Q: Can you put solar panels on a metal roof?

• <div><p>You can install solar panels on a metal roof, but it will require some additional thought and care versus a traditional asphalt shingle roof. That&rsquo;s because heat dissipates off a metal roof differently than asphalt or wood, so you may need to space the panels further from the roof. However, a pro can help you with the details and provide a safe and effective installation. </p></div>

Q: Can you put solar on a tar and gravel roof?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s possible to install solar on a tar and gravel roof, but it&rsquo;s far from the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/evaluate-solar-and-metal-roofing-options.htm">best roofing material for solar</a>. 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.</p></div>

Q: Will solar panels put holes in my roof?

• <div><p>Installing solar panels involves drilling small holes in your roof to secure the solar panel mounting brackets. These brackets hold the solar panels in place and must withstand strong weather conditions so they&rsquo;re secured into your roof. However, holes and screws are sealed to prevent leaking and further damage.</p></div>

Q: Should I buy a solar battery or a generator?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re deciding between a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/solar-batteries-vs-generators.htm">solar battery versus a generator</a> for the best backup power solution, you can take a few factors into consideration. Solar batteries are quiet while generators can be quite loud. Generators have a lower up-front cost, but they require fuel and ongoing maintenance while solar batteries are more expensive but don&rsquo;t have many ongoing costs. </p></div>

We have been pleasantly surprised with the dramatic decrease in our electric bill from these changes. Our electric bill is at least half of what it had been with just these changes. The solar panels should make an even bigger decrease in the electric bill!
