### Will my Newark roof need work before solar installation?

We've installed systems on a wide variety of roof types across Licking County. Our site assessment covers structural condition, orientation, and shading from nearby trees or buildings. Even if your roof isn't ideal, ground-mounted systems may be an option for your Newark property.

### What happens during a solar installation at my Newark home?

After engineering designs are finalized and permits are pulled, our crew mounts racking, installs panels, wires the inverter, and connects everything to your electrical panel. Typical Newark installs take about one day of roof work, but outliers based on system size and complexity might take additional time. We then coordinate AEP Ohio inspection and meter activation.

### What size solar system do I need for my Newark home?

System size depends on your electricity usage and available roof space. The average Newark home needs a 6-10 kW system to offset most of their AEP Ohio bill. We analyze 12 months of your utility data to recommend the optimal size: not too large, not too small.

### Do I need a new roof before installing solar in Newark?

If your roof has more than 10 years of life remaining, solar can typically be installed right away. We inspect every roof during our free assessment. If repairs or replacement are needed, we can coordinate timing with trusted roofing partners so your new roof and solar system are sequenced efficiently.
