Solar Panels are becoming popular as a way be self-sustainable and live “off the grid.” Many new companies are selling or leasing solar panels to homeowners. These panels are generally installed on the roof of a home and integrated into your electrical and/or plumbing system. Many small businesses and commercial property owners are also attempting to save money on electrical costs by installing solar panels.

These systems, while considered as a way to save costs over a long term period, can also have costly problems. Solar Panel Companies are leasing systems to property owners and keeping the tax credits for the system. Therefore, a homeowner loses this tax credit advantage for installing the system. Another problem that my arise is with the physical installation of the solar panels. Improper installation of the solar panels may cause major damage to the home’s structural integrity, causing thousands of dollars in repair costs. These problems may not arise immediately, and proving who is liable for the repairs can be difficult.
