Are insurance companies against solar panels?

• <div><p>Insurance companies aren’t against solar panels, but they may have concerns about the risks and costs of insuring solar. The type of policy, where you live, and the insurance company itself matter. Extreme weather can damage solar panels, and faulty installation or electrical malfunctions pose a fire risk—this, in turn, can increase insurance company liability and payouts. However, you’re likely to keep coverage as long as you have a pro install the solar system, keep it maintained, can pass a solar panel inspection, and update your homeowners policy to include solar.</p></div>

Q: How do you mount solar panels for a well pump?

• <div><p>The best solar-panel mounting system will depend on your property layout, but you&rsquo;ll typically want to try for south-facing panels to get the most sun. Roof mounting and wall mounting are both popular, but if your well setup is far away from buildings and other structures you can also set up a freestanding aluminum frame to mount your panels.</p></div>

Q: How many solar panels do you need for a 2,500-square-foot house?

• <div><p>The average-sized home in the U.S.&mdash;around 2,500 square feet&mdash;will require between 15 and 34 solar panels to power the whole home. The specific number, however, will have less to do with home size and more to do with how much energy you use each year and the amount of sunlight in your region.</p></div>

Q: Where is the best place to install solar panels on your roof?

• <div><p>Ideally, you want to place them facing true south. This is different from what a compass shows, which is called the magnetic south. You can find true south by using an online calculator as long as you know the longitude and latitude of your property. Solar panel placement is key to maximizing the energy you generate, so this is an important step.</p></div>

Q: Should I install solar batteries along with my panels?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/solar-battery-cost.htm">Solar batteries</a> can be a great investment to help maximize your solar savings and make your system and home more valuable, but they&rsquo;re most beneficial to customers who don&rsquo;t have access to net metering. If your state or energy provider doesn&rsquo;t provide net metering, batteries can be a great way to offset consumption even when your panels aren&rsquo;t producing power. They also come with the added benefit of providing electricity through blackouts, so they&rsquo;re valuable in areas prone to severe weather that could cause frequent blackouts. Your installer can help you decide if batteries are worthwhile.</p></div>

Educated me and my mom on the whole process and what to expect step by step. Loved being able to choose were the panels are going to go. Can’t believe how my mom will be able to save on her electric bill.

We have taken quotes from three different companies and we were disappointed by the estimate given to us by them. They didn't seem to give us complete information and they didn't seem really that interested in doing the job here in El Paso. They probably have more business than they can handle....
