Solar Panel Installation

Every year, The Home Depot helps thousands of homeowners install solar power systems that will reduce the cost of their monthly electricity bills. Transitioning to solar power requires custom designers and experienced contractors who can work with you on the installation of your solar panels from start to finish.

You'll be guided through all phases of your solar energy project, including a free consultation, system design, purchase, local permitting, installation, and ongoing monitoring and maintenance. Our expert designers and solar panel installers will save you time and make the addition of solar power easy with a quick install. The team will even take care of all the installation-related paperwork with your local permit office, as well as meet with city and utility inspectors to ensure your solar power system is approved and ready for activation.

How Solar Panels Work

Solar power systems help convert sunlight into electricity. This would not be possible without the use of solar panels. Panels collect sunlight using photovoltaic cells and transfer the generated electrical current through wiring to produce electricity. Solar panels also can be wired together to create a system, increasing the amount of solar energy collected and solar power produced. Regardless of the type of solar panel used, the most ideal setup for a solar power system is installing solar panels on a roof — in a region with long peak sunlight hours — with the panels facing south (for homes in the Northern Hemisphere).

Advantages of Solar Power

Investing in a solar power system is easier today than ever before. The power system and number of solar panels are customized to your home and its needs. During your free in-home consultation, The Home Depot’s local solar power installer will clearly explain the installation process and how easy it is for you to go solar. By powering your home with clean, renewable solar energy, you’re creating a healthier environment and conserving natural resources. Lowering the cost of your electricity bills, having solar panels installed that require little-to-no maintenance for decades, and investing in renewable power are some of the best advantages of adding a solar power system to your home.

Clean Energy

Solar power systems offer every homeowner a clean, renewable energy source that produces no carbon emissions. The result? Cleaner air, water and food for everyone. Having professional designers and experts install solar panels on your home is a great first step to reducing your carbon footprint.
