Seriously considering a solar panel roof but feel overwhelmed?

Your roof location is likely not suited if it has limited sunlight. It will be economically no feasible.

Solar generation, Location, California

Also contact the Generating companies in California as some of these companies may have a Solar Generating incentive for homeowners where the panels and associated equipment is installed at no cost to you and you reap some profits from the power generated. Usually after 20 years the whole system is yours.

Ask for references. I would start by inquiring with local and surrounding electrical supply companies. Ask for any references to electrical/mechanical contractors who may have experience installing solar energy panels. Then, once you get some leads you can ask the contractor for a few references from past clients. Check them out. Ask the previous homeowners about their experience. There are good contractors out there. I ensure you. You just have to do a little homework to make sure you are paying for a quality job.

you need a roof that gets full sun. solar systems are still very expensive, and unless you have very high

electric bills, it will take years before you get anything out of your investment.

Solar panels are getting cheaper, soon they will be price competitive with the grid.

Take references from your friends.Ask your neighbors for any references.....After consulting so many peoples definitely you will be able find a better contractor...........
