"My solar panels from Pennsylvania Solar have now been on my roof for more than two years and it’s been a very positive experience. They kept me informed on the schedule for my work and got it done within the timeline promised. They handled all the permitting, inspections, and coordinated the final connections with Duquesne Light – I didn’t have to worry about any of it. The install went pretty much as expected. Most of the work was completed in one day with a few minor follow-up items the next day. It took another couple of weeks for the electric utility to complete their part. The only installation surprise had to do with vent pipe from my kitchen sink that was cut down and rerouted under the panels. What they did worked fine – I just wasn’t aware they were going to do it. But they were able to locate all the panels on the back side of my roof (which is south-west facing), so the whole install is almost invisible from the street. In almost two years of use, the system has required no maintenance. In the first full year of use, I spent about 90% less on electricity compared to the last full year before the install. In the second year, I improved my home’s insulation and ended the year with $25 more in solar credits than what I spend on electricity. And that’s with added electric consumption from working at home full time. The only days I don’t get any production are winter days when they are covered by snow. Usually, the snow slides off within a few hours to a day or two. Just beware down below when that wet, heavy snow starts to slide! I’m considering switching some of my gas appliances to electric. If I eventually decide to add more panels or battery storage, I would certainly consider PA Solar first."

Solar Panels questions, answered by experts

Yes, you have to get on the roof to cut a hole for solar tubing. It's not possible to complete the job from inside your house by simply cutting through the ceiling. So if you want to go the DIY route, remember to use safe ladder practices. If you’re not comfortable climbing on your roof to install solar tubes, hire a pro who has the tools and expertise to do the job safely.

The average cost to install solar panels is around $26,600, and most homeowners pay between $4,500 and $53,000. Keep in mind that these prices don’t consider the federal investment tax credit (ITC), which can effectively reduce those costs by up to 30%. The price you can expect to pay for solar panel installation depends on the size of the system, where you live, the type and brand of panels, and the labor costs. Get price quotes from at least three solar companies in your area to find the best deal.

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.

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. 

While solar panels can be a great investment, they aren’t ideal for every roof. For example, some roofs, especially older or structurally weak ones, may struggle to support the added weight, leading to potential damage. Roofs with complex designs, obstructions, or limited sunlight exposure might not provide optimal conditions for solar energy production. Consider these downsides when determining if solar panel installation costs are worth it.
