Q: What questions should I ask a solar panel company before hiring?

• <div><p>There are a few qualifying questions you should ask a <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/install-solar-panels/">local solar panel company</a> before hiring them:</p><ul><li><p>Will you handle permits for the installation?</p></li><li><p>Does your total price include the equipment and labor?</p></li><li><p>How long do you expect the installation process to take?</p></li><li><p>What kind of workmanship warranty do you include with your installations?</p></li><li><p>Who should I contact if I have a problem with my system after installation?</p></li><li><p>Do you install the panels or outsource the work to third parties?</p></li><li><p>Will you file for solar incentives for me?</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: How long do solar shingles last?

• <div><p>Solar shingles typically last between 20 and 30 years, a lifespan comparable to that of traditional solar panels and standard asphalt shingles. The exact duration depends on the manufacturer and the quality of the installation. Because solar shingles are a newer technology, there is limited data on their actual long-term performance. Factors that can impact their durability and longevity include weather conditions, roof ventilation, and regular maintenance. To extend the life of your solar shingles, you should conduct regular inspections and cleaning, and make any necessary repairs as quickly as possible.</p></div>

Q: What’s the difference between rooftop solar panels and a solar farm?

• <div><p>Rooftop solar panels supply energy to a single household, where a solar farm can power multiple homes at once with clean energy. Residential rooftop solar panels cost more per watt with a lower project total, and those panels only service the residence they are installed on (in most circumstances). With a solar farm, multiple households can buy into the project and share the overall cost. </p></div>

• <div><ul><li><p>Installing a new electrical meter box</p></li><li><p>Replacing your meter base</p></li><li><p>Replacing your service entrance cable </p></li></ul><p>The cost to install or upgrade an electrical meter box ranges from $100 to $650, including $50 to $250 for the unit. The meter base passes the power from your electric company to your panel. The cost to replace a meter base is roughly $50 to $250. </p><p>Service entrance cables are electrical cables with multiple wires, bringing power from electrical companies to residential buildings. The cost to replace a service entrance cable ranges roughly from $1,000 to $1,500.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take to build a solar farm?

• <div><p>The actual time it takes to construct the solar farm is relatively short, taking between <b>2 and 4 months</b> on average. That timeline is dependent on site conditions, crew size, and the overall size of the solar farm.</p><p>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&rsquo;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. </p></div>

Solar Panels questions, answered by experts

There are a few qualifying questions you should ask a local solar panel company before hiring them:

Will you handle permits for the installation?
Does your total price include the equipment and labor?
How long do you expect the installation process to take?
What kind of workmanship warranty do you include with your installations?
Who should I contact if I have a problem with my system after installation?
Do you install the panels or outsource the work to third parties?
Will you file for solar incentives for me?
