Are insurance companies against solar panels?

• <div><p>Insurance companies aren’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—this, in turn, can increase insurance company liability and payouts. However, you’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: 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>

Q: Can I install solar panels by myself?

• <div><p>While you can install solar panels by yourself, it can be a complicated process full of lots of manual labor, risky roof work, and knowledge of electrical wiring. Most solar panel installation projects should be reserved for a trained professional&mdash;especially if you plan on connecting your panels to the electrical grid rather than for off-grid use, which doesn&rsquo;t require utility services.</p></div>

Q: Will solar panels void my roof warranty?

• <div><p>In most cases, installing solar panels will not void your roof warranty. To keep roof warranties intact, check your written warranty or call the manufacturer to ask about clauses regarding roof penetrations. You can also protect yourself by getting written approval or a modified warranty that specifically allows the solar installation type you&rsquo;re planning. Then, hire a professional solar installer that follows roofing manufacturer instructions and protects the roof during installation.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take to build a solar farm?

• <div><p>The actual time it takes to construct the solar farm is relatively short, taking between <b>2 and 4 months</b> on average. That timeline is dependent on site conditions, crew size, and the overall size of the solar farm.</p><p>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&rsquo;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. </p></div>
