Q: How much does it cost to install solar panels?

• <div><p>The average cost to install solar panels is around $27,000, with most homeowners paying between $4,500 and $54,000. These prices don&rsquo;t consider the federal investment tax credit (ITC), which can reduce costs by up to 30%. The final price depends on several factors, including the size of the system needed to offset your energy consumption, the amount of sunlight your home receives, your geographical location, the type and brand of panels, labor costs, and any add-on products like solar batteries or electric vehicle (EV) chargers. It is recommended to get price quotes from at least three solar companies in your area to find the best deal.</p></div>

Q: Does making solar panels harm the environment?

• <div><p>Although solar panels harness the sun's power, they come at an environmental cost. The manufacturing process requires large amounts of water and involves hazardous materials like cadmium, silicon, and gallium arsenide. These materials don&rsquo;t pose safety hazards while the panels are in use but can pose a problem when left in landfills. Over time, hazardous materials can leach into the environment. This is why recycling solar panels whenever possible is better than taking them to landfills.</p></div>

Q: Do solar panels need to be removed to replace the shingles?

• <div><p>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&rsquo;t remove or reinstall solar panels as part of a roofing project, so you&rsquo;ll need to contact your solar provider.</p></div>

Q: How many solar panels do you need to run a solar well pump?

• <div><p>Solar well pumps range from needing 200 watts of power to as much as 12,000 watts for heavy-duty pumps. Since the most common and cost-friendly solar panels are 100-watt panels, you&rsquo;ll need between two and 12 panels. The average is between two and eight panels for standard pumps. Based on the average cost of solar panels (<b>$1 to $1.50 per watt</b>), you&rsquo;d pay between <b>$200 and $1,800</b> for your well pump solar panels&mdash;not including installation.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take to install solar panels?

• <div><p>The time it takes to install solar panels depends on the number of panels and the size of your home, but installation takes between two and three days of work. While most contractors can install the panels over the course of a couple of days, switching to solar energy can take two to three months in total. This includes the time it takes to design the system, procure the parts, obtain the permits, install the panels, connect to the main power grid, and get an inspection. </p></div>

"We planned to become solar after we remodeled our house in 2019 however we did not know how to find a contractor. SCSP was the first one we contacted and we are glad we did. They assessed our property and our electricity consumption. Quickly they provided options on the number of solar panels and their locations. The sales process was expedited with detailed documentation of the proposed system layout. The installation took a week. Although I am very picky about cable runs not hidden, I can say that the installation was very well done. We were nervous on a 70' long trench to dig through our new backyard but we do not notice it anymore. The connection took one month, which I would have wished to be shorter. Our solar system consists of 63 panels and three sets of batteries. It has been running since February: - We have seen a major impact on our electric bill. Our last bill was divided by eight with even a refund on one of our meters. - The Enphase application is a great tool that provides real-time tracking of the electricity consumption, the solar production, the battery charging, and the supply to the grid - We experienced a 4hr power outage after a storm It was nice to have power while our neighborhoods were in the dark. - SCSP is very proactive in providing support, when we have concerns. Overall we are pleased with our systems. It is a pricey systems and remains pricey even with the tax credit but the saving on electricity bill will definitively help over the years. Being independent from the grid in case of loss of power, as well as minimizing the impact on the environment, are both a great feeling. We strongly recommend SCSP for their quality of service."
