Installing solar panels in Staten Island is a great way to build a more sustainable home. It helps to save money on energy bills and eliminates carbon emissions. Before installing solar panels, it’s natural to have questions. Let’s go over the essential questions to ask before installing solar panels.
Do trees around my home need to be cut down? Thankfully, advancements in solar technology have made it so that tree removal is not necessary. Solar paneling can capture sunlight from shady areas. However, sometimes we will need to trim trees around the home for optimal sun exposure.
Will I need a new roof before installation? Before installation, we’ll assess your roof and determine the viability for solar paneling. While replacement is not always necessary, your roof should be in good condition. An older roof may need replacing or repairs. Luckily, almost every type of roof, including shingled and asphalt, works with solar panels.
Is my home facing the right way? In the past, homes facing south worked best because they harnessed the most energy from the sun. With technological advances, homes facing any direction can benefit from solar paneling.
Will the value of my home decrease after installing solar paneling? Many people worry that solar panels will lower the value of their home. Thankfully, this is not true. In fact, solar paneling can often increase the value of your home. The specifics of how high of an increase depends on several factors, including the age of the PV system and your home’s location.
