"Working with NEC Solar on our 14 kW system was hands-down one of the best contractor experiences we’ve had - truly exceptional from start to finish. Artie (our Solar Engineer) and Nick (our Ops Manager) went above and beyond every step of the way. Artie was incredible. Out of all the companies I requested quotes from, he was the only one who took the time to design a system that fully maximized our roof’s potential. He treated it like a personal mission to squeeze every last panel on there - pushing right to the roofline to get us the highest possible output. He was unbelievably responsive (often replying within minutes), patient with all my questions, and ran multiple design scenarios until we found the one that worked best. His attention to detail and commitment to getting it right made NEC the obvious choice. When Nick took over to manage the install, the professionalism didn’t skip a beat. His communication was outstanding - I always knew what was happening, what to expect next,"

Solar Panels questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can connect an inverter directly to your solar panels without solar battery storage if your home is connected to the power grid. However, most pros don’t recommend a direct connection because solar panels don’t put out steady voltage. It’s always best to install a charge controller between your solar panel and your inverter to regulate the flow of energy and ensure a stable power supply.

It’s possible to install solar on a tar and gravel roof, but it’s far from the best roofing material for solar. Solar installations require roof penetrations, and although your solar installer will seal the holes, they still increase the risk of roof leaks. Flat roofs are already more likely to leak than sloped roofs, and adding solar will only make leaks more likely.

The average homeowner needs around 22 solar panels, but the exact number depends on your monthly energy consumption. Your solar professional should size your array to offset your consumption, meaning you’ll need fewer panels if you use below-average amounts of electricity, or more than 22 if you use above-average amounts of electricity. The number of panels also depends on the output of each panel. The average is around 400 watts, but you might need more panels if you install less capable equipment. Since there are so many variables, you should have a professional size your system.

The morning sun can be better for solar panels because it’s often brighter and clearer than the afternoon sun. The brighter the sun, the more energy solar panels produce. The strongest rays occur during midday, which tends to be prime time for solar energy generation. Most homes get a mix of morning and afternoon sunlight.

While you can minimally overshoot the number of solar panels you need for your home, it's not smart to go too far. Not only is the extra cost unnecessary, but your state may put caps on how much energy your home can produce and send back to the grid. It is always best to work with a solar energy professional to determine the best system size for you.
