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 also do better in harsh weather due to limited uplift from strong winds.</p></div>

How can I save money on solar panels?

• <div><p>The best way to save money on solar panels is to take advantage of <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/am-i-eligible-energy-efficiency-tax-credit.htm">federal and state solar incentives</a>. For example, the solar investment tax credit (ITC) offered by the federal government can save 30% of your total—if you can take the entire credit, which is based on income taxes owed—or an average of around <b>$9,000</b>. You can check the Database of State Incentives for Renewables and Efficiency (DSIRE) for state and local incentives that could save you even more.</p></div>

Are solar panels worth it?

• <div><p>In most cases, yes, solar panels are well worth the investment. Going solar with your home’s energy is expensive, but, in most states, the panels will pay for themselves by reducing your electric bills. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-do-solar-panels-work.htm">Solar panels</a> don’t produce greenhouse gasses or other pollutants, meaning you can feel good about using this renewable energy source to power your home. Plus, installing solar panels can boost your home value, helping your profit off your next home sale.</p></div>

What are some of the most common solar panel blockers?

• <div><p>Learn about common solar blockers in your area to determine how often you should wash solar panels and the best cleaning method:</p><ul><li><p><b>Soot: </b>If you have a fireplace, soot can disperse and accumulate on the solar panels.</p></li><li><p><b>Debris, dirt, and leaves: </b>These natural elements require light cleaning. Being close to trees or living in a desert area can cause more of these to accumulate.</p></li><li><p><b>Pollen:</b> Areas with a high pollen count require more frequent solar panel cleaning, and sticky plant material requires a deeper cleaning.</p></li><li><p><b>Bird droppings:</b> Bird droppings are binding and more difficult to remove. Keep this in mind if you live near a lot of surrounding trees. </p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: Should I install solar batteries along with my panels?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/solar-battery-cost.htm">Solar batteries</a> can be a great investment to help maximize your solar savings and make your system and home more valuable, but they&rsquo;re most beneficial to customers who don&rsquo;t have access to net metering. If your state or energy provider doesn&rsquo;t provide net metering, batteries can be a great way to offset consumption even when your panels aren&rsquo;t producing power. They also come with the added benefit of providing electricity through blackouts, so they&rsquo;re valuable in areas prone to severe weather that could cause frequent blackouts. Your installer can help you decide if batteries are worthwhile.</p></div>

I’m very pleased with the work I had done. They had to completely rip out existing panels (3) and replace them with one big breaker panel. They also added a 240 outlet in my washroom. Very good work and very reasonable price. We will for sure use them for any future work and recommend them.

Was having solar panels moved to the other side of the roof, so needed either patching, or reroofing. Decided to reroof because the old roof was 16 years old, and although it was still in good shape, I will probably be moving in a few years, and didn't want a potential buyer to tell me I needed...
