"Earth Right Mid-Atlantic was one of several companies we consulted for the installation of solar panels and attic fans for our new home in Williamsburg. The presentation, by Corey Argentino, was informative and provided a clear idea of the costs for various systems and what we might expect over time. We installed the reflective foil in the attic along with the solar powered fan over the summer and had solar panels installed in the Fall. The entire process was done in a very professional manner and the final results appear to be positive (we havenâ t had a full yearâ s experience yet to know comparable results). Once the solar panels were completed, and I downloaded the application to monitor them, I really like looking at the app and seeing how much power we are generating. Once we have a full year of experience, we may expand the solar panel configuration but only time will tell as we move forward. Earth Right Mid-Atlantic powered by Convert Solar makes a great team to help reduce our carbon footprint!"

Solar Panels questions, answered by experts

Solar panels should get at least four to six hours of direct sunlight daily. It’s even better if sunlight reaches panels between the peak hours of 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. This is enough to power a home, depending on your solar system’s size and energy needs. Remember that panels will generate some power under cloudy skies or in the shade, and many systems compensate for lower sun exposure by drawing energy from the grid or battery storage.

You can install solar panels on a metal roof, but it will require some additional thought and care versus a traditional asphalt shingle roof. That’s because heat dissipates off a metal roof differently than asphalt or wood, so you may need to space the panels further from the roof. However, a pro can help you with the details and provide a safe and effective installation.

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.

In most cases, yes, solar panels are well worth the investment. Going solar with your home’s energy is expensive, but, in most states, the panels will pay for themselves by reducing your electric bills. Solar panels 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.

Professionals use the same methods to install solar shingles that they do for asphalt shingles, so you’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.
