"Elite Solar Services team delivered on their promise of quality service and efficiency, leaving me confident in my decision to go solar with them. They really do care about customer satisfaction.

"Very glad I did it. I need a new furnace. There's a lot wrong with it. Found out it's almost 15 years old and could die during winter. The tech will get me prices on different ones and will go from there."

"I had noticed a sudden drop in flow through the shower head in the upstairs bathroom. I called one morning and set up an appointment for that same day in the afternoon. Winston and Chris arrived a little early and got to work. The old handle did not come off easily and eventually had to be drilled out. It's the sort of thing that would have me swearing up a storm but Winston took it in stride. After they got the handle off, they found that the cartridge inside had shed a rubber piece that had become lodged in the piping inside the wall. Simply replacing the cartridge was no longer an option (it turned out that it was no longer made anyway), so they ended up replacing everything, including the mixing assembly inside the wall, with new hardware that I had already bought. I was glad they did because the soldering they found inside the wall was very poorly done (by the builder - it's a relatively new house). Winston suggested putting in an access panel after the plumbing work was done, which was a good idea. The shower works better now that it ever did. Considering that 2 plumbers were here for 3 hours, I though the cost was reasonable. And on top of it all, Winston and Chris are pretty good people."

"The last was a rental company that we have and we used them for an air conditioning and heating system. It was Bototach Mechanical. It’s been a good program for us. They’re very responsive. I don’t know what the thought process was. My husband said, well let’s try these guys and so we did. We have an older home and it’s proved to be a very good deal. The quality has been pretty good, so I would give them an A for the quality. I will give you one helpful hint though. If the company decides they want to replace an appliance, you need to call them and negotiate with them because you can upgrade, but you need to talk to them in person not just do it over the internet."

Solar Panels FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, you can connect an inverter directly to your solar panels without solar battery storage if your home is connected to the power grid. However, most pros don’t recommend a direct connection because solar panels don’t put out steady voltage. It’s always best to install a charge controller between your solar panel and your inverter to regulate the flow of energy and ensure a stable power supply.

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.

Solar panels have a life span between 10 and 40 years, depending on the type of panel. For example, monocrystalline panels can last up to 40 years, while thin-film ones only last between 10 and 20 years. The longevity also comes down to keeping up with solar panel repairs and their related costs .

Although solar panels harness the sun's power, they come at an environmental cost. The manufacturing process requires large amounts of water and involves hazardous materials like cadmium, silicon, and gallium arsenide. These materials don’t pose safety hazards while the panels are in use but can pose a problem when left in landfills. Over time, hazardous materials can leach into the environment. This is why recycling solar panels whenever possible is better than taking them to landfills.

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.
