"install was great and very quick. my only complaint would be on the programs for solar and how that all works for the buyer. i had to figure out the tax side on my own and the rebates went to solar company. price was ok but after the mountain of phone calls from other companies the price was on the high side."

"I'm really happy I contacted Merrill. Jeremy responded immediately to my quote request, asked for some additional information on my panel and installation location, and gave me a fair quote for the work. We scheduled the work and he arrived on time with everything he needed for the install. The charger is up and running in less time than the other guys were taking just to quote the work!"

"Our furnace had stopped working during a serious cold spell and Sunglow was available to come and take a look. The office staff were super helpful and friendly; great communication. I received a text message with the arrival time of the tech and included a photograph, which I thought was a clever idea. The tech arrived on time and quickly diagnosed the issue. After ordering the part, which arrived quickly, they setup another appointment and a very experienced tech came and swapped the part out. I would definitely use Sunglow again and highly recommend them."

Solar Panels FAQs, answered by experts

Not all homes are suited for solar panel systems. Older roofs or those in poor condition may need repairs or replacement before solar panels can be installed. Some other factors to consider are the amount of sunlight your roof receives, the roof’s orientation and pitch, and any shading from nearby trees or buildings.

The best solar panels to withstand hail are those rated UL 61730. These solar panels are certified to withstand hailstones up to 3 inches in diameter and travel at speeds up to 88 mph. IP68 solar panels are the next most resilient solar panel. Solar panels without these ratings can handle hail up to 1 inch in diameter that travels up to 50 miles per hour. If you live in an area with frequent or severe hailstorms, purchasing UL 61730 solar panels is often worth the investment.

Homeowners replace their solar panels after 25 years. That said, you don’t necessarily need to replace them at the 25-year mark. You’ll notice a declining ability to produce electricity over time. Most homeowners spring for a replacement when they notice their energy bills creeping up to regular levels or when solar panel repairs are extensive, frequent, and no longer economical.

You can install solar panels on a flat or pitched roof, but keep in mind that they will need to rest at a 30- to 50-degree tilt for optimal sun absorption. It costs more to install solar panels on a flat roof because you will need to install a framing system and likely hire a structural engineer. If your roof has a pitch of more than 40 degrees, it may not be a good candidate for solar panels.

Yes, solar panel installation will require permits. The required permits will depend on where you live, as some states and cities have solar-specific permits, while others only require electrical permits to connect to the grid. In either case, it’s best to hire a reputable solar installer in your area, as a representative should handle all of the necessary permitting for you and will include the cost of the permits in your initial solar estimate.
