Tired of skyrocketing electricity bills? Going solar can be a fantastic way to reduce your energy costs and contribute to a cleaner planet. But with so many options and upfront costs, it's easy to feel like you won’t be able to get solar for your home.

We understand that the recent news of SunPower may have raised concerns among our valued solar customers who have their systems.

The upfront cost of a solar panel system can leave even the most eco-conscious homeowner feeling a little burnt. Here at August Roofing & Solar, we understand that financial responsibility can be heavy.

Southern California homes practically beg for solar panels. The sunny weather is abundant, our energy bills are rising, and the cost of living is only going up. You know it’s time to cut the bill to Southern California Edison, but when and how?

We understand the allure of solar energy to shrink or completely stop your electric bill. And living in Southern California, you've likely considered solar panels for your home at one point in time. But the upfront cost can be a hurdle.

Solar panels have become a familiar sight on rooftops across Southern California. They're a fantastic way to get cleaner energy and avoid the bill to the big electric company. But things aren’t the way they used to be back in 2023.

There comes a time when your solar panels may need to be removed and reinstalled. It may be due to roof repairs, insurance purposes, system upgrades, or even a total re-roof. This process, known as Solar R&R (Removal & Reinstallation), shouldn’t be taken lightly.

The short answer is: it shouldn’t. One common question among homeowners in Southern California considering solar panels is whether the installation process can lead to roof leaks. A well-executed solar installation should not compromise the integrity of your roof.

The journey towards sustainable living isn't without its hurdles, especially when it comes to integrating solar panels with the existing structure of your home. Solar R&R is a crucial project especially for those facing a roof leak caused by improper solar panel installation.

During the wave of clean energy, Southern California homeowners have chosen home solar panels as a step towards sustainability and energy independence from the big electric companies.
