Q: Should I install solar batteries along with my panels?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/solar-battery-cost.htm">Solar batteries</a> can be a great investment to help maximize your solar savings and make your system and home more valuable, but they&rsquo;re most beneficial to customers who don&rsquo;t have access to net metering. If your state or energy provider doesn&rsquo;t provide net metering, batteries can be a great way to offset consumption even when your panels aren&rsquo;t producing power. They also come with the added benefit of providing electricity through blackouts, so they&rsquo;re valuable in areas prone to severe weather that could cause frequent blackouts. Your installer can help you decide if batteries are worthwhile.</p></div>

Q: Do solar panels protect your roof from hail?

• <div><p>Solar panels can protect your roof from hail, as they can withstand hail up to 1 inch in diameter that falls up to 50 mph. Your solar panels may experience damage if the hailstones are bigger and travel faster. Your <a href="http://www.angi.com/articles/what-does-hail-damage-look-like.htm">roof can still suffer hail damage</a>, and it&rsquo;s essential to look for signs and repair issues right away. Roof damage can lead to leaks and water damage inside your home.</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>

Q: Are insurance companies against solar panels?

• <div><p>Insurance companies aren&rsquo;t against solar panels, but they may have concerns about the risks and costs of insuring solar. The type of policy, where you live, and the insurance company itself matter. Extreme weather can damage solar panels, and faulty installation or electrical malfunctions pose a fire risk&mdash;this, in turn, can increase insurance company liability and payouts. However, you&rsquo;re likely to keep coverage as long as you have a pro install the solar system, keep it maintained, can pass a solar panel inspection, and update your homeowners policy to include solar.</p></div>

Q: How many hours of sunlight do you need for solar panels?

• <div><p>Solar panels should get at least four to six hours of direct sunlight daily. It&rsquo;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&rsquo;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.</p></div>

"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.

"In short order it was obvious that they knew what they were doing. They replaced the damaged wood. Sealed the opening and reinstalled the skylight. They then further sealed the skylight and replaced the shingles. I feel very confident that it will not leak again. Besides their excellent work, they showed up when they said they would and kept me informed about scheduling. I highly recommend them and I'm getting my list ready for them to do next spring."
