Should I remove solar panels or get a solar hot water heater?

Rich C asked:


I just found out that my homeowners insurance company wants to charge me $300 more per year because I have some old solar panels on my roof. They were put on by the previous owners a long time ago I think. They are for a solar water heater but they aren’t connected to anything because I just have a regular water heater in my garage. They are ugly as hell and I would just as soon take them down as I’d rather have a tankless system eventually anyways. My insurance is already $3150 per year for a 140K house (Florida) so its high enough as it is. It seems stupid to pay $300 a year for something I’m not even using. Who can I call to take them down or can I do it myself or are solar water heaters cheap enough now that I should consider one?

arkelanor asked:


I want to install solar panels in my roof and most installers don’t recommend any particular brand. Do you have experience with any particular brand that has worked for you or anybody you know? Does the brand of the panel make a difference?
I’ talking about photovoltaic panels. I’m interested in connecting to the grid and getting the benefits that my state (Arizona) is giving to individual homes. Thanks for asking.

Do I only need solar panels to have energy in day and through the night?

Thursday, February 17th, 2011
Amber asked:


So I want to go completely solar. Do I need the connected solar panels alone for after sundown hours; Do I need something else in order to have energy to run my entire house throughout the night?

In other words do solar panels store the energy for after sun-down or do I need other devices to store the energy?
