"I was referred to ExactSolar from a friend of mine who is extremely knowledgeable about the solar industry and he insisted that there was no better company in our area than ExactSolar. After meeting with and receiving quotes from four different companies, I decided that ExactSolar was the correct choice hands down. From the moment I contacted Dara, she has been nothing short of courteous, patient, knowledgeable, and extremely helpful in working with clients to determine the best solar system fit for each individual property. Dara and I started the process of planning my solar project in January 2020, and even through a pandemic, Dara was always quick to respond to an email, text, or answer a phone call for the many questions I posed throughout the entire process. Where other companies seemed to send mere salesman interested only in selling and doing so as quickly as possible, ExactSolar allows you the ability to deal with the actual owner (Dara Bortman) who patiently guided me in decision making from start to finish and set realistic expectations from the very beginning so I know exactly what I was going to get. On installation day, Nick and his team couldn't have been more friendly and professional. He kindly explained the process before, during, and after installation. ExactSolar is an honest and elite company with markedly impressive ownership and employees and are exceptionally highly recommended!! -BQ"

"The solar panels installation was fast and professional. The project was beautiful and they even care about the aesthetics. T de Lucca was amazing from the beginning to the end of the process, very patient to explain how it works, to show how to save money and she answered every doubt I had (and I had tons of it). I highly recommend it."

Solar Panels questions, answered by experts
  • Installing a new electrical meter box

  • Replacing your meter base

  • Replacing your service entrance cable 

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. 

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.

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.

It’s possible that installing solar panels can lead to mold on the roof. The panels themselves are not the issue. Problems caused by improper installation—such as roof leaks and mounts that aren’t sealed properly—can cause mold. Another potential cause of mold is debris accumulation under panels, which can trap moisture. If you live somewhere with extreme snow, rain, or hail, your home could be more prone to mold.

You can start narrowing your search for a reputable solar company by finding local, regional, and national companies that service your area and maintain positive reviews online. You should also check the Better Business Bureau’s (BBB) website to see if the company has complaints filed against them. Next, contact the remaining candidates and ask about installation timelines, warranty coverage, and financing options. Choose a company that offers a labor warranty that lasts at least 10 years and prioritizes cash purchases and solar loans.

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.
