What You Need to Know Before Installing Solar Panels

Dear EarthTalk: I am considering solar panels for my roof to provide heat for my hot water and possibly to do more than that. Are there some kinds of solar panels that are better than others? How do I find a knowledgeable installer? — Elise, Watertown, MA [More]   RSS news feeds and Widgets on Feedzilla.com - Mattress

    Hi matt. This is John Bourne from Global Solar Center (www.globalsolarcenter.com).

    Unlike solar PV, a solar hot water system is very case sensitive. Since you are located in a colder climate the best panels would be evacuated tube solar collectors.

    If you would like to be connected with an approved installer in your area you can contact my website.
