What You Need to Know Before Installing Rooftop Solar Panels

Rooftop solar panels are one of the most popular products for homeowners that value green energy. These home installations can help you to save money on every energy bill by selling power back to the energy grid. Making the switch over to solar power can be a far more energy-efficient solution for homeowners and beneficial for savings in the long run too. With a number of government rebates available for solar panel installation, it’s more advantageous to install this technology than ever before.

Before you decide to install rooftop solar panels there are a number of inspection checks that you should complete before making the investment:

Rooftop Inspections

A professional rooftop inspection should take place before any solar panel installation. Assessing your roof to determine if it’s suitable for solar panels is important. A rooftop inspection will check to make sure that your roof is able to structurally support solar panels and that your roofing materials will not require immediate replacement. Replacing items like shingles before solar panels are installed can be a much more cost-effective choice.

Checking Your Yard

Checking for signs of obstructions such as overhanging trees can be important to maintaining efficiency with your solar array. Trimming back some of your trees and looking for other areas where solar panels could be obstructed through the day can help you prepare for maximum energy efficiency.

Choosing your Solar Panels

Choosing solar panel products for your roof can also be very important. There are photovoltaic systems for energy and thermal systems that can be used for your internal heating systems and water heating systems. Homeowners need to consider the type of space they have available and what products would work best for their cost savings. Choosing a manufacturer for your rooftop solar panels can be important for maintaining efficiency and minimizing the amount of maintenance you may have to complete on the rooftop too.

Speaking with a Utility

Some utilities may charge you for the hookup on your solar panels. It’s also important to consider how you be reimbursed by the utility company for the solar power you are installing. More information from a local utility company can guide your purchase decision.
