Planning & Considering Your Solar Installation
01
Energy Needs:
Evaluate your household’s energy consumption patterns. This will help you determine the size of the solar system you need.
02
Roof Condition and Orientation:
The condition of your roof and its orientation towards the sun can significantly impact the efficiency of your solar panels. South-facing roofs are typically the most productive for solar systems, while east and west-facing roofs can also be suitable.
03
Local Climate:
The amount of sunlight your location receives will directly affect your solar system’s output. More sunlight means more energy production.
04
Incentives and Rebates:
We can advise on local, state, and federal incentives for solar energy. These can significantly offset the cost of your solar system.
05
Maintenance:
Solar panels generally require little maintenance, but it’s still important to consider potential cleaning and repair costs.
06
Grid Connection:
Understand how your solar system will connect to the grid. In some cases, you can sell excess power back to the utility company.
07
Battery Storage:
If you’re considering a battery storage system, weigh the costs and benefits. Battery storage allows you to use solar power when the sun isn’t shining.
08
Long-term Savings:
Consider the long-term savings on your energy bills when weighing the cost of installation. Over time, solar panels can pay for themselves through reduced utility bills.
