solar_panel_specialistIt’s no secret that specialists typically provide you with better service, more experience and a superior end result. Whether your are hiring a roofing specialist to install a new roof, a computer security specialist to protect your important data, or a solar panel installation specialist to install your Maryland solar panels.

Warning! There are far too many companies in Maryland that “do it all” or “can install solar panels.” Just because a home improvement contractor or plumber can install solar panels does not mean they should. Selecting a Maryland solar panel installation company that specializes in the type of solar panel installation you are considering will ensure a properly sized and engineered solar installation that will last decades.

Avoid home improvement companies or contractors that “do it all.” You will not get the same level of expertise and experience needed for a top quality solar panel installation. Why take the risk?…hire a Maryland solar panel installation specialist.

maryland_solar_panels_permitsThe answer is YES. Actually, two permits are required for a solar water heater installation in Maryland. A building permit for the solar panels mounted on your roof and a plumbing permit to make the necessary plumbing connections. Do Not let any company tell you that no permits are required!

The next question to ask your solar panel installer is, “Are all necessary permits included in the solar installation price.” Inexperienced or unscrupulous solar panel installers may fail to mention you will have to pay an additional amount for building permits. These costs can add up. Inexperienced solar panel installers may not realize they need building permits and will end up charging you extra fees to cover this cost.

Also, to get your solar tax incentive money from the Government you need documentation that your installation was completed by a licensed solar installation professional. This includes documentation that the necessary permits were obtained. Don’t make the mistake of not getting your solar panel installation properly permitted and miss out on your tax incentive money!

Your solar water heating panels are connected to the storage tank by two small copper pipes. These copper pipes are bundled in insulation, are flexible and contains no joints.
