"Maurice listened to my solar panel dilemma over the phone explain to me exactly what he could do to fix it exactly what it would cost and he showed up the same day did the repair. He was quick efficient and totally trustworthy. I would not hesitate to refer him to any of my neighbors looking for any type of electrical work. He did a great job."

"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!"
"Response time was very quick, which I greatly appreciated because my water heater flooded the platform it stood on and caused a great amount of damage to the surrounding walls as well overnight. Removal and installation went very well. Jose was very professional and informative. I absolutely recommend and will continue to use this company."
"The founder of the company is an awesome, God-fearing man. We love his vision of serving the communities of Utah and Nevada in the solar industry. Definitely recommend going with Era to anyone looking to invest into energy."
"We had two other companies come to our home to give us bids on either 1)repairing our old system or 2) installing a new system. The representatives of the first two companies immediately stated that, since our system was old (20 years) we should just scrap it and install a new system. They didn't even really look at what we currently have. When the representative from Bishop arrived (one of the owners) he immediately said that he would check out the systerm to see what was wrong and give us an estimate on repairs. If it would be too costly, then he would bid on installing a new system. In other words, he was the only person who actually did what my husband and I had asked for. He found the problem, repaired it, and we have had zero problems since. The system has worked fine for the remainder of the summer. We know we will have to replace our system eventually, but we did not wish to spend that much money right now, and Bishop gave us the means to have our current system fulfill our needs for this season. We would both recommend Bishop very highly: they worked to satisfy the client, not to make a big sale. We both feel we can trust them when it comes time to replace our system. "
"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!!"
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.
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.
There are a few great questions to ask a solar contractor or inspector when you speak to them. You’ll probably want to find out about the energy yield and efficiency of your array, ensuring the actual output matches the amount you calculated when installing the array in the first place. It’s also a good idea to find out about any damage or wear and tear on the array and to inquire about how soon you need to make repairs or replacements to essential components.
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.
Solar batteries can be a great investment to help maximize your solar savings and make your system and home more valuable, but they’re most beneficial to customers who don’t have access to net metering. If your state or energy provider doesn’t provide net metering, batteries can be a great way to offset consumption even when your panels aren’t producing power. They also come with the added benefit of providing electricity through blackouts, so they’re valuable in areas prone to severe weather that could cause frequent blackouts. Your installer can help you decide if batteries are worthwhile.
