Will Solar Panels Work When It Snows?

Central Pennsylvania and New Jersey typically receive a significant amount of snow during the winter, so you may wonder if installing solar panels is a wise investment.

KC Green Energy installed a new roof for me as well as solar panels. What a great experience. Josh was amazing to work with and was extremely responsive and professional. I could not have asked for a better person to work with. I wish I would have done solar sooner. My electric bill went from a couple hundred dollars per month, to around $75 the first month (February bill from January), to $15, and now I am negative on my electric bill. I would highly recommend this company to anyone, and Josh was especially great to work with.

KC Green Energy delivered the benefit of commercial roofing expertise and professional, respectable in-house installers that worked thoughtfully to minimize the impact on our business throughout their installation. With the best price on tier 1 panels and proactive, courteous communication throughout the process, the decision to contract with KC Green Energy was simple.

We finally decided to invest in a solar system to manufacture our own energy because of the Federal Tax Credit and other incentives. We received several proposals but chose KC Green Energy because of their professionalism in their approach and presentation, technical knowledge and system design, price competitiveness, and knowledge of roofs. Their roofing division guided us in terms of which buildings would make the most sense to install the solar system and what type of roofing system and specification is best for under a new solar system. Their combined expertise in solar and roofing was the deciding factor because of their “Single Source” service for solar and roofing. Having a single source contractor eliminates the potential for “misses in overall design or execution and” finger-pointing between a roofing contractor and solar contractor down the road should warranty issues be involved. We are happy with our solar investment and our relationship with Kautz Construction, owners of KC Green Energy and Kautz Roofing, both as a solar system supplier and a roofing supplier.
