How can I find a company that will sell and install solar panels for my home in Pineville, North Carolina?
Do I need a special permit? Will my housing assoc. need to approve?
I would do a search on Yahoo or Google. If you plan to have a grid-tied system — tied into the grid as opposed to a battery system– then you will need to know if your state has a net-metering law and if your utility has special rules for tieing into the grid. And I would definitely find out if your housing association has a problem with it before I spent a penny. But what I have found to be the biggest obstacle to solar is the high cost of the panels and equipment. If you have the money, go for it. If that is problem for you too, you can rent the panels and not have any investment. You just pay for the power the panels produce. It's a grid-tied system, but the company doing this gets all the necessary permits, installs and maintains them. You may have to get the housing association permit on your own. Email me for the link to their website. bullshoalsblues@yahoo.com
