"When I moved into a new house in Maryland I was set on getting a solar system installed. After reviewing several proposals from competing companies I signed on with Nova Solar. From the proposal to the installation to the start-up of the system Nova Solar's attention to detail was none I have ever experienced working with subcontractors on my house. Their attention to detail was extraordinary. All of my inquiries and questions on the system were answered thoroughly and in a timely manner. There were several tax credits, renewable energy credits and grants that were available for my solar system and in my jurisdiction. Nova Solar made sure that each of the applications were completed and received for their system. When completed Nova Solar sent links to each of my electronic devices so I could have access to the system on line to track the daily energy production and to see any trouble with the system (which there have been none to date) at any time during the day. I have been in the subcontracting business for over 30 years and know a good subcontractor when I see one. I have had an excellent experience with Nova Solar and would highly recommend their services to anyone who is interested in solar energy."

"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.

"We had been meaning to remodel our master bathroom for awhile as the shower was very small and we had piping issues for our older house originally built in the 1970's.  Valari, the owner of Vostock Contractors, was recommended to us by my brother who had hired him to do minor contracting work around his house, including roof and ceiling repairs and minor wall fixes.  Valari came over and looked at the old bathroom and gave general ideas of what was possible for a complete remodel.  Valari is not an internal design consultant, so we ended up coming up with the bathroom concept ourselves and made all the decisions around fixures, tiles and layout ourselves.  He, however, was a good sounding board for us to bounce our ideas off of to consider different concepts.  Valari even provided recommendation for tile shops to help us in choosing our tiles, which we were very pleased with.  He also gave us clear estimates of how much material would be needed and what type of material would be needed (as we really had no clue).

Once all of our basic design decisions were made he gave what we felt was a very reasonable estimate for the job and we agreed to a timeframe to do the work in.  We purchased almost all the materials for the remodeling ourselves, but Vostock Contractors picked up all the materials ordered from the businesses.  The work for the bathroom remodel was handled almost entirely by the workmen hired by Vostock Contractors who were very considerate around making sure that they spent time to clean up every day.  The only real minor complaint I would have of this experience was when it came to trying to get the workmen to come on the weekends to finish the work within the timeframe originally agreed upon, they would promise to come, but then would show up significantly later than the agreed upon time, or not show up at all.  This only happened on weekend days and normal weekday work was done at agreed upon time. 

Valari came to inspect the work on almost every day.  He also made sure that any improper work done was redone by the workmen, which did occur once with the toilet installation which was originally leaking a bit after the initial installation.  If any materials were needed for the next day's work Valari made sure that we had all the information that we needed to go and purchase the materials. 

Overall, we were very satisfied with the work done on our remodeled bathroom and the professionalism of the work done by Vostock Contractors.  We have subsequently used him to do some minor electrical work (install chandelier, recess lighting and outdoor lighting) and were again quite pleased with the work done by Vostock Contractors at a reasonable price.  This follow-up work was done personally by Valari himself and without issue.  We highly recommend Vostock Contractors."

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.

There are a few great questions to ask a solar contractor or inspector when you speak to them. You’ll probably want to find out about the energy yield and efficiency of your array, ensuring the actual output matches the amount you calculated when installing the array in the first place. It’s also a good idea to find out about any damage or wear and tear on the array and to inquire about how soon you need to make repairs or replacements to essential components.

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’re planning. Then, hire a professional solar installer that follows roofing manufacturer instructions and protects the roof during installation.

Solar batteries can be a great investment to help maximize your solar savings and make your system and home more valuable, but they’re most beneficial to customers who don’t have access to net metering. If your state or energy provider doesn’t provide net metering, batteries can be a great way to offset consumption even when your panels aren’t producing power. They also come with the added benefit of providing electricity through blackouts, so they’re valuable in areas prone to severe weather that could cause frequent blackouts. Your installer can help you decide if batteries are worthwhile.

The best solar panels to withstand hail are those rated UL 61730. These solar panels are certified to withstand hailstones up to 3 inches in diameter and travel at speeds up to 88 mph. IP68 solar panels are the next most resilient solar panel. Solar panels without these ratings can handle hail up to 1 inch in diameter that travels up to 50 miles per hour. If you live in an area with frequent or severe hailstorms, purchasing UL 61730 solar panels is often worth the investment.
