Many people wonder what associa This is a concern some people have, but rest assured solar panels will not effect any electric appliances or components in your home. the voltage and wattage of the power coming into your home from the solar panels is regulated by the inverter first, and secondly by the breakers in your breaker panel. if there was any anomaly which caused a power surge, your solar breakers in your breaker panels would trip. Same goes vice-versa, if a power surge came from the grid, the breakers would trip to protect your solar equipment from being fried.
- Leaks: Anything that is penetrating your roof can eventually cause a leak. This can be due to improper installation, sealant going bad, damage from a storm, or damage from animals like a racoon.
- Panels Flying Off During Storm: There is much fear from homeowners that a panel will come flying off your roof during a storm. While that can happen, there is a very low chance of this happening. Solar panels are mounted and meant to withstand over 140 MPH winds. The wind rating means that it can withstand 140 MPH's sustained for 3 seconds straight. And if a panel did get loose from the mounting structure, it is connected to the remaining array with a cable which will keep it close at bay. If installing via a ballast method where panels sit on the roof with no anchors except bricks or blocks weighing them down, be sure to check the manufacturers wind rating to make sure it withstands the 140 MPH wind rating set standard by the industry.
