A grid-tied solar panel installation may need occasional maintenance, such as reconnecting the system monitoring after a change in internet provider or Wi-Fi password, applying firmware updates, and replacing failed components under warranty. Annual cleaning is also recommended to remove debris.
Solar panels are a tangible asset that can enhance your home's value, similar to other home improvements. The net-metering contract with your utility is fully transferable to the next homeowner at no cost, making your property more attractive in the market. We recommend selling the system with the house to maximize your return on investment.
Hiring a trustworthy solar company with a good track record is more important than going with the cheapest option. A skilled installer will ensure the integrity of your roof by reducing penetration points and utilizing premium anchoring technology. Our racking is bolted to the trusses, and every project is reviewed by a structural engineer before installation..
Yes, snow can temporarily impact solar panels by covering them and reducing energy production. However, solar panels often melt snow quickly due to their heat absorption, and the angle of installation helps the snow slide off. In colder temperatures, panels can actually perform efficiently. Overall, while snow may cause brief drops in efficiency, it typically doesn't result in long-term problems.
