How to estimate your solar installation needs

If you’ve made the decision to invest in solar panels, you’re probably curious about the solar panel installation process. How much does it cost? What important factors do you need to consider? What are all the elements involved? What should you expect?

Home solar systems are becoming more common since they are now more affordable. We’re also seeing more people desiring to break free from their city’s electricity grid and to generate free, clean energy for their household. Just as your home is unique, the specific type of solar system you install will also be unique. Home solar systems depend on several factors, and these factors will determine your installation needs, as well as your cost. Let’s explore some of these factors:

• Roof size and shape. Most of us live in homes with slanted roofs, so in order for the solar panels to stay in place, it sometimes requires a bit of extra equipment to be installed to secure your panels. Some roofs are not suitable for solar panels, period. But don’t worry, the panels can be installed on another area of your property instead, such as a front or side lawn. 
• Size of your home. If you live in a large, five-bedroom home and want as many solar panels as possible, then you’ll have different needs from someone who lives in a smaller, one-bedroom ranch. It’s worth noting that larger solar installations aren’t that much more time consuming – installation is usually quick and tidy.
• Solar battery storage and other additional elements. Solar battery storage allows you to store extra energy your panels generate for use at a later date. Home solar systems have several additional elements you can use with your panels, and the team at Green House Solar would be happy to discuss them with you.
