1. Solar panels need to fit your roof. Unfortunately, not all roofs are able to hold solar panels due to age, size of the home, or the equipment. We will make sure your house if fully able to support and use solar panels before we begin discussing installation or purchase.
2. Your roof needs to have an area that comes into contact with a lot of direct sunlight to take full advantage of your solar panel system. We understand that not every home was built this way, but if we can make it work in order to benefit you and your family's energy consumption that we will try our best to maximize your solar panel exposure. We normally install panels on the south side of a house, but will place them where there is the least amount of blockage like trees, chimneys, and other shadows.
3. Know how sturdy and reliable your roof is before the installation. We will get to know your roof, how it was installed, and how many good years it has until it needs to be replaced again. Our solar panels for homes can last upwards of 25 years. We want you to be able to commit to the solar panels and keep them for as long as possible. Which means, your roof needs to be able to last as long as they do. If you are needing a new roof within the next few years, it may be a better idea to go ahead and replace your roof or postpone your homes solar panel installation until the roof is up to par. The last thing we want is to install your homes solar energy system and have to return two years later to remove and reinstall because your roof needs to be replaced.
4. We recommend making the investment in your homes future and your energy bill savings and installing solar energy panels on your home instead of leasing them. You will end up spending more over the 20 year lease contract than you would if you purchased them. The savings from your energy bill would be void from the amount you pay to lease the solar panels. While the initial cost of installing solar panels on your home is more, they pay for themselves in 5 to 10 years, after that you have free electricity for as long as the panels last. Make an investment in the future of your home, your bills, and renewable energy!
5. Check your roof warranty, property taxes, and homeowners insurance policy before install. We normally do not have any issues with these, but to be on the safe side, we ask that you check to make sure that a solar panel installation does not void your roof's warranty. It has been said, in some locations, that your property taxes could increase after a solar panel installation so look into your local property taxes before discussing an installation. You may also want to add to you homeowners insurance policy protection for the panels in the rare event that a storm or other incident damages your solar energy panels.
