"My April, 2019 electric bill was $1.05. I am amazed at the solar production of my YellowLite system in NE Ohio. We installed 20 solar panels (6.2 kW) in July, 2018 after learning that some friends used YellowLite and were happy with their installation. The company was helpful teaching us the ins and outs of solar power before we made our purchase. YellowLite handled all the permits and paperwork with our electric company so we didn't have to. The installation crew and electricians did a great job. The SolarEdge app is a great way to see how much power we're generating on any given day. We picked YellowLite because they have a long track record of solar installations. We're already planning to buy more panels sometime in the future as we've since bought an electric vehicle. Solar power is essential to a clean environment and we're happy to invest in a cleaner world for future generations. YellowLite did a great job for us."

"GENX removed 27 solar panels and reinstalled after a new roof was put on. Suranjan's team (including himself) were very careful, and super responsive. Very knowledgeable and certified in Enphase technology. I wished we had used them for our original install! Now we would like a quote for a battery. We are cranking with these panels!"

"Plumber was courteous, listened to my comments concerning installation options, and did an excellent job; cost was higher than the estimate, caused by unforeseen difficulties that required additional work."

"As of Apr 1, 2025 my solar system is up and running. All completed in a very professional manner by the Green Rack Solar team from Columbus, Ohio. After all of my research and discussions with multiple installers I decided to go with the Green Rack Solar company. When comparing cost, equipment, and support I decided Green Rack Solar provided the best value. I started my research by submitting information on the EnergySage website. That site resulted in 7 quotes from different solar companies. I narrowed that list down to three companies and then contacted each POC by phone. All reps were knowledgeable and very helpful answering my questions about solar. From that point I picked Green Rack Solar. I worked a lot with Scott McKinstry. We discussed different hardware, system size, pros and cons of different mounting locations and details about warranties and support. I would recommend Green Rack Solar to anyone interested in having a system installed."

"I bought a new toilet from Lowes and had them install it. Big mistake. The installers didn't know what they were doing (admitted they installed it wrong) and couldn't figure out how to fix it. Super Dave and Mike figured out the issue almost immediately and corrected it! Will be coming back to them for all my plumbing needs in the future!"

The average cost to install solar panels is around $26,600, and most homeowners pay between $4,500 and $53,000. Keep in mind that these prices don’t consider the federal investment tax credit (ITC), which can effectively reduce those costs by up to 30%. The price you can expect to pay for solar panel installation depends on the size of the system, where you live, the type and brand of panels, and the labor costs. Get price quotes from at least three solar companies in your area to find the best deal.
In most states, solar installers need to be licensed and insured as solar professionals, although some states don’t have specific requirements for installers. You can use our state licensing tool to check if an installer you’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.
There are a few qualifying questions you should ask a local solar panel company before hiring them:
Will you handle permits for the installation?
Does your total price include the equipment and labor?
How long do you expect the installation process to take?
What kind of workmanship warranty do you include with your installations?
Who should I contact if I have a problem with my system after installation?
Do you install the panels or outsource the work to third parties?
Will you file for solar incentives for me?
In most cases, yes, solar panels are well worth the investment. Going solar with your home’s energy is expensive, but, in most states, the panels will pay for themselves by reducing your electric bills. Solar panels don’t produce greenhouse gasses or other pollutants, meaning you can feel good about using this renewable energy source to power your home. Plus, installing solar panels can boost your home value, helping your profit off your next home sale.
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.
