Insurance can be problematic for homes with Solar Panels

Solar Roof Florida Real Estate

As power prices continue to rise more and more people will be looking to add solar panels to their homes.  This was an interesting article posted by the Florida Realtors.  If you’re considering having solar installed on your home you should defiantly check with your insurance carrier prior to starting the project.  The line that stuck with me after reading the article was, “And when you start drilling holes in a roof, it’s problematic”
