Q: Should I buy a solar battery or a generator?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re deciding between a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/solar-batteries-vs-generators.htm">solar battery versus a generator</a> for the best backup power solution, you can take a few factors into consideration. Solar batteries are quiet while generators can be quite loud. Generators have a lower up-front cost, but they require fuel and ongoing maintenance while solar batteries are more expensive but don&rsquo;t have many ongoing costs. </p></div>

Q: Do solar installers need to be licensed or certified?

• <div><p>In most states, solar installers need to be licensed and insured as solar professionals, although some states don&rsquo;t have specific requirements for installers. You can use our <a href="https://www.angi.com/angi-license-check.htm">state licensing tool</a> to check if an installer you&rsquo;re considering hiring holds the proper licensing. No matter where you live, a member of your solar panel installation company must be a certified electrician to connect your panels to your home and the electric grid.</p></div>

Q: Can I turn on my solar system before the inspection?

• <div><p>No, you cannot turn on a new solar system before inspection. The inspector checks that the system is correctly connected to the grid and that safety components and features are in place. This process prevents problems on the electrical grid and offers protection against fire in your home. </p><p>Your local utility company may also require inspection documentation before you can connect to the grid. An inspection can ensure solar power efficiency and determine how you might increase it.</p></div>

Q: Can I connect an inverter to my solar panels without batteries?

• <div><p>Yes, you can connect an inverter directly to your solar panels without solar battery storage if your home is connected to the power grid. However, most pros don&rsquo;t recommend a direct connection because solar panels don&rsquo;t put out steady voltage. It&rsquo;s always best to install a charge controller between your solar panel and your inverter to regulate the flow of energy and ensure a stable power supply.</p></div>

Q: Is installing solar panels worth it?

• <div><p>Installing solar panels is worth it if you&rsquo;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&rsquo;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. </p></div>
