"Dustin was super friendly, and did his best to make sure that my solar panels were back up and running the same day. I highly recommend him as an electrician. I will personally be going back to him for any future electrical work that I need done."

"I had a 14.175 kW solar system installed with one Tesla Powerwall, and honestly, I couldn't be happier—especially here in Houston where the weather can be all over the place. Solstice Solar made everything super easy from beginning to end. They took care of it all—HOA approval, permits, utility stuff—you name it. I talked to a few other companies before deciding, but what really made Solstice stand out was how fast they got back to me, how clear they were about the whole process, and just how easy they were to work with. Xochilth was super kind and helped me every step of the way—she was always quick to respond and super helpful. Ashley was also amazing and made sure permitting and installation approval went through quickly and smoothly. They both made the whole process a lot less stressful. If you’re thinking about going solar, I highly recommend Solstice. They really go above and beyond to make the whole experience smooth and stress-free. Thank you Solstice team!"

"I could not be happier with my experience working with Central Texas Solar. From start to finish, they were incredibly professional, responsive, and trustworthy. Every question was answered quickly and clearly, and they took the time to explain the entire process in a way that made me feel confident and informed. The quality of their work was outstanding. The installation was done efficiently and with great attention to detail. You can tell they take real pride in what they do, and it shows in the final product. It is not always easy to find a company that delivers both top-notch service and top-tier quality. I highly recommend them to anyone considering solar ? you will be in good hands!"

"Solar screens came out and gave a very reasonable price and custom measured each window. Once our shades were in, they came back and installed them very quickly. Now our great room is much cooler. I would definitely recommend them."

"I had solar panels installed by SunPower's subcontractor Hooked on Solar in 2020. In 2023 some of the panels were damaged by an electrical outage and surge. It took about 4 months for Hooked on Solar to identify the damaged panels, schedule an appointment to replacement, but finally they fixed the panels."

"They did excellent job and were professional from beginning to end! I had another solar panel company come before SunPro. They told me I was not allowed to get solar panels because my bill did not reach a certain amount. Which Sunpro did not tell me. They put the panels were I wanted them to go, and were extremely professional. I have the service representative, Cara, in my phone and any time that I need something or have a question she is there. Very knowledgeable and they answer at all hours."

Solar Panels questions, answered by experts

The actual time it takes to construct the solar farm is relatively short, taking between 2 and 4 months on average. That timeline is dependent on site conditions, crew size, and the overall size of the solar farm.

However, the time it takes to get the ball rolling is significantly longer, ranging from 3 to 5 years. With a project of this scale, you’ll need to obtain all of the proper permits and approvals to start breaking ground, and depending on your location, that could be an extended process.

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’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.

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.

While solar panels can be a great investment, they aren’t ideal for every roof. For example, some roofs, especially older or structurally weak ones, may struggle to support the added weight, leading to potential damage. Roofs with complex designs, obstructions, or limited sunlight exposure might not provide optimal conditions for solar energy production. Consider these downsides when determining if solar panel installation costs are worth it.

DIY solar panel installations are hard to manage by yourself. You’ll likely need some help or prior experience to make the project worth the effort.
