While it’d be great if everyone was able to install solar panels, not every home is ideal. Several factors go into whether or not your home is ready for a solar panel system.
When we come to your house for a free solar analysis, we consider three things:
- What you want to get out of a solar panel system (reduce your utility bills, reducing future costs of energy, improving the value of your home, etc.)
- What direction is your roof facing
- What your current annual energy usage is
The biggest factors that determine whether a solar panel system is right for you include the amount of energy you need, how much sunlight your system receives (remember, you roof should be southerly facing for maximum system efficiency), the size of the system your roof can accommodate and the amount of energy that system can produce.
Once we take into account all of these factors, we can determine if your house is solar ready. Plus, we’ll give you a solar cost/benefit analysis that will show you how much you’ll be saving by installing solar panels.
