Homes that are ideal for solar panels are those with minimal shading and south-facing roofs, and roofs that tilt between 15 and 40 degrees.

However, if your roof doesn't meet these conditions, you may still be able to implement a solar panel system. To receive a free estimate, simply call or text Elite Electrical Contracting today.

Most installations are complete within 1-4 days. The specific timeline will depend on the size and complexity of the job.

There is very little maintenance that comes with a solar panel system. You may need to occasionally remove any debris that accumulates on the panels. Otherwise, your solar panels should operate normally for years to come!

Your solar panels will only generate electricity when the sun is shining. Most homeowners store excess energy in batteries to use at night or on cloudy days. There is also the option to meter your system, which allows you to sell any excess electricity your system generates back to the grid. 

Cost depends on several factors: 

• Size of the system
• Equipment you choose
• Your location

If you’re interested, there are federal and state incentives available to offset the installation cost.
