Solar Panels

The Benefits of Solar Panels



When you install solar panels, you’re going to benefit in two major categories. First, you’ll be helping the environment. Second, you’ll be helping out your bank account. Electricity bills can be pricey, but with solar installation, you can cut that cost. And, should you choose to sell your home, you’ll get a great return on investment. And, as for environmental factors, solar energy doesn’t produce harmful emissions. The process of getting solar energy is a clean and renewable one.

Can my Home Support Solar Panels?

It is true that some homes are not readily able to support solar panels, we will be upfront and honest about the suitability of your home for solar. Factors we consider include, roof space, orientation, shading and angle. Ground mounting can also be an option in some circumstances.

Older homes with weaker roofs risk breaking if solar panels are installed on top. Of course, if your home needs re-roofing, it’s going to need it no matter what. Discuss your options with a roofing professional, and you’ll be able to install your solar panels in no time! Being powered by the sun, if your panels aren’t seeing any, they’re not going to do much good. Solar power installation requires a sunny roof, not put in the shade by buildings or trees.

While in some cases it’s possible to remove trees to make room for panels. At Zion Electric & Solar, LLC, we will never work on an installation until a full inspection has taken place, including using satellite imagery to calculate your sun exposure.
