Is your roof in good condition?
Is the roof in good shape?If it's close to needing replacement, it's usually best to replace it before installing solar.
When I first heard of solar and all the benefits that came with switching power sources, I was hooked. I get to save, make an impact and have a back covered incase of emergencies all thanks to a few panels. This is all true but even the best of things have their limits. This truth remains the same when it comes to solar. And even the best of things no matter how good still require hard work and patience in order to reap the great benefits. For many homeowners making the switch to solar makes perfect sense but there are some curcumstances where making the switch isnt the right move and can be more of a nuisance than anything else.
If your electric bill is already very low or your home doesn't use much electricity, the savings may not justify the investment. That's why we review your energy usage first, so we can provide an honest recommendation based on your home and your goals.

Roof orientation refers to the direction your roof faces.
Your roof's direction and the amount of sunlight it receives help determine how much electricity your solar panels can produce. Roofs with plenty of direct sunlight typically generate more energy, while shade from trees, buildings, or other obstructions can reduce performance. During a solar assessment, we evaluate your roof's orientation and sunlight exposure to determine the best panel placement and estimate your potential energy production.
Is there enough unobstructed space to install the number of panels needed? Limit space means limit panels and a limit to how much power your home or property will recieve.
