and earn.

  • Installing a new electrical meter box

  • Replacing your meter base

  • Replacing your service entrance cable 

The cost to install or upgrade an electrical meter box ranges from $100 to $650, including $50 to $250 for the unit. The meter base passes the power from your electric company to your panel. The cost to replace a meter base is roughly $50 to $250. 

Service entrance cables are electrical cables with multiple wires, bringing power from electrical companies to residential buildings. The cost to replace a service entrance cable ranges roughly from $1,000 to $1,500.

While you can minimally overshoot the number of solar panels you need for your home, it's not smart to go too far. Not only is the extra cost unnecessary, but your state may put caps on how much energy your home can produce and send back to the grid. It is always best to work with a solar energy professional to determine the best system size for you.

You’ll need to make sure you have a big enough solar panel to meet your well pump’s power demands, but you can use solar power to fully operate your well pump. It’s also a good idea to have battery storage to hold the solar power so you can still use your well pump after dark.
