Installation considerations for solar system panels
When choosing to install solar system panels at your residence or business, you need to look at the big picture. There are some issues which may affect the installation process, most of which must be dealt with before installation begins. Below are some of the items you’ll want to keep in mind before you install solar system panels.

Insurance

Installing solar system panels may require special considerations for your homeowner’s or property insurance. Many policies cover solar energy systems, but it is important to double check just to be sure. Also, roof installation of solar system panels may affect certain coverage for your roof. Check with your insurance agent about issues which could affect your coverage, such as roof penetrations which may be necessary for installing solar system panels.

Zoning

Depending on the area you live in, zoning laws may dictate where you can and cannot have solar system panels installed. To ensure compliance with local zoning laws, check with your city or county first. If you have a homeowners association, they may also require approval before installing solar system panels. Make sure to check with these organizations before planning your installation.

Permits

Cities and townships require permits for performing certain work; solar system panel installation also require a permit in your area. Permits must be obtained before installation begins. We can help you navigate the permitting process to ensure your installation is cleared by your city or township to prevent future issues.
