How To Get Solar Panels for Your Home
Getting rooftop solar panels is simple and there are many federal and state incentives and tax breaks to help lower the out-of-pocket costs to homeowners. Solar panel installation is an investment you make that saves money, helps the environment, and can add value to your home. Contact J-Tech today and explore the solar roofing that fits your energy needs.
Where to Place Solar Panels
The optimal placement of solar panels depends on several factors, including geographical location, roof orientation, shading, and local regulations. Try to set up your solar panels in a way that they will absorb the most sunlight. Panels should usually face north or south to maximize sun exposure throughout the day, depending on which hemisphere you live in. Solar panels should also be placed in locations with minimal shading to ensure maximum sunlight exposure. Before starting the solar panel installation process, be sure to check local regulations, building codes, and HOA rules regarding solar panel installation.
Net Metering
One of the primary benefits of installing residential solar panels is the monetary savings that a family could enjoy. Installing solar panels will lower your monthly electricity bill, sometimes so much that you could receive a refund for the excess electricity you generate and send back to the grid. This is called net metering. Since homeowners will only be billed for their net electricity usage, solar panels can occasionally provide all of the house’s energy needs and more. Be sure to research Nebraska net metering law to find out how much you can save.
