Please checkout our website and google page for more reviews. Solar power is the way of the future. Get ahead of the curve by signing up for a solar panel installation from Southern Solar. We are a local solar company that specifically only services the hampton roads area. We can get your solar energy system set up and ready to go. You'll be amazed at how much solar energy helps both you and the environment. Find out why everyone is choosing us rather than big national companies that have very high overheads.

"Our Southern Solar install just went online, and it felt so great to produce the first kWh's of our own power! The entire experience with Southern Solar was just amazing â from the very first contact, all the way to the end. I actually was in touch with several solar companies to make sure we get the best offer and product for our home, and Southern Solar was hands down the best company in every single respect. They were very fast, and very responsive. Making a decision like this, it is always very important for me to get the best and trustworthy information. The guys from Southern Solar stood out, especially our sales agent, Matt Burrier. He was able to answer every single one of my questions in full detail and was available during the entire process to coordinate the individual steps. Very knowledgeable, absolutely no B.S. â that was just what I needed to be fully confident. And then, Southern Solar also won in terms of the price they were able to offer, and the install even completed weeks ahead of schedule! Turnaround time with all communications was super fast, and every single person who was involved in the process (sales person, design team, roofers, electricians, etc.) was very professional and delivered high-quality work. The installation looks beautiful (see pictures). The way the cables are run from the roof down looks better than any other solar install in my neighborhood. It was a total "turnkey" solution, I didn't have to do anything; they took care of getting all the permits, etc. I can fully recommend Southern Solar to anyone without any reservations whatsoever, and I wish them all the best in their mission to make VA go solar!"

Solar Panels questions, answered by experts
  • Installing a new electrical meter box

  • Replacing your meter base

  • Replacing your service entrance cable 

The cost to install or upgrade an electrical meter box ranges from $100 to $650, including $50 to $250 for the unit. The meter base passes the power from your electric company to your panel. The cost to replace a meter base is roughly $50 to $250. 

Service entrance cables are electrical cables with multiple wires, bringing power from electrical companies to residential buildings. The cost to replace a service entrance cable ranges roughly from $1,000 to $1,500.

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.

In almost every case, solar panels need to be removed to replace roof shingles. In some cases, such as solar installations where the panels are on raised platforms above the roof surface, installers may be able to install new shingles without removing the solar installation. However, to get a quality roofing installation, panels need to come off. Most roofing contractors won’t remove or reinstall solar panels as part of a roofing project, so you’ll need to contact your solar provider.

The time it takes to install solar panels depends on the number of panels and the size of your home, but installation takes between two and three days of work. While most contractors can install the panels over the course of a couple of days, switching to solar energy can take two to three months in total. This includes the time it takes to design the system, procure the parts, obtain the permits, install the panels, connect to the main power grid, and get an inspection.

Solar panels have a life span between 10 and 40 years, depending on the type of panel. For example, monocrystalline panels can last up to 40 years, while thin-film ones only last between 10 and 20 years. The longevity also comes down to keeping up with solar panel repairs and their related costs .
