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: What other projects should I do at the same time as installing a new subpanel?

• <div><ul><li><p>Installing a new electrical meter box</p></li><li><p>Replacing your meter base</p></li><li><p>Replacing your service entrance cable </p></li></ul><p>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. </p><p>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.</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>

Q: How hard is it to install solar panels by yourself?

• <div><p>DIY solar panel installations are hard to manage by yourself. You&rsquo;ll likely need some help or prior experience to make the project worth the effort.</p></div>

Q: What questions should you ask your solar panel inspector?

• <div><p>There are a few great <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/hiring-solar-installer-ask-these-8-questions.htm">questions to ask a solar contractor</a> or inspector when you speak to them. You&rsquo;ll probably want to find out about the energy yield and efficiency of your array, ensuring the actual output matches the amount you calculated when installing the array in the first place. It&rsquo;s also a good idea to find out about any damage or wear and tear on the array and to inquire about how soon you need to make repairs or replacements to essential components.</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.

the old softener was running constantly *went through 100lbs of salt in a day* and we were unable to turn the softener off. Owner of FP came an hour after returning my call; he turned the malfunctioning softener off and scheduled to install a new softener system the following day. His son did the installation with his father (owner of business) checking in periodically to offer assistance.) Very fine people who did a complete job, leaving the work area clean and tidy upon completion of work. Owner checked back with me a few weeks after installation to ensure all was working well.
