Can I install solar panels myself?
As solar panels become more and more popular, a common question that comes to people's minds is, “Can I install solar panels myself and will this save me money?” Going solar in the long run has great financial benefits as it can completely replace your monthly utility bills and prevent you from being subjected to annual rising electricity prices. These benefits however, do come with a price tag as solar is truly an investment in your home. The average cost of solar in Washington state ranges from $11,000-$16,000 depending on the installation company you choose, and the size of your desired system.
Although it is possible to install solar panels yourself, there are some serious risks to attempting this project on your own. The act of planning and placing the panels on your roof or desired area can be tricky if you want to get the most efficient energy possible from your panels. Determining size and tilt of your panels is also a very important factor to maximize your investment. Wiring for solar panel installation requires experience with high voltage wires and the risk of injury is a reality.
Overall, although it is possible to install solar panels yourself, the risk is large just to save a buck.
