Solar companies offer installation services to homeowners only. If you are a renter, your landlord will have to determine if switching to solar makes sense for his or her property.

If you use a lot of electricity and your monthly utility bills are high, you are a great candidate for solar. As a baseline, if you pay $100 or more each month you should consider making the switch. Consultations are always free and can be completed without any obligations.

The amount of shade your roof receives will determine where you can install panels and how much energy those panels will be able to produce. If your roof gets more shade than your neighbor’s roof, for instance, this can affect your level of solar production and your savings.

In correlation with the amount of shade your roof receives, the size of your roof is also an important factor. The more spacious your roof, the bigger your solar system can be. If you have more panels on your roof you can produce more solar energy and receive more savings.
