Renewable energy sources are more important than ever before. Not only are they more sustainable than fossil fuels, and therefore more environmentally friendly, they are also better for human health. In the long run, renewable energy sources like solar energy are less expensive and affect fewer natural resources; for example, solar panels don’t pollute bodies of water.
The main concern with renewable energy is that most people don’t know how or where to start. There are several factors to consider before you make the switch to solar, but it all begins with the evaluation of your electrical requirements.
Contact Par-Troy and we’ll perform a home energy evaluation in your New Jersey home to determine the best solar panel system for your property.
Apart from the electricity output you need, structural requirements are also among the top considerations for installing solar panels. On average, the solar panels and the accompanying mounting equipment weigh about 2 to 4 lbs. per square foot (or about 10 to 20 kg per square meter) so your roof has to be able to hold the weight. If you’re planning to renovate, you should also get this taken care of before installing solar panels.
