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.
