Is Solar right for you?

Have you wondered whether solar power is the right choice for you or not? You know solar power is a great option for your home, business, and environment. Now it’s time to figure out whether it’s the right choice for you or not by considering the following factors:

• Roof size
  Based on the minimum size of the solar system you would install, you need to take into account the number of panels that come with it. This implies your roof’s size should be such that can accommodate the number of panels. If you see that the respective number of panels can fit on your roof, then such a system isn’t for you. Take a look at the photos to get an idea of how they will look when installed on your roof.
• Your Roof’s Direction
  The first question that pops into your head when considering solar power is: “Which direction should my solar panels face?” To get the most from your solar panels, you need to point them in a direction that captures the most sunlight. This advice applies to any type of panel that gets energy from the sun. It isn’t always the case that the panels should face true south or true north. To make good returns, you can choose to place the panels in any direction so they receive the most sunlight.
• Shade
  By using Google Earth and analyzing aerial views of your property, you can see the areas that are under a shade. If your property doesn’t receive direct sun, consider pruning some trees.
• Whether or not you own the property?
  If you don’t own your property then chances are you have to consider having your own property when investing in solar power. Or you would need to take your landlord on board to make the investment on your behalf. Remember, as an owner you will reap the benefits yourself, or else it would be a shared deal with the property owner if the terms are agreed.
