There’s certainly no lack of sunshine here in beautiful Florida! Have you been thinking about ways that you might be able to harness the power of the sun to your own benefit? A lot of people have invested in solar energy since it’s more affordable and accessible than it used to be. What are some things to keep in mind before taking the leap?

Well, a major factor to consider is where you’ll have the photovoltaic (this is a fancy word for light-capturing) panels installed? While many people decide to install them on their roof, is that the best option for you? For example, how old is your roof? If a leak or some other damage develops, having photovoltaic panels on top of the roof increases the complication of fixing the issue. Another idea could be to have the panels installed somewhere on the ground. This probably means that they’ll get less sunlight, and may not look as nice, but repairs will be much easier.
