Q: Can you put solar on a tar and gravel roof?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s possible to install solar on a tar and gravel roof, but it&rsquo;s far from the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/evaluate-solar-and-metal-roofing-options.htm">best roofing material for solar</a>. Solar installations require roof penetrations, and although your solar installer will seal the holes, they still increase the risk of roof leaks. Flat roofs are already more likely to leak than sloped roofs, and adding solar will only make leaks more likely.</p></div>

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: What are the best solar panels to withstand hail?

• <div><p>The best solar panels to withstand hail are those rated UL 61730. These solar panels are certified to withstand hailstones up to 3 inches in diameter and travel at speeds up to 88 mph. IP68 solar panels are the next most resilient solar panel. Solar panels without these ratings can handle hail up to 1 inch in diameter that travels up to 50 miles per hour. If you live in an area with frequent or severe hailstorms, purchasing UL 61730 solar panels is often worth the investment.</p></div>

Q: What other projects should I do at the same time as installing a new subpanel?

• <div><ul><li><p>Installing a new electrical meter box</p></li><li><p>Replacing your meter base</p></li><li><p>Replacing your service entrance cable </p></li></ul><p>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. </p><p>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.</p></div>

Q: How do I find a reputable solar panel company?

• <div><p>You can start narrowing your search for a reputable solar company by finding local, regional, and national companies that service your area and maintain positive reviews online. You should also check the Better Business Bureau&rsquo;s (BBB) website to see if the company has complaints filed against them. Next, contact the remaining candidates and ask about installation timelines, warranty coverage, and financing options. Choose a company that offers a labor warranty that lasts at least 10 years and prioritizes cash purchases and solar loans.</p></div>
