Get matched with top solar panel pros in Macon, NC

Q: Does going solar really save money?

• <div><p>Yes, going solar really saves money. In fact, according to some calculations, the average homeowner who switches from electric to solar power will save almost $2,000 a year on energy costs. While buying solar panels and switching to solar can be costly up front, the savings add up over time. If you can sell back extra energy or take advantage of tax incentives, your savings can be even higher.</p></div>

Q: Do solar panels protect your roof from hail?

• <div><p>Solar panels can protect your roof from hail, as they can withstand hail up to 1 inch in diameter that falls up to 50 mph. Your solar panels may experience damage if the hailstones are bigger and travel faster. Your <a href="http://www.angi.com/articles/what-does-hail-damage-look-like.htm">roof can still suffer hail damage</a>, and it&rsquo;s essential to look for signs and repair issues right away. Roof damage can lead to leaks and water damage inside your home.</p></div>

Q: How many solar panels do you need to run a solar well pump?

• <div><p>Solar well pumps range from needing 200 watts of power to as much as 12,000 watts for heavy-duty pumps. Since the most common and cost-friendly solar panels are 100-watt panels, you&rsquo;ll need between two and 12 panels. The average is between two and eight panels for standard pumps. Based on the average cost of solar panels (<b>$1 to $1.50 per watt</b>), you&rsquo;d pay between <b>$200 and $1,800</b> for your well pump solar panels&mdash;not including installation.</p></div>

Q: How many solar panels do I need for my home?

• <div><p>The average homeowner needs around <b>22 solar panels</b>, but the exact number depends on your monthly energy consumption. Your solar professional should size your array to offset your consumption, meaning you&rsquo;ll need fewer panels if you use below-average amounts of electricity, or more than 22 if you use above-average amounts of electricity. The number of panels also depends on the output of each panel. The average is around 400 watts, but you might need more panels if you install less capable equipment. Since there are so many variables, you should have a professional size your system.</p></div>

Q: Do solar panels shorten roof life?

• <div><p>As long as your solar panels are properly installed without damage to your roof, they will not shorten the roof&rsquo;s life span. Solar panels can act as a cover or barrier to your roof and help block external elements, such as debris, heat, and UV rays. Reduced exposure to the weather can extend your roof&rsquo;s life.</p></div>
