"The promo was a good lure. We discovered however that unless we brought up that we had bought this Angie's package, we were charged full price without the upgrades and add-ons. I called the person originally contacted (Julie) when I discovered the oversight. Within a week, I received the $25 visa gift card which was one piece of the package. I don't know if the other pieces will be easily added on/credited or not. Haven't seen anything. The visa gift certificate however requires me to send the partner company $2.95 shipping and handling, with a trip to the bank to get it in money order or cashier's check....really? I'm guessing they're hoping most customers won't bother. 
So all in all, we like the product and the installer was awesome.  Loving the service.
The package through Angie's list however I'm still waiting on to see if we got the freebies we bought.

Solar Panels FAQs, answered by experts

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’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.

You can install solar panels on a metal roof, but it will require some additional thought and care versus a traditional asphalt shingle roof. That’s because heat dissipates off a metal roof differently than asphalt or wood, so you may need to space the panels further from the roof. However, a pro can help you with the details and provide a safe and effective installation.

Not all homes are suited for solar panel systems. Older roofs or those in poor condition may need repairs or replacement before solar panels can be installed. Some other factors to consider are the amount of sunlight your roof receives, the roof’s orientation and pitch, and any shading from nearby trees or buildings.

Solar water heating systems are not one-size-fits-all. You'll likely work with a team of experts to get the job done—including solar panel installers, plumbers, and water heater installers. A specialist will help you decide if a passive or active system is best for your local weather, home layout, roof stability, and your budget.

Removing solar panels can be straightforward, but it’s not necessarily a simple process. Your contractor needs to prevent damage—not only to your panels but also to your roof and electrical system. Many systems are wired into the main electrical grid, and you’ll need to hire a licensed electrician to disconnect it.
