Solar Panel Installation And Your Roof
Going solar is one of most people's minds. The idea of being less energy dependent on electricity or gas while saving money seems like a win-win. Solar panels have become increasingly popular as the demand for more electricity grows. You can have solar panels installed on your roof or ground-mounted, but roof panel installation is by far one of the easier options. It is also preferred because the sun exposure is greater on the roof than on the ground.
Can Solar Panels Prematurely Damage Your Roof?
One of the biggest questions homeowners have about solar panel installation is whether or not it can damage the roof. This will come down to who you have installed the solar panels and if they do it correctly. Roofs that are older or have damage already aren't ideal candidates for solar panel installation. You need to check with your roofer before firmly committing or investing in solar panels for your home.
How Long Will The Installation Take?
Normal solar panel installation will take one to two days. It will slightly vary depending on how many solar panels are being installed and if any concerns about your roof arise. Roof-mounted solar panels can be slightly easier to install versus ground-mounted units. The more panels you have to install or the more complex the installation, the longer it will take. Commercial solar installation is a completely different story. These installations can take a week, sometimes a month, to complete.
Cost
Solar panel installation will vary by state. In Arizona, the cost for solar panel installation on average is $13,600. Keep in mind that there are tons of incentives to add solar energy to your home. There are federal tax credits that are incredibly beneficial and cost-saving.
Questions To Ask Your Roofer?
Being comfortable with your decision to go solar is just as important as the solar panels themselves. We highly recommend talking to your roofer before installation begins. Here are a few things we suggest to ask.
-Is your roof in good enough condition?
-Will the solar panels outweigh the current cost of my electric bill?
-How much will I save going solar?
-When can installation begin?
-Expected lifespan of your solar panels
