Are solar panels worth it?

Going solar with your home’s energy is expensive, but, in most states, the panels will pay for themselves by reducing your electric bills. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-do-solar-panels-work.htm">Solar panels</a> don’t produce greenhouse gasses or other pollutants, meaning you can feel good about using this renewable energy source to power your home. Plus, installing solar panels can boost your home value, helping your profit off your next home sale.</p></div>

Q: How long does installing solar roof shingles take?

• <div><p>Professionals use the same methods to install solar shingles that they do for asphalt shingles, so you&rsquo;ll often see a similar installation timeline of one to two days. The amount of time required will depend on the size and slope of your roof and the number of shingles installed. Weather conditions can delay installation, as working on a roof is unsafe during high winds or heavy rain.</p></div>

Q: How do I know if my roof can support solar panels?

• <div><p>The best way to know if your roof can support solar panels is to hire a structural engineer. They&rsquo;ll look at your roof and approve the design of your solar panel system or suggest changes. The best roofing for solar panels is made from strong materials like asphalt shingles and metal, but tile and gravel will work. Softer materials like thatch or temporary structures are not a good fit.</p></div>

Q: What are the best solar panels to withstand hail?

• <div><p>The best solar panels to withstand hail are those rated UL 61730. These solar panels are certified to withstand hailstones up to 3 inches in diameter and travel at speeds up to 88 mph. IP68 solar panels are the next most resilient solar panel. Solar panels without these ratings can handle hail up to 1 inch in diameter that travels up to 50 miles per hour. If you live in an area with frequent or severe hailstorms, purchasing UL 61730 solar panels is often worth the investment.</p></div>
