"I had solar panels installed by SunPower's subcontractor Hooked on Solar in 2020. In 2023 some of the panels were damaged by an electrical outage and surge. It took about 4 months for Hooked on Solar to identify the damaged panels, schedule an appointment to replacement, but finally they fixed the panels."

"If you're thinking about installing Solar I would highly suggest SolaTrue of Raleigh. I'm finally up and running on Solar. I was constantly getting solicitors coming to my door trying to sell me solar. I was always polite but I was diffently not the type to get solar. Until I met Todd with SolaTrue. I had already heard that Duke was going up on everyone electric in the coming months so i wanted to explore my options. Todd and I had done business together in the past several times and I knew he was someone I could trust. When he started talking to me about his company and the benefits of getting solar I scheduled an appointment. My husband and myself was very pleased learning about it and Todd informed us on things we had no clue about. I can honestly say that the whole team was amazing. Stacy was our main point of contact after Todd and she kept us informed every step of the way. The installers were on time and professional while doing the job. If you are even thinking about Solar I would not just go with any company I would give SolaTrue a call. Trust me I'm in real estate and I know not every company that claims to do solar is legit."

"The workers were punctual (early) efficient, very had working and left the property extremely clean.  There was an onsite project manager, Steve Heslin who kept us informed through the whole process.  I highly recommend this company from Van Starling II to the finished product."

"Excellent job. Our shower leak was quickly diagnosed. The part needed to be ordered, but was easy to install, so Mr. Paxton kindly showed us how to install, saving us the cost of a 2nd visit. He also completed our ½ completed replacement of a toilet's tank components. Definitely recommend."

Solar Panels FAQs, answered by experts

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. 

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 shouldn’t hook up a solar panel directly to a battery. That can damage the solar battery and your appliances over time. Instead, install a charge controller between your solar panel and solar battery. Charge controllers regulate voltage, prevent overcharging, and minimize the amount of electrical current to protect your battery from voltage spikes.

Installing solar panels is worth it if you’re frustrated with paying high utility bills, live in a sunny location, and qualify for tax credits and incentives. Most homeowners cut between $650 and $1,500 from their utility bills each year by installing solar panels. Over the course of your panel’s warranty, you could save anywhere from $16,300 to $37,500, though those in sunny areas with high energy costs could save more than $100,000.

While you can install solar panels by yourself, it can be a complicated process full of lots of manual labor, risky roof work, and knowledge of electrical wiring. Most solar panel installation projects should be reserved for a trained professional—especially if you plan on connecting your panels to the electrical grid rather than for off-grid use, which doesn’t require utility services.
