Seriously considering a solar panel roof but feel overwhelmed?

by all of the information out there. I know there are good and bad sellers/installers, as in any business, but I am in strange territory when it comes to roofs. I don't mind paying for quality work, and i hate to pay for a crap job. I have noticed post offices and other institution buildings with recent solar installations but the contractors don't advertise and the agencies won't give out the info. I'm not looking for a five year fix so I can make a sale. Northern California, redwood forest; limited sunlight. The existing roof is 23 years old.

    Your roof location is likely not suited if it has limited sunlight. It will be economically no feasible.

    Google:

    Solar generation, Location, California

    Also contact the Generating companies in California as some of these companies may have a Solar Generating incentive for homeowners where the panels and associated equipment is installed at no cost to you and you reap some profits from the power generated. Usually after 20 years the whole system is yours.

    Ask for references. I would start by inquiring with local and surrounding electrical supply companies. Ask for any references to electrical/mechanical contractors who may have experience installing solar energy panels. Then, once you get some leads you can ask the contractor for a few references from past clients. Check them out. Ask the previous homeowners about their experience. There are good contractors out there. I ensure you. You just have to do a little homework to make sure you are paying for a quality job.

    you need a roof that gets full sun. solar systems are still very expensive, and unless you have very high

    electric bills, it will take years before you get anything out of your investment.

    Solar panels are getting cheaper, soon they will be price competitive with the grid.
