Solar by the Numbers - How It Adds Up

  1. Should I mount the system on my roof? What should I consider before doing so?
  2. Am I allowed to mount the system in my yard even though I live on a smaller lot, live within city limits, or live in a suburban neighborhood?
  3. Will the panels still work in the winter? Will I have to get up on my roof to clean them off?
  4. How much space do I need on my roof for solar?
  5. Could we get a solar electric system that would be shared with our condo/townhome complex?
  6. Can I have a solar electric system installed if I live somewhere with an HOA?
