The following is a list of factors that may affect the suitability of your home for installing a solar electric system:
Roof Orientation - Is there a roof facing south (or close to south) that may be used to mount solar panels?
Shading from Trees - Is that roof sunny for at least 7 to 8 hours each day, all year round?
Ground Mounting - If the roof cannot be used for mounting panels, is there a sunny space on your property for a ground mounted array?
Electric Utility - Are you connected to an
electric utility that is participating in the NJCEP rebate program
(such as JCP&L, PSE&G, or ORU)?
Financing - Are you able to obtain financing either by home equity or a second mortgage?
Compatibility Examples
Good
The roof is directly facing south and there are no
objects in the way that could potentially cast a shadow over the solar
panels.
Questionable
Orientation of roof (towards the east) and occasional
tree may not be ideal for solar. A site survey would be necessary to
confirm application.
Bad
The quantity and location of trees around the house will cause too much shading over the roof throughout the day,
making this house unsuitable for solar unless all shading trees are
removed.
