Things to Consider When Getting Solar Shingles
If you are considering getting solar roof shingles, you should first make sure your home is a good candidate for them. For solar shingles to work properly and create the most energy for your home, they need to be able to get as much sun as possible. That’s why you should schedule a consultation to make sure your solar panels will get the proper sunlight needed. If they determine you have enough sunlight, you’ll be good to go.
You also need enough room on your roof for the solar roof shingles. In other words, you need a large enough roof that you can install enough solar shingles to power your home. To figure out if you would be a good candidate for solar shingles you should check your electricity bill, and see how many kilowatts your home is using monthly. Then, have your roof measured to make sure your home can fit the right amount of panels to accommodate your home.
Getting solar shingles is a big decision, so you should always go to an expert before making any final decisions. That’s why we offer free inspections and consultations to help you decide if solar roof shingles are the best choice for your home.
Solar Panels in Extreme Climates
Do you experience cold, snowy winters or very windy springs? Solar shingles can still work for your home! Solar roof panels are required to undergo full weather testing before being installed in your home. That means your solar panels should be fine during all weather conditions, including snow, hail, heavy winds, extreme heat, and heavy rain.
