"I initially had reservations about the concept of installing solar panels, but I was keen on getting an estimate and seeking professional advice. That's when I met Arvin. He provided me with a comprehensive walkthrough, clearly outlining the advantages of having solar panels. The entire process was straightforward, with each step being well-explained, leaving no room for surprises or unexpected outcomes. Now, a little over 5 months since the installation, I'm enjoying the benefits just as he promised. I want to extend my gratitude to Arvin for his professionalism and responsiveness. He was always there to address any questions I had, both during and after the installation process. Thank you, Arvin!"

"The manager came out and did an energy audit and recommended a couple of different insulating alternatives.  They made an appointment to do the job about two weeks later, over a three day period.  They arrived on time and worked continuously all three days.  They were good (although not perfect) at keeping the house clean as they worked and the house seems to be very well insulated now.

"Brian was great and educated us on the existing solar we had and put together a plan for adding solar and giving us maximum solar production. He did all the leg work and had it done in record time. With the installation, we qualified for the tax credit. He even checks in to see how things a going after 2 years. Most importantly, you can trust him!!"

"Very well. The system produces slightly more electricity than promised by the contractor. The contractor is the cheapest in town, but they have most customer satisfaction according to my research and findings in Yelp. I bargained with the sales manager Dan, such that I get 25 years warranty for labor and materials on solar panels, inverter and racks. Dan also promised me that after you bargained them to the lowest price, then if you mention my name, Dr. Tien Cheng, he will also give you 25 year transferable warranty on labor, in addition to the 25 year transferable manufacturer warranty on all materials (solar panels, inverter(s) and roof racks. They are located at 4305 Dean Martin Dr., Las Vegas, NV 89103. Phone:702-586-9800. The address shown on Angie's list is good if you live in CA."

Solar Panels questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

The actual time it takes to construct the solar farm is relatively short, taking between 2 and 4 months on average. That timeline is dependent on site conditions, crew size, and the overall size of the solar farm.

However, the time it takes to get the ball rolling is significantly longer, ranging from 3 to 5 years. With a project of this scale, you’ll need to obtain all of the proper permits and approvals to start breaking ground, and depending on your location, that could be an extended process.

Installing solar panels involves drilling small holes in your roof to secure the solar panel mounting brackets. These brackets hold the solar panels in place and must withstand strong weather conditions so they’re secured into your roof. However, holes and screws are sealed to prevent leaking and further damage.

While you can install solar panels by yourself, it can be a complicated process full of lots of manual labor, risky roof work, and knowledge of electrical wiring. Most solar panel installation projects should be reserved for a trained professional—especially if you plan on connecting your panels to the electrical grid rather than for off-grid use, which doesn’t require utility services.
