That said, many \u201csolar curious\u201d consumers still feel somewhat intimidated by the prospect of switching over. To that end, we\u2019ve prepared the following brief FAQ about <a href=\"http:\/\/www.noutilitybill.com\/faqs.html\">solar roofing installations<\/a> and system maintenance.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Will your system break?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As with any other electronic system, solar roofing can malfunction. However, most <a href=\"http:\/\/www.noutilitybill.com\/SolarSolutions.html\">solar roofing<\/a> systems come with lengthy warranties on their most important components. Depending on the company&#8217;s policy and the specifics of the part, warranties may last as long as 25 years.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. What can you do to hedge against problems?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Keep your panels clean of debris, particularly after big storms and during the fall season; spot and repair problems\u00a0before they grow and spread; and have professionals check your panels on a regular basis to ensure optimum performance.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. How will you know that the system is working properly?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>To prevent problems, you need to monitory your system&#8217;s function continuously. Fortunately, most solar companies monitor the systems they install and inform customers when problems occur.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. What if you need to fix your roof?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Depending on the nature and scale of the damage, the solar panels may need to be removed first. Unfortunately, the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.centuryroofandsolar.com\/SolarGallery\/SolarIndex\/content\/index.html\">solar company<\/a> will not cover this cost. Thus, if you have an older roof, or you need to make repairs, take care of these issues before you install solar roofing. Another great way to avoid problems with finger pointing as solar and roofing companies claim the other is responsible is to have one company perform both a roof inspection and a solar installation for you, this way you have one party to deal with in the event of an issue and your installer has a greater incentive to ensure a perfect job.<\/p>\n<h2>Solar Roofing Puts Money in Your Pocket and Eliminates Green House Gas Emissions<\/h2>\n<p>Transitioning to a solar energy household can be exciting but also scary, especially if you\u2019re used to using grid energy, and you\u2019re already engaged in big projects, such as moving into a new home or finishing a big remodel.
