"At first I was skeptical about getting solar panels. I thought it would be too much trouble and not worth the time. I was wrong!! After talking with Nick Zink we had our panels installed and 6 months later we have seen amazing savings on our power bill. I also cannot say how amazing Nick has been. He walked us through and ensured every concern or worry was resolved before the install and personally walked through the process and checked to ensure everything was done on time. The installation went seamlessly and ahead of time, they cleaned thoroughly afterwards, and the respect they showed was incredible. If you get solar panels ask for Nick Zink. I trust no one else."

"I cannot say enough good things about Mike and his team. No task is too large or cumbersome for him. He is professional but also hilarious. Has a great upbeat personality and works very, very well. He's not greedy and treats both small and large jobs with equal respect. Happy to work with 100+ year-old homes with no problem. I value that he explains things as he goes along. He is knowledgeable about a lot of things and doesn't force one solution on you over another. Very responsive and won't just disappear on you when things get busy, like many people seem to do. Reasonable prices. Seems to handle stress well and is always positive, which is important to me. His team with Oscar and Nick came along with him on a job and were just as wonderful. He has great communication if he is not able to make it on time. :) He doesn't rush jobs, which I really respect. Just a generally good and knowledgeable individual. I wholeheartedly recommend him and SolFarm Solar Co."

"I was very impressed with the installer who was sent. He mounted the dish without drilling through my new roof, which might have voided my roof warranty, Also, he mounted the dish in a location where it is easy for me to brush the snow off it in winter. I appreciate his knowledge and thoughtfulness. Also, they didn't charge me to re-install the dish."

"The process was great even though I'm at the bottom of a hill and have trees around most the property they worked with me and managed to find a place that works to get the best direct light and worked with me to determine what would be the best system for my home given where the panels would be and what was in my price range if there were any issues that came up they would inform me right away and they would have a solution ready to go once the panels where installed and hooked up they would come out frequently to check and make sure everything is working as it should and would call to see if my power bill was lower than usual overall they are very tentative and hardworking as well as friendly they really kept me informed every step of the way and did the job with good quality and fast"

Solar Panels FAQs, answered by experts

Not all homes are suited for solar panel systems. Older roofs or those in poor condition may need repairs or replacement before solar panels can be installed. Some other factors to consider are the amount of sunlight your roof receives, the roof’s orientation and pitch, and any shading from nearby trees or buildings.

It’s possible that installing solar panels can lead to mold on the roof. The panels themselves are not the issue. Problems caused by improper installation—such as roof leaks and mounts that aren’t sealed properly—can cause mold. Another potential cause of mold is debris accumulation under panels, which can trap moisture. If you live somewhere with extreme snow, rain, or hail, your home could be more prone to mold.

While you can minimally overshoot the number of solar panels you need for your home, it's not smart to go too far. Not only is the extra cost unnecessary, but your state may put caps on how much energy your home can produce and send back to the grid. It is always best to work with a solar energy professional to determine the best system size for you.

The average homeowner needs around 22 solar panels, but the exact number depends on your monthly energy consumption. Your solar professional should size your array to offset your consumption, meaning you’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.

Homeowners replace their solar panels after 25 years. That said, you don’t necessarily need to replace them at the 25-year mark. You’ll notice a declining ability to produce electricity over time. Most homeowners spring for a replacement when they notice their energy bills creeping up to regular levels or when solar panel repairs are extensive, frequent, and no longer economical.
