Considering Solar with your roof…
As our energy costs continue to increase in the upcoming years, solar panels have become more viable as an option. Here is what you need to know if you are looking for solar on your roof in Seattle, Bellevue, and thereabouts.
Best system is a “net metering program” that actually drives a meter backwards thus creating a “credit” to you energy bill. Your energy credit will depend upon the solar system, sunlight exposure and energy usage that you currently have. All solar installers in our area are familiar with it.
Roofing Considerations? there are many..
First, be sure that the solar contractor that you select is one that is very skilled in electrical work, prefereably a licensed electrician. Also, make sure that wherever the system is installed on your roof, the roofing beneath it will last for at least 20 years. No one wants the expense of having to reroof a portion of your home beneath a solar panel because of leaking. Working with an experienced roofing contractor as part of the overall team will ensure that you are getting a leak proof warrantable installation for your solar system.
