Q: Can you put solar panels on a metal roof?

• <div><p>You can install solar panels on a metal roof, but it will require some additional thought and care versus a traditional asphalt shingle roof. That&rsquo;s because heat dissipates off a metal roof differently than asphalt or wood, so you may need to space the panels further from the roof. However, a pro can help you with the details and provide a safe and effective installation. </p></div>

Q: What other projects should I do at the same time as installing a new subpanel?

• <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 many solar panels do you need for a 2,500-square-foot house?

• <div><p>The average-sized home in the U.S.&mdash;around 2,500 square feet&mdash;will require between 15 and 34 solar panels to power the whole home.

• <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: Are solar roof shingles the same as solar panels?

• <div><p>Solar shingles and solar panels are not the same. While solar shingles use the same technology as traditional solar panels, they integrate with your existing roof. That means they are used to build your roof instead of simply resting on top of it. When <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/comparing-solar-shingles-and-solar-panels.htm">comparing solar shingles and solar panels,</a> it's helpful to know that solar shingles are more aesthetically pleasing than solar roof panels.

They were awesome! We're able to rearrange my current panel in order to install the new circuit breaker in my original panel. Another company said I had to upgrade my panel. Ended up costing less than half the price!
