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>

Q: Do I need permits for solar panel installation?

• <div><p>Yes, solar panel installation will require permits. The required permits will depend on where you live, as some states and cities have solar-specific permits, while others only require electrical permits to connect to the grid. In either case, it&rsquo;s best to hire a reputable solar installer in your area, as a representative should handle all of the necessary permitting for you and will include the cost of the permits in your initial solar estimate.</p></div>

Q: Are insurance companies against solar panels?

• <div><p>Insurance companies aren&rsquo;t against solar panels, but they may have concerns about the risks and costs of insuring solar. The type of policy, where you live, and the insurance company itself matter. Extreme weather can damage solar panels, and faulty installation or electrical malfunctions pose a fire risk&mdash;this, in turn, can increase insurance company liability and payouts. However, you&rsquo;re likely to keep coverage as long as you have a pro install the solar system, keep it maintained, can pass a solar panel inspection, and update your homeowners policy to include solar.</p></div>

Q: When is the best time to install solar panels?

• <div><p>Depending on the climate in your area, the best time to install solar panels is either winter or early spring. Summer is a fine time to install panels, too, but it tends to be the busy season, so prices may be higher and companies may have packed schedules. The installation process can take more time than expected between getting permits and finalizing a design, so start as soon as you can.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take for solar panels to pay for themselves?

• <div><p>Solar panels can pay for themselves in five to 15 years, depending on the cost of your system, how much energy it generates, whether you qualify for incentives or power buybacks, and the price of energy in your area. Solar panels pay for themselves over time as they lower electricity bills, so it will take time to recoup your initial investment. However, the longer you have your system, the more money you can save and earn.</p></div>

I had my meter box/ panel combo replaced, they managed to get the utility company to pull back power, they replaced/ upgraded it, and had the utility company reconnect all in the same day. Their price was also better than 5 other quotes i got.

"We call Dan at Ethical Plumbing. He took our call immediately and arrived within 15 minutes and shut off the water to our house to stop the leak. He then diagnosed the problem, which required an access panel to be cut in from the closet next to the shower. He gave us a quote of $850. He capped the pipe and turned on the water. He came the next day and fixed the problem. As he could do the job of less time than he had initially anticipated, he only charged me $308 instead of the $850. That is what I call an ethical plumber and I will continue to use his services in the future."

"Rep. checked entire system. He found several wires not connected properly and fixed this. He also made recommendations regarding the attachment of the panels to the rood that would provide more stability and leakproofing. The representative appeared to know what he was doing - much better than others, including the representative who was engaged by the roofer (who replaced our rood due to hail damage) to disconnect/connect the panels."
