Solar Panels
You’ve been hearing about people in California putting solar panels on their roof for years, but have never given it any serious thought. That is, until you just opened your latest electric bill and almost passed out! Solar is really looking like a serious solution to your high bills – so, where to start?
1. Do your research
There are numerous manufacturing companies out there with a variety of residential solar panels for your home. See what people in California are saying – the internet is a great place for reviews about brands and products. Efficiency varies between solar companies and modules. Not all warranties are created equal; make sure you choose a brand that not only has good ratings but also has a solid warranty.
2. Decide what you want
Are you interested in simply reducing your bill or completely eliminating it? Or are you more interested in being green? Systems are custom-sized according to your particular usage and your energy goals. Weigh the cost with the benefits and remember, this is not just a purchase; it’s an investment that will not only protect your future electric expenses, but also increase the property value of your home.
3. Make the call
After you are armed with your information and have a good idea in mind about what you want to accomplish, now is the time to call for a site analysis.
The solar consultant will be able to explain the system in more detail as well as answer any questions about solar power that you still may have. The consultant will also take measurements and assess any possible shading issues on the roof or elsewhere.
By the end of the visit, you should have a good idea of not only how much your solar system will cost, but also how it works. You will then be able to make an educated decision about whether or not you are ready to make the switch to solar!
