SunVest Solar has worked with over 500 customers across four different states to install more than 30,000 Solar Panels or 7,500 kW. This equates to approximately 9,000,000 kWh of solar production every year, saving our customers a total of more than $1,250,000/year! As a solar developer, we offer a value added approach to design-build general contracting that combines our comprehensive understanding of the dynamic national incentive and financing climate with the detailed regulatory knowledge of local contractors. We take the necessary time to carefully screen local contractors to find those with the highest quality products and proven ability to perform as demonstrated through completed installations and third party certifications. We then combine our subcontractors’ local field experience with our unique and thorough understanding of the complex incentive and financing programs to offer our clients a broad range of programs specifically tailored to meet their needs while optimizing all aspects of the project. We are not limited to any one subcontractor, product, component, or financing method. This business model allows us to focus on proven technologies, offer competitive pricing, and then ultimately build the optimal solar system. The solar market is a moving target with incentive programs that are in constant motion and projects routinely confront upfront financing barriers. We take on the responsibility of ensuring our projects not only produce sustainable energy for decades to come, but we also remove the financing hurdles and enable projects to be a reality from day one.

Solar Panels questions, answered by experts

The average-sized home in the U.S.—around 2,500 square feet—will require between 15 and 34 solar panels to power the whole home. The specific number, however, will have less to do with home size and more to do with how much energy you use each year and the amount of sunlight in your region.

Although solar panels harness the sun's power, they come at an environmental cost. The manufacturing process requires large amounts of water and involves hazardous materials like cadmium, silicon, and gallium arsenide. These materials don’t pose safety hazards while the panels are in use but can pose a problem when left in landfills. Over time, hazardous materials can leach into the environment. This is why recycling solar panels whenever possible is better than taking them to landfills.

It’s possible to install solar on a tar and gravel roof, but it’s far from the best roofing material for solar. Solar installations require roof penetrations, and although your solar installer will seal the holes, they still increase the risk of roof leaks. Flat roofs are already more likely to leak than sloped roofs, and adding solar will only make leaks more likely.

The actual time it takes to construct the solar farm is relatively short, taking between 2 and 4 months on average. That timeline is dependent on site conditions, crew size, and the overall size of the solar farm.

However, the time it takes to get the ball rolling is significantly longer, ranging from 3 to 5 years. With a project of this scale, you’ll need to obtain all of the proper permits and approvals to start breaking ground, and depending on your location, that could be an extended process.

A few disadvantages of installing solar panels on your roof include the high up-front costs and the potential for increased property taxes. Installing solar panels can increase the home’s value, which in turn can mean higher taxes. Depending on your area, you should check with your local tax offices for more information. Another potential pitfall is roof leaks from a poor installation, but this shouldn’t be an issue if you hire a reputable company.
