"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.

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.

In most cases, solar panels are covered by homeowners insurance because they are considered a permanently attached part of the home, and you may not need additional coverage. However, it is essential to read the fine print of your specific policy to understand the extent of the coverage, as some policies might only cover certain types of damage, such as hail. Always check with your insurance provider before installing solar panels to ensure your policy provides adequate coverage for your investment.

Solar panels have a life span between 10 and 40 years, depending on the type of panel. For example, monocrystalline panels can last up to 40 years, while thin-film ones only last between 10 and 20 years. The longevity also comes down to keeping up with solar panel repairs and their related costs .

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.
