"We had a large solar system installed a year ago by a local solar company. After a year the system melted down due to some faulty wiring. It took a month before the system was functional again, but our battery was also taken out in the melt down. We were told it would take a few weeks to get the paperwork through the system to warranty out our battery. After waiting three months we decided to contact Green Ridge Solar to see if they could help with our problem. To say they were life savers is an understatement. They answered the phone immediately, understood the problem and sent out a very experienced electrician in a very timely manner. They were able to warranty out our existing battery and we decided to order an additional battery through their company. The new battery was only half the cost from the first one that was installed by the original company. They were fast, friendly and professional. I would hire them again in a heart beat."

"In preparation for a super hot summer, I decided it would be a good move to get my heat pump serviced early. Tasha made the entire process SO easy! She was very pleasant to work with and took the time to answer all of my questions about the service visit. Corey was great too when he came out. He was very professional and super informative about how to care for the unit so it lasts many years to come. Overall this was a great experience and I feel more confidant as a new homeowner!"

"From his report : Cut open sheetrock in garage to expose section of burst CPVC. Replaced frost free sillcock/ hosebib and section of CPVC with PEX pipe, and put insulation on. Checked for leaks, none.
My comments: I thought they would have some fancy equipment to find the exact location of the leak. Actually, he had me turn the water supply on slowly while he looked around for water. It took a while for the water to come out so he was having a hard time tracking the leak down. This resulted in us unnecessarily moving out some additional shelving further back in the garage. Finally, he had me open the water supply up more and the water started coming out below the faucet at the front of the house. He did a good job of cutting the holes in the sheetrock in the right places. He then had to cut through another pressboard panel to reach inside the column and get at the back of the hosebib. The CPVC pipe was badly shattered right behind the hosebib. He asked me if the old hosebib was leaking or hard to turn at all, and if I wanted to replace it. It was working fine but since it was 17 years old I had him put on a new one. The PEX pipe with insulation and a new hosebib were quickly installed. We talked about the holes and I decided to use one of his plastic spring-fit covers over one of them, and I will likely re-sheetrock the other one. He cleaned up his work area well including taking away the old plumbing. Everything was finished in about an hour. I did not ask them for any quote in advance, and he just charged me for a flat rate hosebib replacement which is $235 plus tax. This is a little more than I was expecting after looking at costs for similar work on Angies list but the price does seem reasonable.

"They did a very good job, and they were careful not to damage siding or surrounding landscaping.   Cleaned up the work area each day, and upon completion left the area looking better than before the work started.   The best part -- no more leaking water in our basement.   I waited to write this review until we had been through a couple period of heavy rain.   Thanks Q!

Solar Panels questions, answered by experts

Installing solar panels is worth it if you’re frustrated with paying high utility bills, live in a sunny location, and qualify for tax credits and incentives. Most homeowners cut between $650 and $1,500 from their utility bills each year by installing solar panels. Over the course of your panel’s warranty, you could save anywhere from $16,300 to $37,500, though those in sunny areas with high energy costs could save more than $100,000.

Solar well pumps range from needing 200 watts of power to as much as 12,000 watts for heavy-duty pumps. Since the most common and cost-friendly solar panels are 100-watt panels, you’ll need between two and 12 panels. The average is between two and eight panels for standard pumps. Based on the average cost of solar panels ($1 to $1.50 per watt), you’d pay between $200 and $1,800 for your well pump solar panels—not including installation.

There are a few great questions to ask a solar contractor or inspector when you speak to them. You’ll probably want to find out about the energy yield and efficiency of your array, ensuring the actual output matches the amount you calculated when installing the array in the first place. It’s also a good idea to find out about any damage or wear and tear on the array and to inquire about how soon you need to make repairs or replacements to essential components.

Solar water heating systems are not one-size-fits-all. You'll likely work with a team of experts to get the job done—including solar panel installers, plumbers, and water heater installers. A specialist will help you decide if a passive or active system is best for your local weather, home layout, roof stability, and your budget.

Learn about common solar blockers in your area to determine how often you should wash solar panels and the best cleaning method:

  • Soot: If you have a fireplace, soot can disperse and accumulate on the solar panels.

  • Debris, dirt, and leaves: These natural elements require light cleaning. Being close to trees or living in a desert area can cause more of these to accumulate.

  • Pollen: Areas with a high pollen count require more frequent solar panel cleaning, and sticky plant material requires a deeper cleaning.

  • Bird droppings: Bird droppings are binding and more difficult to remove. Keep this in mind if you live near a lot of surrounding trees.
