Q: Do solar panels need to be removed to replace the shingles?

• <div><p>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&rsquo;t remove or reinstall solar panels as part of a roofing project, so you&rsquo;ll need to contact your solar provider.</p></div>

Q: Do I need permits for solar panel installation?

• <div><p>Yes, solar panel installation will require permits. The required permits will depend on where you live, as some states and cities have solar-specific permits, while others only require electrical permits to connect to the grid. In either case, it&rsquo;s best to hire a reputable solar installer in your area, as a representative should handle all of the necessary permitting for you and will include the cost of the permits in your initial solar estimate.</p></div>

Q: How often should solar panels be replaced?

• <div><p>Homeowners replace their solar panels after 25 years. That said, you don&rsquo;t necessarily need to replace them at the 25-year mark. You&rsquo;ll notice a declining ability to produce electricity over time. Most homeowners spring for a replacement when they notice their energy bills creeping up to regular levels or when solar panel repairs are extensive, frequent, and no longer economical. </p></div>

Q: Can you put solar on a tar and gravel roof?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: Can I install solar panels by myself?

• <div><p>While you can install solar panels by yourself, it can be a complicated process full of lots of manual labor, risky roof work, and knowledge of electrical wiring. Most solar panel installation projects should be reserved for a trained professional&mdash;especially if you plan on connecting your panels to the electrical grid rather than for off-grid use, which doesn&rsquo;t require utility services.</p></div>

I had Schneider come out to my house and trench power. We weren't sure if we were going to run a couple of 110v circuits or if we wanted to put an entire panel in it in case I wanted 220v in the shed (I am a wood floor contractor). I went with just the 110. Schneider put tubing in the ground...

"Art performed a quick and professional installation. The solatube installed in the kitchen provides a lot of needed natural light. Also, my existing attic fan had not functioned for several years, and Art suggested the solar powered fan. Art and Steve removed my old fan and installed the new solar fan. Great job all around.
