"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

The best way to know if your roof can support solar panels is to hire a structural engineer. They’ll look at your roof and approve the design of your solar panel system or suggest changes. The best roofing for solar panels is made from strong materials like asphalt shingles and metal, but tile and gravel will work. Softer materials like thatch or temporary structures are not a good fit.

The average cost to install solar panels is around $27,000, with most homeowners paying between $4,500 and $54,000. These prices don’t consider the federal investment tax credit (ITC), which can reduce costs by up to 30%. The final price depends on several factors, including the size of the system needed to offset your energy consumption, the amount of sunlight your home receives, your geographical location, the type and brand of panels, labor costs, and any add-on products like solar batteries or electric vehicle (EV) chargers. It is recommended to get price quotes from at least three solar companies in your area to find the best deal.

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.

Yes, it is possible to install solar panels on a tar and gravel roof, but it is not the ideal roofing material for a solar installation. The process requires roof penetrations to install the solar racking system. While installers will seal these penetrations, they still increase the risk of leaks. This risk is higher on tar and gravel roofs, which are often flat. Flat roofs are more prone to leaks than sloped roofs because they can pool water during heavy rain and hold snow for longer periods, exposing the roof to more moisture.

In almost every case, solar panels need to be removed to replace roof shingles. In some cases, such as solar installations where the panels are on raised platforms above the roof surface, installers may be able to install new shingles without removing the solar installation. However, to get a quality roofing installation, panels need to come off. Most roofing contractors won’t remove or reinstall solar panels as part of a roofing project, so you’ll need to contact your solar provider.
