Solar Energy Systems
how much does it cost to buy a Solar Energy System for my roof?
i live in western New York and i would also like to know if i could use this system in winter and what the maintenance would be thanks!
Depends on a lot of different things, among other things how big of a space you want to power. The maintenance isn't much as there really isn't much to maintain with solar energy. The panels, inverters, batteries, etc come with warranties and the initial cost of the entire system can be reduced greatly by incentives from your utility and from NYS.
Again without specifics of what you want I really cant give you an accurate number. If its worth anything my Uncle used a company called Sun Electronics (based in Miami) for a big retro fit on his house in the Florida Keys. He had Solar and Wind installed so obviously his situation is a bit more advanced than yours, but he plugged in his solar calculation data into their website, then verified it against google and a few other sites and wound up getting a great price. He wound up referring them to my In Laws for a small solar system on their house outside of Chicago and they enjoyed using them as well.
Good Luck
