"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

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.

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.

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.

Learn about common solar blockers in your area to determine how often you should wash solar panels and the best cleaning method:

  • Soot: If you have a fireplace, soot can disperse and accumulate on the solar panels.

  • Debris, dirt, and leaves: These natural elements require light cleaning. Being close to trees or living in a desert area can cause more of these to accumulate.

  • Pollen: Areas with a high pollen count require more frequent solar panel cleaning, and sticky plant material requires a deeper cleaning.

  • Bird droppings: Bird droppings are binding and more difficult to remove. Keep this in mind if you live near a lot of surrounding trees. 

Yes, you have to get on the roof to cut a hole for solar tubing. It's not possible to complete the job from inside your house by simply cutting through the ceiling. So if you want to go the DIY route, remember to use safe ladder practices. If you’re not comfortable climbing on your roof to install solar tubes, hire a pro who has the tools and expertise to do the job safely.
