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: What’s the difference between rooftop solar panels and a solar farm?

• <div><p>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. </p></div>

Q: Why not put solar panels on the roof?

• <div><p>While solar panels can be a great investment, they aren&rsquo;t ideal for every roof. For example, some roofs, especially older or structurally weak ones, may struggle to support the added weight, leading to potential damage. Roofs with complex designs, obstructions, or limited sunlight exposure might not provide optimal conditions for solar energy production. Consider these downsides when determining if <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-install-solar-panels.htm">solar panel installation costs</a> are worth it.</p></div>

Q: Can I hook up a solar panel directly to a battery?

• <div><p>You shouldn&rsquo;t hook up a solar panel directly to a battery. That can damage the solar battery and your appliances over time. Instead, install a charge controller between your solar panel and solar battery. Charge controllers regulate voltage, prevent overcharging, and minimize the amount of electrical current to protect your battery from voltage spikes.</p></div>

Q: Do solar installers need to be licensed or certified?

• <div><p>In most states, solar installers need to be licensed and insured as solar professionals, although some states don&rsquo;t have specific requirements for installers. You can use our <a href="https://www.angi.com/angi-license-check.htm">state licensing tool</a> to check if an installer you&rsquo;re considering hiring holds the proper licensing. No matter where you live, a member of your solar panel installation company must be a certified electrician to connect your panels to your home and the electric grid.</p></div>

"I was very impressed with the installer who was sent. He mounted the dish without drilling through my new roof, which might have voided my roof warranty, Also, he mounted the dish in a location where it is easy for me to brush the snow off it in winter. I appreciate his knowledge and thoughtfulness. Also, they didn't charge me to re-install the dish."

"Our panels are working flawlessly, producing electricity for our house and to power up a car for most of our driving. Trackers are great. They follow the sun and when vertical, they shed snow. Our neighbors have roof mounts. Their panels are covered for days after a snowstorm when ours are clear and working. It was a good decision. Solaflect is a wonderful company. They engineer and produce a superb system, install it well, and take good care of their customers."
