"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."

"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

Solar batteries can be a great investment to help maximize your solar savings and make your system and home more valuable, but they’re most beneficial to customers who don’t have access to net metering. If your state or energy provider doesn’t provide net metering, batteries can be a great way to offset consumption even when your panels aren’t producing power. They also come with the added benefit of providing electricity through blackouts, so they’re valuable in areas prone to severe weather that could cause frequent blackouts. Your installer can help you decide if batteries are worthwhile.

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.

DIY solar panel installations are hard to manage by yourself. You’ll likely need some help or prior experience to make the project worth the effort.

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 shingles and solar panels are not the same. While solar shingles use the same technology as traditional solar panels, they integrate with your existing roof. That means they are used to build your roof instead of simply resting on top of it. When comparing solar shingles and solar panels, it's helpful to know that solar shingles are more aesthetically pleasing than solar roof panels. They also do better in harsh weather due to limited uplift from strong winds.
