Technical FAQs 4

Should I add solar panels to my existing system?

If you add solar panels to an existing system, you can increase your solar electricity generation, extend the life of your installation, and create further savings on utility energy costs.

Can I add more solar panels if my roof is old?

Do not add more solar panels to your system if your roof is old, it is a leased system, or if you do not have enough roof space for extra panels. Contact your original solar installer to add more panels to your system. Why add solar panels to an existing solar system?

Do I need more solar panels?

When you first get solar panels, the system is designed to install the right amount of solar panels to offset your historic electricity usage. If you start using more electricity after you go solar, you may need more panels to offset that additional electricity usage. In general, our electricity usage stays pretty consistent over time.

Can I add more solar panels to my home?

Most of the time, you can add more solar panels to your home. The economics will probably look a lot different then the first time you went solar. (And if you live in a state like California that upended its solar incentives, you’re probably better off leaving your old setup alone.)
