"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

You can install solar panels on a flat or pitched roof, but keep in mind that they will need to rest at a 30- to 50-degree tilt for optimal sun absorption. It costs more to install solar panels on a flat roof because you will need to install a framing system and likely hire a structural engineer. If your roof has a pitch of more than 40 degrees, it may not be a good candidate for solar panels.

There are a few qualifying questions you should ask a local solar panel company before hiring them:

  • Will you handle permits for the installation?

  • Does your total price include the equipment and labor?

  • How long do you expect the installation process to take?

  • What kind of workmanship warranty do you include with your installations?

  • Who should I contact if I have a problem with my system after installation?

  • Do you install the panels or outsource the work to third parties?

  • Will you file for solar incentives for me?

Yes, a solar panel can power a TV without a battery, but only if the sun is shining and the panel is generating enough energy. Your solar panel and TV must have the same voltage, and you should install a charge controller and inverter between them so power surges don’t destroy your TV. To watch TV at night, in the early morning and late afternoon, and on cloudy days, your home must be tied to the power grid.

The time it takes to install solar panels depends on the number of panels and the size of your home, but installation takes between two and three days of work. While most contractors can install the panels over the course of a couple of days, switching to solar energy can take two to three months in total. This includes the time it takes to design the system, procure the parts, obtain the permits, install the panels, connect to the main power grid, and get an inspection.

Removing solar panels can be straightforward, but it’s not necessarily a simple process. Your contractor needs to prevent damage—not only to your panels but also to your roof and electrical system. Many systems are wired into the main electrical grid, and you’ll need to hire a licensed electrician to disconnect it.
