"I initially had reservations about the concept of installing solar panels, but I was keen on getting an estimate and seeking professional advice. That's when I met Arvin. He provided me with a comprehensive walkthrough, clearly outlining the advantages of having solar panels. The entire process was straightforward, with each step being well-explained, leaving no room for surprises or unexpected outcomes. Now, a little over 5 months since the installation, I'm enjoying the benefits just as he promised. I want to extend my gratitude to Arvin for his professionalism and responsiveness. He was always there to address any questions I had, both during and after the installation process. Thank you, Arvin!"

"The Solar panels was installed on a ground mount. 
It was a design that I could use the space underneath for storage.  I did not want a metal system so Renewable
Engineered Systems; built a solar racking system from high end wood, designed
for boats. It was creatively built and they cleaned up all around.

Job site was left clean. System works great.

"It went well.  An electrician and helper arrived when scheduled and completed the work in several hours.   They also installed some outlet protectors for the computer cabling.   They were efficient and polite. 
The same electrician came out the previous week.  I had a build in microwave 'blow" several times, and the last GE repairman suggested that power fluctuations could be part of the issue.   I cannot be certain if the issue is that or just heavily loaded circuits, but the electrician said this would be at least a way to control spikes so none would go to any outlets in the house.  It seems like a good idea anyway as I have many TVs and computers that would be protected with this as well.  Even if this does not fix the microwave issue, the cost was not too much to protect everything else from spikes. 
The only comment I have is that I never received a receipt for either of the two visits.  I was to get them via e-mail, and none came.  I sent a message to the e-mail address on Asbury's web page so hopefully it will be addressed.  While the cost of the unit and labor was not too high, a written proposal would have been appreciated.

"Very good, almost great. The install team arrived on time, confirmed work order & started the job. In about 4.5 hrs, power was applied & we started to get heat. A quick overview of the HAVC system was given, balance paid all questions answered and there were smiles on most faces. The sales person described the operation of the new HAVC to be quieter than current system and it is. However, the term quieter was not expressed in db difference so a service tech came out and was able to discuss the issue. The whole evolution was a positive event and we will gladly refer Orbit Energy & Power LLC, as a HAVC company that I will work with again."

Solar Panels questions, answered by experts

Solar shingles and solar panels are not the same. While solar shingles use the same technology as traditional solar panels, they integrate with your existing roof. That means they are used to build your roof instead of simply resting on top of it. When comparing solar shingles and solar panels, it's helpful to know that solar shingles are more aesthetically pleasing than solar roof panels. They also do better in harsh weather due to limited uplift from strong winds.

Yes, it is possible to install solar panels on a tar and gravel roof, but it is not the ideal roofing material for a solar installation. The process requires roof penetrations to install the solar racking system. While installers will seal these penetrations, they still increase the risk of leaks. This risk is higher on tar and gravel roofs, which are often flat. Flat roofs are more prone to leaks than sloped roofs because they can pool water during heavy rain and hold snow for longer periods, exposing the roof to more moisture.

Rooftop solar panels supply energy to a single household, where a solar farm can power multiple homes at once with clean energy. Residential rooftop solar panels cost more per watt with a lower project total, and those panels only service the residence they are installed on (in most circumstances). With a solar farm, multiple households can buy into the project and share the overall cost.

Yes, installing solar panels or a solar roof can increase your home's value by approximately 4% to 6%. For a home with a median value of $429,000, this could translate to an increase of around $17,000. A well-maintained solar installation appeals to environmentally-conscious buyers and those looking to lower their utility bills, often helping homes sell faster and at a premium in areas with high electricity rates. However, the exact increase in value depends on factors like the local real estate market, energy costs, and available solar incentives. It's also important that the system is correctly installed and maintained; an older or poorly maintained system may not add significant value, particularly if it's near the end of its lifespan. Other solar features, like panels on a shed, can also boost your home's value.

Yes, you can connect an inverter directly to your solar panels without solar battery storage if your home is connected to the power grid. However, most pros don’t recommend a direct connection because solar panels don’t put out steady voltage. It’s always best to install a charge controller between your solar panel and your inverter to regulate the flow of energy and ensure a stable power supply.
