"I pride myself on being thorough and doing the necessary due diligence before undertaking a major project. Deciding that we are through paying through the nose for electric, our family decided to go solar. I arranged consultations with a dozen representatives of local solar companies. Each and every representative besides anthony at morning solar insisted on phone meetings and remote satellite pictures to estimate the project parameters for my home. In my opinion, a large project that is a sizable investment requires personalized diagnostics. The other representatives remotely used 2 year old satellite pictures to estimate where to put panels and how many. I told them it is simply impossible to do so remotely as I have removed 25 trees from the vicinity of my home and the information they received from the outdated photos are pointless. Irregardless, the phone conversations all went the same. They emailed me project estimates without so much as stepping foot on my property. Besides being overpriced and inaccurate for my home, the technology in all the estimates was obsolete. Needless to say, it was quite discouraging. Anthony at Morning Star Solar Group drove personally to my home, gave me a hearty handshake and began to assess the situation. Taking photos on site and estimating where the sun rises and sets in relation to my home gave a me a personalized solution to my energy problems. Anthony is the only solar professional I dealt with to go the extra mile for their customer. We completed our solar project together as a team and now 2 years later, I can safely say going with Morning Star was the definitive right move!"

"In order to get my roof repaired, I had to get my solar panels taken down and replaced. Bright Light Energy Corp got the job done for $400 less than my original quote and began work the day after I contacted them. The first company had a 30-day wait. They are clearly professionals who know their business and provide a well-done service in the time and cost they quote. I highly recommend this company."
"Wilson Plumbing and Heating replaced my kitchen faucet and 2 valves perfectly without any issue. They are so professional and knowledgeable and efficiency too. I highly recommended Wilson Plumbing and Heating."

Solar roofing shingles may qualify for significant federal tax incentives through programs like the Residential Clean Energy Credit, which offers up to 30% of installation costs through 2032. State and local governments often provide additional credits, and utility companies may offer further rebates or net metering programs, depending on the state. Just look into the qualification requirements beforehand because installation, documentation, and technical standards can impact eligibility. Consult the current guidelines and a tax professional to maximize available benefits.
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.
Solar panels should get at least four to six hours of direct sunlight daily. It’s even better if sunlight reaches panels between the peak hours of 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. This is enough to power a home, depending on your solar system’s size and energy needs. Remember that panels will generate some power under cloudy skies or in the shade, and many systems compensate for lower sun exposure by drawing energy from the grid or battery storage.
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.
Depending on the climate in your area, the best time to install solar panels is either winter or early spring. Summer is a fine time to install panels, too, but it tends to be the busy season, so prices may be higher and companies may have packed schedules. The installation process can take more time than expected between getting permits and finalizing a design, so start as soon as you can.
